Description
The Walther WMP OR Pistol .22 WMR 15rd Black (2 Mags) is a serious rimfire handgun built for recreational shooting and outdoor use. Chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, this semi-auto pistol gives you noticeably more punch than a .22 LR while keeping ammo costs low and recoil light. It ships with two 15-round magazines and a full set of optic adapter plates, so you can mount your favorite red dot right out of the box.

Key Features
- Optic-Ready Aluminum Slide – Comes with multiple adapter plates for popular red-dot footprints. Why it matters: you can set up a precise, fast-acquisition sight system without sending the slide to a machine shop.
- Quad Release Magazine System – Ambidextrous controls let you drop the mag from either side, plus a paddle release on the trigger guard. Why it matters: makes reloads intuitive for lefties, righties, and shooters with smaller hands.
- Picatinny Dustcover Rail – Full-length rail under the barrel accepts lights, lasers, or a bipod. Why it matters: turns the WMP into a versatile night-varmint or trail gun in seconds.
- Two 15-Round Magazines Included – You get a spare right in the box. Why it matters: less downtime at the range, and the .22 WMR round gives you reliable expansion on small game and pests.
Who It’s For
This pistol is for the shooter who wants a rimfire handgun that hits harder than a .22 LR but still costs pennies per trigger pull. It’s a great fit for new gun owners looking for a low-recoil training platform that can double as a small-game getter. Experienced shooters will appreciate the optic-ready design and the Quad Release system for fast, ambidextrous handling.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: .22 WMR delivers 40% more muzzle energy than .22 LR, making it effective on raccoons, coyotes, and steel targets out to 100 yards.
- Pro: The aluminum slide keeps the pistol light at 22.5 oz, easy to carry in a hip pack or chest holster during hikes.
- Con: .22 WMR ammo is less common than .22 LR at big-box stores, so you may want to stock up online.

FAQ
Can I mount a red dot without buying extra parts?
Yes. The Walther WMP OR comes with multiple adapter plates in the box to fit popular red-dot footprints like Shield RMSc, Docter/Noblex, and others. You just need the optic itself.
Is the .22 WMR loud compared to a .22 LR?
Yes, it’s noticeably louder — about 140 dB vs 130 dB for .22 LR. Still manageable outdoors without earplugs for short strings, but I’d recommend hearing protection for extended sessions.
Does the Quad Release work for left-handed shooters?
Absolutely. The system includes a button release on both sides of the frame plus a paddle on the trigger guard. Lefties can drop the mag with their trigger finger without changing grip.
Will this pistol cycle all .22 WMR ammo reliably?
Per Walther specs, the WMP is tuned for standard-velocity .22 WMR (around 1,400 fps). High-velocity rounds like CCI Maxi-Mag cycle fine. Avoid subsonic loads, as they may not generate enough gas to cycle the slide fully.
