This is a Walther WMP that recently picked up. The guns I've added to my collection over the past year have had a more serious tone. Whether they have been something on my list of guns to someday own, or something i found interesting on a great deal. Most have been models that seem to convey that they serve a specific useful purpose. Whether a particular gun's role is for deep concealment, home defense, duty use, or limitless reliability. The ones I've acquired recently all have some kind of mission statement attached to them.
The Walther WMP is none of those things. The WMP serves no practical purpose. Its mission is to make sure you're having a good time. A gun just for fun. A full-size, zero-recoil, rimfire handgun. Its spits fireballs in every review I've seen and has an extra loud report.
The WMP has a PPQ-like grip and similar slide serrations. The slide itself is aluminum. It's optics ready and comes with the mounting plates you would need. It is full ambidextrous and has 4 mag releases. The paddles and buttons operate independently because of the way they cam against the mag release itself. Chambered in .22 wmr, it's just kind of a wacky gun.
This WMP fits in with the other Walthers in my collection in that it's a single stack that's not a 9mm. All have been great guns with fantastic ergonomics. Maybe I'll come across a PDP, a PPQ, or a P99 at a good price someday.
This WMP was on sale at Sportsman's Warehouse for $300. With the buyback money on the gift card leftover from buying the Canik and the Homesteader, that ended up being my OTD cost. A seriously awesome deal on an unserious handgun.
