Built in Germany by Carl Walther and imported by Umarex USA, this .22 LR Government Model carries licensed Colt branding and Government Model slide legends, including the rampant Colt logo. The markings also include German proof and inspection stamps "DE" and "BD" alongside clear import and manufacturer lines.
The pistol uses a simple blowback system with a fixed 5-inch barrel, paired with a single-action-only trigger. Controls mirror a full-size 1911, including a manual thumb safety and grip safety, making it a familiar platform for 1911 users.
GI-style fixed sights keep the sight picture classic and straightforward, with a front blade and rear notch. The slide wears rear vertical serrations for handling, and the pistol retains a GI-style spur hammer.
Dimensions remain full-size: approximately 8.7 inches in overall length, 5.5 inches in height, and 1.4 inches in width. Weight is approximately 32–34 ounces, with a 10+1 capacity in .22 LR. The matte dark finish on both slide and frame complements the traditional checkered diamond-pattern grip panels.
