Ultimate Self Defense 22 magnum?!
About this video
Colion reviews the Walther WMP SD, a .22 Magnum handgun designed with a threaded barrel for suppressor use. He breaks down the gun’s ergonomics, trigger quality, and recoil characteristics, then tests it with two different suppressors to evaluate sound suppression and gas blowback. Colion argues this setup could work well for shooters sensitive to recoil who are considering .22 Magnum for home defense or varmint control.
Key takeaways
- Colion explains that .22 Magnum offers noticeably more recoil than .22 LR but remains highly controllable and doesn’t feel ’toy-like’ when shooting
- According to Colion, the WMP features four different magazine release options (dual European-style and traditional American-style) and Walther’s signature ergonomics and trigger quality
- Colion reports that suppressor choice matters significantly—he experienced heavy gas blowback with a larger, more efficient suppressor and cheap ammo, but much better performance with a smaller suppressor and quality ammunition
