Between some buddies and myself, we have all three of these .22 Magnum pistols. We decided it would be interesting to do a shooting test with all three just to see how they stack up. The test I did involved three different .22 Magnum loads, fired at 15 yards off a sandbag rest. All three did well accuracy wise, No FTF or FTE occurred with any of them. The M&P and Walther had red dot sights on them, the Kel-Tec did not....
The following pics were of targets fired by me. It was an interesting day at the range..
The first set of pictures were fired through the Walther WMP..... CCI 40gr Mini-Mags, Hornady 30gr V-Max and Hornady 45gr Critical Defense
The next series of pictures were fired through the S&W M&P CCI 40gr Mini-Mags, Hornady 30gr V-Max and Hornady 45gr Critical Defense
And finally the PMR
The flyer was the first shot of the day....

Great post. That's some fine shooting. Overall none were bad, but give me the walther.
Nice targets Will........
It's been years......but the last time my son and I were shooting pistols, we took my AMT Lightning 6" and S&W 648 6". Good times.........but they sure were loud.
Next time.......we'll add the RI 22TCM Target 6".......which should be even louder.😳
Sounds and looks like a fun day for all good shooting and congrats on the effort to get out and enjoy the day
I can't remember the last time I was just out shooting for fun it was at least before the big covid &%%# hit the USA and interrupted our back yard get togethers
Looks way better than i could manage after a long time out
Sadly i Have to many projects stacked up now to work on shoting but still on my list
Great shooting there Frank! Heck! It takes me most of the day just to put a dozen holes in a single target. Of course, that is shooting one of my muzzle loaders! 😁
Part of that day involves cleaning however.
McCarbo makes a red dot mount that forms a bridge across the receiver allowing the slide to function without the added weight of a red dot on the slide. Installed one on my PMR and functions flawlessly even when doing a mag dump.
Have not yet checked out the Walther, but after seeing your groups. I am impressed.
Thanks all, it was an enjoyable afternoon at the range. I was shooting at an indoor range so you can imagine some of the looks I got firing the .22 Magnum rounds. They were all pretty loud, but the 30gr V-Max also had an especially satisfying fireball to go with it !!
Kel-tec has serious "failure to feed" issues. I did everything I could and finally sold it. Bought the S&W and it is flawless. The Kel-tec has bizarre slide. It is junk! Don't waste your time and $. You get what you pay for.
Thanks, Amigo, I have that walther in my safe.
My pleasure…. They are great shooters !!!!!
The first PMR I owned had to be sent back for service. The barrel was the issue and it was replaced for free. Several thousand rounds since, Only FTF or FTE was due to using non recommended ammo or a faulty magazine.. Both were easily remedied.
I do like the S&W too.
