The Walker combines an 8-round .22 LR capacity with a compact frame and a 2-inch barrel, offering a straightforward defensive or utility rimfire revolver layout. Its double-action-only system with an enclosed hammer provides a snag-resistant profile, while the Charter-style left-side push-forward cylinder latch delivers familiar, efficient operation.
Sight regulation is simple and durable with a fixed serrated ramp front and a rear top-strap groove. An integral under-barrel lug/shroud houses a recessed, short-throw ejector rod, providing protection and a clean, balanced front end.
The finish presents a matte black/charcoal frame paired with a matte dark gray cylinder for low-glare practicality. A compact black rubber boot grip with finger grooves and a Charter Arms medallion offers a secure, hand-filling hold on a small-frame rimfire.
Factory markings include "CHARTER ARMS SHELTON, CT MADE IN USA" and "The Walker 22 LR" on the barrel. The right side of the frame carries a decorative "Fine American Firearms – Charter Arms – Since 1964" emblem, highlighting the model’s lineage and U.S. manufacture.
