Filmed at the Little River rifle range facing the You Yangs, an SSAA branch. We were firing at paper targets on metal frames 100 metres (110 yards) from the shooting position.

The diminutive Walther P22 .22 pistol is a fun plinker and I consider it a good choice as a recreational pistol. Shooters with small hands will appreciate its ergonomics, easily accessed controls, ease of loading (both mags and slide racking), and smaller grip.
