Walther P22 CA Compliant 22LR 10+1 3.42" Black Polymer Frame

The Walther P22 CA Compliant delivers reliable rimfire performance in a compact platform designed for California's strict regulations. This 22 LR pistol combines German engineering with practical features that make it suitable for training, plinking, and small game hunting. The 10-round magazine capacity and 3.42-inch barrel provide an optimal balance of accuracy and portability.

What Makes This Different

The P22's Tenifer-finished steel slide offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard blued finishes, extending service life in humid conditions. The serrated slide design provides secure manipulation even with wet hands. Unlike many rimfire pistols that use aluminum slides, the steel construction handles repeated cycling more reliably over thousands of rounds.

Key Features

• Tenifer-coated steel slide with serrated grip surfaces for reliable manipulation
• Integrated Picatinny rail accommodates lights, lasers, and tactical accessories
• Interchangeable backstrap system allows customization for different hand sizes
• Ambidextrous magazine release and safety for left and right-handed shooters
• Fixed front sight and adjustable rear sight for precise shot placement
• California compliant 10-round magazine capacity meets state regulations
• Polymer frame construction reduces overall weight to approximately 17 ounces

The 3.42-inch barrel length provides sufficient velocity for 22 LR ammunition while maintaining compact dimensions suitable for training applications. The pistol functions reliably with both standard velocity and high-velocity 22 LR loads. The external safety and decocker allow safe handling during training exercises, making it appropriate for new shooters learning fundamental marksmanship skills.
