Overview
The Walther CSP Classic is a .22 LR rimfire semi-automatic sport pistol introduced in 2023 as part of Walther's CSP (Classic Sport Pistol) family. It pairs a Tenifer-treated steel frame with 1911-style Caucasian walnut grip panels, a non-adjustable mechanical match trigger, a fixed front sight and click-adjustable rear sight.
