Walther Arms: Iconic Firearms and Modern Rimfire Innovation
Posted by Arms Protection on Sep 15th 2025
For over a century, Walther has stood for precision, innovation, and a shooter-first approach to pistol design. From classic compact carry pistols to competition-ready platforms, Walther’s lineup focuses on ergonomics, trigger quality, and reliable performance — qualities that have made the brand a go-to for hobbyists, competitive shooters, and professionals alike.
Why Walther Matters
Walther blends heritage craftsmanship with modern manufacturing to produce pistols that balance feel and function. Their catalog spans defensive models, competition pistols, and compact carry options, supported by a robust accessory and parts ecosystem. Walther also emphasizes user resources — from product insights to maintenance and training content — helping buyers get the most out of their firearms.
Featured Models & Why They Stand Out
Walther PPK/S .32 ACP — Stainless (Classic Concealment)
The Walther PPK/S in .32 ACP continues the lineage of one of Walther’s most iconic compact pistols. Built for discreet carry and dependable performance, the stainless model blends timeless styling with corrosion resistance and reliable function. If you want a compact, historically significant pistol with modern finish and serviceability, the PPK/S .32ACP is an excellent option.
Walther PPK/S .22 LR — 3.3" (Training & Plinking)
For those who appreciate the PPK/S profile but prefer rimfire affordability for practice, the Walther PPK/S .22 LR with a 3.3" barrel provides a great balance. It retains the classic ergonomics and compact footprint of the PPK family while offering low-cost shooting for training, dry-fire practice, or casual range sessions. This model is ideal for shooters who want familiar controls and handling without the expense of centerfire practice ammo.
Hammerli Force B1 22LR Combo — Versatile Rimfire Platform
The Hammerli Force B1 22LR Combo pairs modern rimfire versatility with competition-capable features. Notable highlights include quick-change barrels for switching between 22LR and 22WMR, an integral Picatinny rail for optics, and a practical 10+1 magazine capacity. Whether you’re introducing new shooters, running precision rimfire drills, or looking for an economical training rifle, this combo brings adaptability and quality to the table.
How to Choose Between These Options
Selecting the right pistol or rimfire platform depends on your goals:
- Concealed carry / historical appeal: The PPK/S .32 ACP delivers classic compact concealability with a timeless design.
- Training & low-cost practice: The PPK/S .22 LR lets you practice familiar ergonomics with inexpensive ammo.
- Rimfire versatility and training rifle: The Hammerli Force B1 combo provides barrel interchangeability and modern rails for optics — a smart choice for serious rimfire work.
Accessories, Support, and Service
Walther supports owners with parts, magazines, holsters, and service resources — making it easier to maintain and upgrade your firearm. Whether you need spare magazines, optics plates, or factory service, the brand’s dealer and service channels are designed to simplify ownership.
Walther remains a brand where legacy design meets modern needs. From compact carry classics like the PPK/S to rimfire platforms that make training accessible, Walther and the featured Hammerli combo each serve distinct shooter priorities. Consider how you train, carry, and what you enjoy shooting most — then pick the model that fits those goals.
