M&P 22

[cc12floz]

curious..how do you know if a gun "hates" froglube?

I had "seasoned" it with froglube and tested it out at the range. Numerous failure to feeds, a few every mag or so. Took it back home and recleaned it with some CLP and it functioned much better with CLP.

Also...I think frogs and Mountain Eagles are bitter rivals in the mountains

Picked up my M&P22 from ASC last night. cleaned and Frog Lubed it and shot it this morning. I'm not a great shot so I was pretty happy with my best target of the day. (7 yards for both.) Second target was a game of 301 with a few modified rules on the last two rounds.

Shot about 130 rounds of CCI Mini-Mag, 36 grain HP without any issues or failures to feed. I used the liquid Frog Lube and not the paste.

Awesome! Thanks for the info!

Just picked mine up today. Going to clean/lube and have a range report ready. Feels very nice, grip is larger than I expected. Not a problem, just large.

Pick-up Day! I arrived at the range armed with 3 boxes of ammo, an oily wipe and a bore-snake. I found the M&P to be fully packed in goo resembling Vaseline(R)(C)(tm).

I gave the new gun a quick wipedown, two pulls of the boresnake and a lube with Hoppes' 9. I could not get all the goop out at the range.

Mini-mags 40gr: 100/100
Not one problem.

Federal 36gr Blue Box Bulk: 97/100
Three failures to extract. I attribute it to the goo.

Winchester M*22 40gr: 97ish-99ish/100
Three failures to fire. There were good strike marks on the rim of all three cartridges. Two fired when run through again. One refused to fire even after a third strike. I blame the ammo.

Accuracy? Better than me.
Fit & Feel? Just exactly like my M&P9! Comfortable. I think it weighs the same.
Accessories? Only one magazine (booooo)
Sights? More adjustable than the M&P9 but less visible.
Overall? I am very happy with this one, it will accompany me to the range a lot.

A friend and I picked up our M&P22's last week and sent a few hundred rounds downrange through each gun and 6 different magazines.

Ammo used was CCI min-mags , CCI pistol target lead bullet ammo, and Remington .22 JHP bulk pack. Had zero function problems with any of this ammo. CCI target ammo was noticeably more accurate. I will shoot for groups next trip.

Fit, finish, and ergonomics are similar to all the other M&P's 9mm and .22's I have handled. Only gripe was the "mushy" operation of the safety; it was stiff and does not have a positive "click" for on- and off-safe.

Sights could be taller but were easily adjusted and not far off to begin with. I will probably replace them with something more visible in the future.

In general, a great addition to the arsenal for training and .22 competition.

Thanks for the thread. Good read. I put one on layaway yesterday at Ammo Bro's in Ontario. They had one left.

Still waiting on my Turner's pre-order... sigh.

Called them a few times these past two weeks, and we may be looking at early November. So much for "Pre-order for October arrival...".

For anyone needing mags for your M&P 22...$23.88!

I've had problems with the Winchester as well. The first time I tried it I had two fte in the first 10-15 shots and then a fte which resulted in stuck brass in my barrel. The second time, less than ten shots and stuck brass. I had to use a cleaning rod to push it out and it was tight.

My M&P22 did not like Winchester. The second range trip, it spit out CCI Mini-Mags just fine before choking on the Winchester.

Hi everyone just wanted to update my experience with other ammo.

I just came back from a range trip with the M&P 22 and I shot Remington golden bullet, Winchester 333 bulk, Winchester super-x 1330 FPS, Winchester super-x 1650, Federal Auto Match Target bulk 325 bulk, CCI Stinger, CCI Blazer, and CCI Minimag.

All of the ammo I shot except for the Winchester performed flawlessly. I had multiple failure to fire from the Winchester regardless of which type I fired. At one point I had 3 failure to fires in a row. At first I thought it was the gun but I checked out the bullets and they all had solid hits on the rims. I guess my gun has something against the Winchester because I had absolutely zero failures with all of the other listed ammo(450 rounds total).

I'd like to hear if anyone has had success with the Winchester ammo through their M&P. Also lets hear some more ammo reports with this gun.

Just put mine in jail today! It was the floor model. I hope it isn't too beat up.

Been calling Turner's these past weeks since they're release is due for October.

It is November now.

I can't cancel because the fee is about $133~.

FML.

Did they issue you a serial number? Someone correct me if I'm wrong but you can cancel as long as they have not issued you a serial number for the gun.
