When you need a compact, accurate rimfire platform with tactical flexibility, few handguns combine controllability and up‑gradability as effectively as this class of magnum rimfire pistols. Built for target work, small-game hunting, and defensive pest control, the right .22 Magnum design can be both fun to shoot and highly practical in the field.

WALTHER WMP is Walther’s premier tactical magnum rimfire handgun. Chambered for the more powerful .22 Winchester Magnum cartridge, the WMP delivers increased ballistic performance while remaining easy to shoot—an attractive balance for target shooters, hunters, and property owners seeking pest defense. The pistol ships optics ready and with a threaded barrel to enable immediate customization out of the box. This all-black model includes two 10-round magazines and carries a street price of $501.99.

Core features and tactical advantages

The WALTHER WMP is built on a Semi Auto platform from Walther, a brand known for ergonomic controls and reliable trigger work. Key features to note:

• Caliber: .22 Winchester Magnum — offers higher velocity and energy than standard .22 LR for flatter trajectories at typical engagement ranges.
• Optics ready — allows quick mounting of red dots or micro‑sights for faster target acquisition without gunsmithing.
• Threaded barrel — accepts muzzle devices or suppressors (where legal), expanding off‑the‑shelf customization options.
• Two 10‑round magazines — practical capacity while remaining compact for carry or range use.
• All‑black finish — low‑glare tactical appearance suited to outdoor and professional environments.

For shooters focused on precision, the combination of a magnum rimfire cartridge and an optics‑ready slide means you can pair the WMP with a micro red dot and exploit the .22 WMR’s extended effective range for engaging small targets cleanly.

Customization and use cases

The threaded barrel and optics‑ready top end are the most practical features for users who plan upgrades. Add a low‑profile suppressor or compensator to manage blast and recoil, then mount a 1x red dot for rapid target transitions. Hunters will appreciate the .22 WMR’s better terminal performance on small game compared to .22 LR, while landowners will value a controllable, effective option for pest defense.
