This P22 is an early production Standard model identifiable by its paddle-style magazine release, ZAMAK alloy slide with steel breech block, and German DE proof marks with AK (2009) date code.
The straight blowback, double-action/single-action system combines an exposed hammer, ambidextrous manual safety, and internal auto-safety, giving users familiar Walther ergonomics with added rimfire economy.
A polymer frame keeps weight low while providing an accessory rail with three cross-slots for lights or lasers. The interchangeable backstrap allows simple fit adjustment.
Front and rear slide serrations, a drift-adjustable front blade, and a screw-adjustable rear notch form a clear 3-dot sight picture, making the pistol easy to run and accurate for its size.
The threaded barrel nut accepts common suppressor adapters, broadening the pistol’s versatility for training or quiet plinking.
