Description
There’s something undeniably special about the Walther P5 chambered in .22 LR. Maybe it’s the way this sleek little pistol balances classic West German engineering with the easygoing nature of a rimfire cartridge—or perhaps it’s just that perfect blend of form, function, and collectability that keeps people talking.
Let’s be honest—when most folks think of the P5, they picture the 9mm version, built for duty and serious work. But this one? This rare .22 LR variant is a different beast entirely. It still has that unmistakable Walther silhouette, but now it’s paired with soft recoil, low-cost shooting, and a whole lot of fun at the range. It’s a serious firearm, sure—but it doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Shooters will appreciate the DA/SA trigger, with its smooth pull and crisp reset—features that Walther perfected long ago. The ambidextrous mag release is a thoughtful touch (especially for lefties), and the ergonomics? Spot-on. That grip melts into your hand.
But here’s the kicker: this particular P5 was made in West Germany. That’s not just rare—it’s collector-grade. You’re holding a slice of Cold War-era craftsmanship, from a time when every part was built with patience and pride.
Whether you’re a seasoned Walther collector or just someone who appreciates a rimfire pistol with old-school charm, this P5 is more than a range toy—it’s a piece of history that still runs like a dream.
