Introduced in 1959, the .22 Winchester Magnum Round or .22 WMR was and still remains a useful round for small game hunting, rodent control, and plinking. The round has also seen a resurgence in new offerings that include self-defense options. And while it wouldn\u2019t be my first choice for home- and self-defense, a pistol chambered in .22 WMR could well be a threat-stopper in the hands of a capable shooter. Walther Arms<\/a> has introduced a pistol that can do all of the above, the Walther WMP, a full-sized, semi-automatic featuring a polymer frame, an ambidextrous slide catch, and an accessory rail under the barrel. It also boasts an impressive 15+1 ammunition capacity. <\/p>\n

I recently put over 250 rounds through a new WMP and came away knowing it was a fine handgun, very accurate, comfortable in hand, and a real pleasure to shoot.<\/p>\n
