I have the opportunity to shoot a buddy's Walther WMP. I am sort of a .22 Mag junkie so the opportunity to fire one made a trip to the range even better. Lucky for me I was sighting in a S&W 648 and had plenty of ammo. The WMP had a Holosight 507K red dot sight mounted on it. My buddy sighted it in with CCI Maxi-Mags 40 grain JHP's.
After some tweeking, the Holosight was dead on. I fired several 5 shot groups with it. And all together we shot 75 rounds of ammo, 4 different loads. 100% reliable, NO FTF or FTE.... Accuracy was excellent. I have a feeling I will be buying one of these in the near future !!
CCI Maxi-Mag 40 gr JHP 15 yards 10 shots...two five shot groups. Adjustment after first 5 shots....
Hornady Critical Defense 45 Gr FTX 10 shot 15 yards standing

Nice shooting. Not having shot that gun or caliber (least not that I can recall). Is there much recoil in that configuration? I can't imagine there would be. Makes me also wonder how quickly you can get back on target with it.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Thank you......It is a full size gun with a 4.5" barrel and holds 15 + 1 with an empty weight of around 28 oz. It has a slight snap to it but very controllable and fast back on target for follow up shots.....

OK......
I bought one 😀 2nd range report next week !!!
I have just read two articles on the WMP in two of the gun magazines I subscribe to. Since, like you, I have had a long love affair with the 22 Mag those articles kinda got that burning yearning going on way down deep inside us when we just gotta * a new gun!!!
Your range report iced the cake. After reading those articles I wanted a WMP. Your report and pics moved me from an I want a WMP to an I NEED a WMP!!
Looking forward to your next range report!!
The only question is how do I slide the purchase of another gun past Hot Momma??? 😁

Tell her “it’s for you, honey”.
Tell her you are keeping for a friend
Hot Momma is truly hot. I know there are plenty of women that hot and stupid go hand in hand. The only stupid thing Hot Momma ever did was marry me!!! 😁
I am a blessed man.....my Bride told me to go buy it !!!
