Awh, man. That's sick!

[jrara]

Do you think it will be available in California?

WHAT?!

When did this come out?! Holy crap now I have to get one in addition to my Kadet kit.

Edit: I just looked at S&W's website. I can't find this gun in the rimfire products section, or the M&P handguns section. Is this a fake?

I thought you sold your M&P already? I am 100 percents sure it will not be on the DOJ roster.

It is not coming out for another few months. I am pretty sure they will introduce it at the SHOT show next year.

I did sell my M&P, but if I could get one in a rimfire then I would. Only reason I sold mine was because I couldn't shoot it worth a damn. I took out my P-01 and I'm already shooting way better than I ever did with my M&P. I still like the M&P, I know it's an awesome gun, but it just wasn't for me, and I didn't want to keep it for the sake of being loyal to any particular brand.

Also, I know it's probably not gonna make it onto the roster, which sucks. You're LEO right? and you're in OC. I think you should buy two and PPT one to me

According to discussion on the M&P forum, it's not due out until at least April 2011.

I'm kinda bummed it has the thumb safety on it, but oh well. I doubt there is much recourse for a .22LR platform. It'll be interesting to get these single-shot exempted if they are not put on the stupid DOJ roster. The only other downside is that rumor has it that it is not a S&W design per se, but rather a licensed product made by Walther for S&W, which could be unfortunate. If it's built like the Walther P22 is, then quality might suffer.

We'll see when the product is actually out in the wild!

I would think we'd see a .22lr upper offered before they'd submit a whole new gun to be approved...much like the Sig .22lr conversion kit

[plan-b]

I'd go for one of these in a heartbeat. S&W does have a little history in making multiple variants including ones with both LCIs and mag disconnects. If that's the case, all they'd have to do is submit it for drop testing.

I can haz?

[Whatisthis?]

Oh man... that is pretty awesome

[den888]

Very cool - an M&P in .22LR!

We'll just have to wait and see whether it has the reliablilty of a real M&P, or the reliability of a Wather....

There's a big difference between the Umarex and Walther's. My P99's are extremely reliable.

Aw man, whyd you have to go and give me a gun boner
