Twenty twenty-two has been an interesting year filled with new and improved rimfire offerings from manufacturers, is it a love of rimfire, or is the industry responding to absurd ammunition prices. Whatever the reason, no caliber comes close to the training value or just plain fun that rimfire can deliver. This year Walther Arms introduced a new member of its rimfire line, The Walther WMP in 22 WMR.

“…In life, sometimes the unexpected can happen. Whether it’s an opportunity for fun and recreation or maybe even a life-threatening situation, it’s your duty to be READY. So, when it’s time to hit the outdoors and you need a reliable firearm at your side, the unique Walther Magnum Pistol (WMP), 22 magnum semi-automatic, is the only choice. This isn’t just another target practice plinker, Walther has developed a high quality, lightweight, easy-to-shoot, and affordable pistol for shooters who want to stay READY as part of their active outdoor lifestyle…”
