The Charter Arms The Walker is a compact double-action-only revolver chambered in .22 WMR. It has a 2-inch barrel and an 8-round cylinder, finished in black for everyday carry. The small frame keeps the gun light and easy to conceal, and every trigger pull runs the same double-action stroke from first shot to last.

Detailed Features 

• Double-action-only operation means every trigger pull is the same weight, with no separate single-action cocking step to manage. 
• The 2-inch barrel and compact cylinder keep the revolver small enough for pocket, ankle, or nightstand carry. 
• The 8-round .22 WMR cylinder gives extra capacity in a small-frame revolver body. 
• The black finish covers the frame and cylinder for a low-profile, everyday-carry look. 
• The .22 WMR chambering keeps recoil light, which suits owners who want a simple, low-fuss backup gun.

Small-frame revolvers from Charter Arms, including the Walker, have a mixed reputation for fit and finish among owners: many find them functional and dependable for the price, while others note the trigger pull can feel gritty compared to bigger-name double-action revolvers until it breaks in.

The compact size that makes the Walker easy to carry also makes it less comfortable to shoot for extended range sessions, since the short grip leaves little room for larger hands. Owners who buy it specifically as a carry or backup gun tend to be satisfied with how easily it disappears in a pocket or ankle holster.

On value, the .22 WMR chambering appeals to owners who want a lightweight carry revolver with less recoil than a centerfire snub, and practice ammunition costs less than most defensive calibers. Aftermarket grips and holsters for Charter Arms small frames are less plentiful than for Smith & Wesson or Ruger, which some owners see as the main drawback.
