Honest Outlaw's Chris reviews the '7 Worst Guns of 2025', highlighting significant design flaws and reliability issues in several new releases. The Staccato HD P4 faced criticism for ergonomics and trigger, while the KelTec PR57 was panned for poor construction. The Canik TTI Combat Smoke suffered malfunctions, and the PSA PS-15 proved unreliable. Budget options like the Derya DY9 were deemed low quality, and new Glock 17V/19V models removed optics cuts and had reliability problems. The Walther WMP SD took the top spot for its 'wonky' design and poor reliability.
This review highlights seven firearms from 2025 that failed to meet expectations, ranging from the Keltec PR57's inconvenient loading to the Sig P320's ongoing safety concerns. Criticisms include poor quality control, ineffective design choices, and significant reliability issues, even on seemingly premium models like the Benelli M4 Gen 2. The video emphasizes the importance of informed purchasing decisions based on real-world performance and potential flaws.
The Walther WMP SD (Gen 2) in .22 Magnum shows potential with its 15-round capacity and optics-ready design, but suffers from significant reliability and control issues. Problems included slide release and magazine seating difficulties, a drifting rear sight, and over-engineered controls. The reviewer recommends Walther's PDP or PPQ models for serious use over this particular firearm.
While not ideal due to lower energy, .22 Magnum is a viable self-defense option, especially for recoil-sensitive individuals. Modern firearms like the Walther WMP offer high capacity (15+ rounds), and advancements in ammunition provide better expansion. Its reduced risk of over-penetration in apartment settings and ease of suppression are significant advantages for home defense.
The Walther WMP SD chambered in .22 Magnum offers a unique suppressed shooting experience with minimal recoil, making it suitable for recoil-sensitive shooters and home defense. Despite its rimfire caliber, its large frame rivals .45 ACP pistols, and it boasts a versatile Quad-Release magazine system and optics-ready slide. Testing revealed potential gas blowback with cheaper ammunition when suppressed, highlighting the importance of quality defensive rounds.
