The Walther WMP Pistol in .22 Magnum

Good. It’s nice to see someone has come out with a .22 magnum pistol that’s reliable. I dumped my KelTec because I couldn’t make it go more than a magazine without a FTF/FTE. I wrote them and suggested that they reengineer the magazine to be aluminum rather than polymer, and they ignored me.
This one is polymer coated on the outside, but aluminum in the inside. Also, I had found one link which suggested that the pistol was striker fired in spite of what he said in the video. But TFB confirms with confidence that it’s a hammer fired gun. The hammer is a bit hidden but the pictures are good.
That checks the other box for me. I don’t shoot striker fired guns.
Finally, I like the availability. I hate to read about a new firearm and then find that nothing is available and no one knows when there will be.

I have one of the Rock Island 1911s in 22mag. It has some differences from a true 1911. The slide is skeleton, like a Beretta 92. But I have never had a failure with mine. A fun gun to shoot.

Being an observant dumb a$$ I noticed the inconsistent muzzle flashes even within the firing of the same the same round of each magazine demonstrated. Is anyone able to explain this observation? Thank you.
