22 wmr long barrel pistols

Birdshot · Mar 23, 2026

Hello people,

I'm curious to know if anyone is aware of any 22 wmr long barrel pistols available....I've searched the web and all I can find is 22lr, I've already got a 22 wmr rifle so it would be nice to find one that uses the same ammo, also do I need to join a club or can I simply shoot targets on my permissions, I've got an open ticket

All pistols were banned in this country after Dunblane.

Long barrel pistols are not banned they come under section 1

I have never seen a .22WMR LBP however it would make sense for a semi automatic as it falls under the .22” rimfire exemption and if you are going to shoot supersonic .22” it may as well be magnum. Good luck with your search.

I’ve handled a Ruger Single Six revolver albeit many years ago.
It had both a 22LR and 22WMR cylinder

There was a a rumour a few years ago that walther were going to be doing a .22wmr lbp for the UK market but nothing ever came from it.

Unless it's sec5 I don't think you'll find one.
I can't imagine any FEO giving you one an open ticket, I'd put money on having it conditioned to club use only.

Long barrel revolvers and long barrel pistols are a work around as their dimensions (300 mm barrel, 600 mm overall length) mean they fall into the rifle category.

I’ve never see an LBP, just an LBR, as above it had .22 LR and .22 WMR, was a Rossi or Taurus I think.

You will need to join a home office approved club & the LBP will be conditioned for target shooting (only) whilst you are a member of that club & can only be shot on suitable ranges. You won’t get one for plinking on your permissions.
