In the EDC defensive handgun world, there is an obsession with the 9mm round. Much of it is justified because of the performance of this excellent round. Yet the fact is that there are people, for a variety of reasons, who simply can’t manage a pistol chambered in 9mm. This is where my mantra of any gun is better than no gun ” comes from. Enter the 22 revolver. While many may dismiss the 22, I have yet to find anyone willing to let me shoot them in the leg with one. A company that embraces “guns to fit anyone” is Charter Arms. This was on full display when they released their new Walker Series of ultra-compact revolvers.
Walker Series – Compact EDC
The Walker is an ultra-compact, rimfire revolver designed for concealed carry. It is available with either a .22 LR or .22 WMR chambering; both have eight-round capacities. “We couldn’t be happier to offer this .22 caliber revolver series,” said Nick Ecker, Owner, President, and CEO of Charter Arms. “Customers have praised its concealability, accuracy, and design.
