The Walther Magnum Pistol (WMP) is a full-size rimfire semi-automatic pistol manufactured by Carl Walther GmbH. Introduced in 2022, the WMP is chambered in the .22 WMR cartridge and uses a fixed-barrel direct blowback system. It is a direct competitor to other .22 WMR semi-automatic handguns on the market, including the Kel-Tec PMR-30 and the Smith & Wesson M&P 22 Magnum.
The WMP takes inspiration from Walther's centerfire pistol designs, particularly the PPQ, PPS and PDP in terms of ergonomics and manual of arms. This makes the WMP suitable for a variety of uses, from training and plinking to small-game hunting and outdoor activities. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
