I have that same exact gun shoots amazing
Yours seems to be a little different than mine. Was it made by Walther? I have really enjoyed shooting mine even though it has a rather firm trigger.
The blue grips in the picture are from a Colt Competition Series pistol.

I’ve started shooting my GSG 1911/.22 again. I forget how reliable and accurate that thing is. Great training tool.

If I do I'll be contacting Walther since they are the ones who actually made it.

The gun is made by Umarex. They are solid fun shooters.
OP
Walther takes a Umerax blank gun and converts it into a 22LR. Umerax and Walther IIRC share a facility in Germany. They may be serviced by Walther but the “gun” is a Umerax worked over by Walther then then shipped by Umerax to Colt for boxing and shipping to distributors.Nope:

I am not trying to rain on your parade but it is what it is. Colt and Walther market it as if it is made from the ground up by Walther but it’s not.

I am also in no way saying this is not a good gun. It is. I also agree 100% being able to send it to Walther if there is ever a need for warranty work is a plus. The only thing I have ever heard going wrong with these is the firing in breaking which is an easy fix if they just send you the part.
