Each link opens the video at the moment quoted.* > Is so soft to shoot and really putting it in a semi-automatic just gives you more capability. > > — [sootch00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06h_NGP5eTc&t=88s) > Once it drops there's no second strike capability which actually surprises me a lot of times with hammer fired pistols. > > — [sootch00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06h_NGP5eTc&t=602s) > It's not a PPQ break but it's not bad at all it's very crisp and tactile. > > — [sootch00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06h_NGP5eTc&t=629s) > No recoil whatsoever it's just really soft shooting that flame that comes out the end is very satisfying it's just nice but very pointable easy to shoot. > > — [sootch00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06h_NGP5eTc&t=934s) > That's one of the cons is because of this design and this light slide you're going to have to have a fairly light optic on here. > > — [sootch00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06h_NGP5eTc&t=1163s) ## What Customers Say *AI-generated insights from customer reviews* Owners frequently mention the compact size and light weight as the main reasons they chose the WMP, with many describing it as a natural fit for both new and experienced shooters wanting a rimfire option. The 4.5-inch barrel gets credit for consistent accuracy at typical pistol distances, and the striker-fired mechanism's consistent trigger pull is generally appreciated. Ammunition availability is the most common concern, since .22 WMR is harder to source than .22 LR. Ergonomic preferences are split, with most finding it comfortable but some wanting better grip texture. Overall, the sentiment is positive with the main limitation being ammunition supply rather than the pistol itself. ## Pricing **14 offers available** | Vendor | Price | |--------|-------| | Grabagun Com | $369.99 | | Guns Com | $390.99 | | Buds Gun Shop | $418.49 | | Guns Com | $450.99 | | Gritrsports Com | $453.99 | | Impactguns Com | $457.79 | | Kygunco Com | $459.91 | | Centerfiresystems Com | $459.99 | | Selwayarmory Com | $480.49 | | Deguns | $492.99 | *...and 4 more offers* ## Reviews **Average Rating:** 5.0/5 (2 reviews) > **joel** (5/5): When I first took the Walther WMP out to the range, I expected that familiar pop of a .22.
