The Walther P22 CA Compliant handgun is engineered to provide consistent, reliable performance in a compact 22 LR platform. This model is specifically designed to meet California compliance standards, offering a proven solution for target practice, plinking, and training applications within restrictive jurisdictions. Its operational design emphasizes user control and accessory integration, establishing a benchmark for its class.
Key Features
Ergonomics & Control
The P22 CA Compliant integrates interchangeable backstraps, allowing operators to optimize grip circumference for enhanced control and comfort across various hand sizes. Ambidextrous magazine release and slide safety levers facilitate intuitive manipulation for both left and and right-handed shooters, promoting operational efficiency and reducing transition time.
Target Acquisition
Equipped with a windage-adjustable rear sight, the P22 allows for precise zeroing to specific ammunition loads, enhancing shot placement accuracy. The front sight is fixed, contributing to a consistent sight picture for rapid target acquisition.
Accessory Integration
A forward integral Picatinny rail provides a standardized interface for mounting tactical lights or laser aiming modules. This feature expands the handgun’s utility, enabling customization for low-light conditions or advanced training scenarios without proprietary attachments.
Operational System
The double-action/single-action (DA/SA) trigger mechanism offers versatility, providing a safe carry option with a longer, heavier first pull and a crisp, lighter single-action pull for subsequent shots. The barrel is permanently threaded and capped, a design feature that prevents removal and ensures compliance, while maintaining reliable projectile stabilization.
Compliance Status
This P22 variant is specifically manufactured to comply with California’s stringent firearm regulations, including its fixed barrel design and 10-round magazine capacity. It provides a compliant option for residents requiring a reliable 22 LR semi-automatic handgun.
