Description
Charter Arms took their proven small-frame formula and built The Walker around the .22 Long Rifle, and the result is one of the easiest revolvers to live with in their whole catalog. The aluminum frame keeps the whole package at just 15 ounces, and the stainless steel barrel and cylinder give it the durability you want in a gun that gets handled a lot. This version wears a pink anodized frame set against high-polish stainless components, and in person the contrast really pops. It looks like a custom piece straight out of the box.
Eight Rounds in a True Pocket-Size Package
Most small-frame wheelguns give you five or six shots. The Walker fits eight rounds of .22 LR into a cylinder on a gun that measures just 6.25 inches long and 4.25 inches tall. The 2-inch barrel and fixed sights keep things simple and rugged, and the compact rubber grip fills the hand enough to stay controllable without printing under a cover garment. With the light recoil of a .22, follow-up shots come fast and range sessions stay fun instead of punishing.
Why The Walker's Concealed Hammer Matters
This is a double action only revolver with the hammer fully enclosed in the frame. There is nothing to catch on a pocket, purse, or jacket lining on the draw, and the operation could not be more straightforward: pull the trigger, it fires. That simplicity is a big part of why enclosed-hammer snubbies have stayed popular for decades, and it makes The Walker a great fit for newer revolver owners as well.
An American-Made Rimfire From Charter Arms
Every Charter Arms revolver is built in the USA and backed by the company's lifetime warranty, which says a lot about how they stand behind their guns. Cheap, easy-to-find .22 LR ammo means you can practice often without wincing at the register, and low recoil makes this a gun almost anyone in the family can shoot well. Whether it becomes a trail companion, a nightstand gun, or just the revolver that gets the most range time, The Walker earns its keep.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does The Walker have an exposed hammer for single action shooting?
No, The Walker is double action only with the hammer fully concealed inside the frame. Every shot is fired with a single trigger pull, and there is no hammer spur to snag on clothing or a bag. That trade-off is intentional since this model is built with concealment and simplicity in mind.
How heavy is the trigger pull on the Charter Arms Walker?
Since it is double action only, expect a pull in the neighborhood of 10 to 11 pounds, which is typical for rimfire revolvers. Rimfire cartridges need a solid firing pin strike to ignite reliably, so a heavier pull is normal for the category. With a little practice it smooths out and becomes very manageable, especially given the near-zero recoil of .22 LR.
Is the pink finish painted on, and will it hold up over time?
The pink color is an anodized finish on the aluminum frame, not paint, so it is bonded into the metal surface rather than sitting on top of it. Anodizing is quite durable and resists chipping and flaking in normal use. The barrel and cylinder are high-polish stainless steel, which shrugs off corrosion well too.
Is The Walker a good first revolver for a new shooter?
It is a solid choice. The .22 LR chambering means almost no recoil and inexpensive ammo, so practice is cheap and pleasant, and the eight-shot cylinder gives you extra trigger time between reloads. The double action only operation is also about as simple as a handgun gets. Just aim and press the trigger.
