Borderlands – What specific effect(s) does the borderlands 2 weapon modifier “increases weapon stability” have on a gun

borderlands-2

I want to know the actual effect that the 'increases weapon stability' modifier, which appears to come from a Grip or pistol gunstock, has on a guns performance. Does it just reduce pre-shot scope sway? Does it reduce recoil while shooting? Does it increase the speed a gun regains its accuracy after firing? Does it have any impact on hip-fire performance? Etc.

Is it one, some or all of the above, or something else entirely?

Very curious to know, and i appreciate any and all insight

According to the Borderlands Wiki:

Another important thing to take into account when choosing what sniper rifle is going to serve the best is an invisible quality known as stability. Stability only becomes a factor when sighting a sniper rifle, and it is measured in how fast the weapon stops swaying when first sighted, between shots, and when the user takes damage.
