Walther WMP - .22WMR

[RandyP]

What can I say? It followed me home from my LGS. I wanted to add this caliber to my rimfire collection and sadly found that I lack the digital dexterity to easily load/unload the cheapie Heritage Rough Rider SAA in 22/22WMR I recently purchased and will soon be selling off somewhere. (Thanks arthritis-lol) All the YouTube vids and other reviews I found pretty much raved about the Walther, touting its ease of use, great ergonomics, accuracy, impressive fireball and bang all with very low, controllable recoil. A quick range trip this morning confirmed all the positive reviews. This thing is great fun to shoot. My aging eyes prefer red dots, so I picked up a budget? ($106) Cyelee CT2 off Amazon which mounted easily to the optic ready WMP and it too does not disappoint.  A new shootin' iron is always a nice way to start a new year says I.

I picked one up a couple of months ago.  Fantastic anti-racoon gun, as we are absolutely overrun with the critters here at the farm in IA.  I had the rear sight drilled an put in a couple of green optic dots as I didn't want to mount an optic.  The DeSantis holster that Walthers has on their website works really well.

FWIW this week's range trip confirmed that the budget friendly Armscor 40gr JHP 22WMR ammo functions just fine through the pistol, as does the Fiocchi 'Range Dynamics' 40gr TMJ fodder - also a lower cost option to CCI and other 'name' brands. 22WMR is a very fun round to shoot, but yes, it is NOT cheap plinking.
