M&P 22

[mann0mann]

I finally got mine in hand after a pretty long screwy fiasco with the threaded barrel issue.

Put a 100 rounds of CCI mini-mags through it immediately at an indoor range.

Initial thoughts - I feel like my GSG 1911 has tighter groups, but I would imagine that comes from a heavier gun, maybe the barrel is a little longer too? I am deadly with that GSG.

Out of the box, the M&P was shooting high and to the left for me. I'm sure with those adjustable rear sights it will be a quick fix to adjust. Seems like it was set up for a 6 o'clock hold on the sights actually. Wanted to put some rounds throught it before I did anything and I didn't have a ton of time.

It's a really fun pistol to shoot though. Lots of muzzle flash and decent kick for a .22 as well. I'm really happy and stoked to have it.

M&P 22LR recoil springs

Hi, I have recently purchased the S&W M&P 22LR pistol, the CA approved version. It is a very nice gun, I loved it the same with my Sig Sauer P220 Combat (non-TB). However, I would like to buy some recoil springs for the M&P 22LR to used in the future, but it seems that no where in the world sells them. If anyone know how to buy them, please let me know, thanks alot.

I recently purchased and sprung from jail a Buckmark Camper to satisfy my need for another .22 pistol. The camper was my second choice because I couldn't find an M&P22-CA locally. Then a few days later they were in-stock at the LGS. So I put the M&P on layaway.

I was describing the situation to a free-state friend and he summed it up by saying; "So YOU'RE IN A WAITING PERIOD FOR YOUR WAITING PERIOD!?!?!? HAHAHAHAHA, YOU NEED TO MOVE, DUDE. HAHAHAHAHAH"

...anyway, I am actually looking forward to the day I can start the ten-day wait for the M&P22.

I have the same problem - a waiting period so I can start my ten date wait.

American Shooting Center in San Diego has a M&P22 CA for $380 as of earlier this week.

Was just there yesterday. $389.

Bass Pro in Rancho just got 40 in today but...

They are asking 449.00 for them!

[firebert]

Don't understand how some shops are trying to sell them above retail. Right now it's in stock everywhere. Some even go up to $40 below MSRP.

Just put one in jail this morning. Can't wait!

[NickMc]

Alrighty! Completed twenty-questions, dirty my thumb, fester my weapon with a lock demo. The ten day wait begins!

$450 OTD in Tehachapi.

Anyone have a line on inexpensive magazines?

The first one I bought was 434 OTD. The 2nd one will be 430. 450 isn't bad. I found a couple magazines at the Onterio gun show for 30 each, but the rest we're 35 from various places. When I was in Vegas one of the LGS had 50-60 of the 12 rounders. All at 35 dollars each. I thought about getting a few and blocking them to 10 rounds, but I had already spent too much money.

I'll be getting my 2nd M&P 22 out of jail on the 10th along with a 10-22 takedown.
The first one had to be returned to sender...... it was too evil to keep.

When I inspected this second gun I noticed that it appears the barrel is still threaded but now the cap does not have the detents where you can get a tool on it.

I brought 2 extra mags from 2Afirearmsdealer for $22 about a month ago. That was during the threaded barrel saga. I noticed the magazines been disappearing quickly ever since the legit CA legal M&P22 started shipping out.

Same deal with the Walther P22. Although not suprising, the M&P22 is made by Carl Walther.

I'm picking mine up tomorrow! I bought mags from Midway, only place I could find the 10 rd version in stock. $26.99 there, no tax for CA.

just started my 10day wait for the m&p22 yesterday. It felt great at the store. Can't wait to break it out and take it to the range for a beating!
