Walther Arms Wmp Wal 5220302 22M 4.5 Fullsize Opt Rdy 10Rd
The Walther Arms WMP is a full-size .22 WMR pistol built for shooters who want precision without the recoil—ideal for plinking, small-game hunting, training, and competitions where accuracy matters and follow-up shots matter more. At 4.5 inches, this barrel strikes a balance between velocity and handling, while the aluminum slide and polymer frame keep the gun light at just 27.8 ounces. The WMP comes optics-ready from the factory, so you can mount a red dot or small scope right out of the box and start running it equipped the way modern pistol shooting demands.
What sets this Walther apart is its thoughtful execution at this price point. The adjustable white 3-dot sights are a solid fallback, but the included optic mounting plates let you go the glass route without hunting for adapters. Ten-round magazines hit the sweet spot for most shooting scenarios—two come in the box—and the 4.5-pound trigger break is smooth and predictable. Three-dot safety configuration keeps it accessible to shooters from any background.
Whether you're zeroing fundamentals on a budget, introducing someone to centerfire pistol shooting, or building a dedicated rimfire competition gun, the WMP delivers honest reliability and practical features without gimmicks. The .22 WMR gives you enough terminal energy for small predators and varmints while staying supple enough for high-volume range days. If you're looking for a full-size rimfire pistol that's optics-ready and won't drain your wallet, this Walther deserves a hard look.
