Charter Arms 12311 The Walker 22Mag 2" 8 Blk

The Charter Arms Walker is a compact .22 Mag revolver built for shooters who need a lightweight, easily concealable handgun without sacrificing capacity. At just 15 ounces and 6.25 inches overall length, this eight-shot revolver fits naturally into pocket carry, ankle holster, or backup gun roles. The aluminum frame keeps weight down while the fixed sights and concealed hammer design make it snag-free for draw from tight spaces. It's the kind of gun that works equally well for a hiker carrying protection on the trail or a shooter looking for a dependable deep-carry option.

Charter Arms engineered the Walker around practical, no-nonsense features. The small aluminum frame is sized for shooters who value manageability and speed of handling over magnum power—.22 Mag delivers reliable performance out of a short barrel with minimal recoil, making follow-up shots fast and accurate. The black anodized finish on the frame and black passivate on the components resist corrosion in field conditions. That eight-round capacity in such a diminutive package is rare; most compact revolvers give you five or six shots. Rubber grips are designed for the smaller hands or those who simply prefer a compact grip profile.

This isn't a target gun or a primary duty revolver—it's a specialized carry piece. The fixed sights are combat-ready and proven, the 2-inch barrel is optimized for close-quarters performance, and the gun's modest footprint makes it disappear in a waistband or pack. If you're building a versatile carry rotation or need a lightweight backup that won't wear you down over a long day afield, the Walker deserves a look.
