M&P 22

[SoCalSig1911]

i get to pick it up tommorow , i looked at it tuesday and mine does not say CA on the slide either, it felt great and had a good finish, but ill have more info on it tommorow when i pick it up

It's gonna be a long night!

[ZachT951]

after a long awaited night i finally have it, its a great little gun, it feels really comfortable and solid, its a decently sized 22 as well, im a pretty big guy and this gun fits my hand just right, ill write up a full review later on today, and may possibly take it out tommorow, only thing is that the place i got it from didnt have any mags in stock so ive only got one, ill compare it to the 2 other 22's that i have which are the GSG 1911 and the Sig Mosquito

Don't forget to take the tools with you to the range.. My front sight needed a little adjusting. Once you loosen the set screw it moves freely.

How do the M&P22 magazines compare in size to their full-sized brothers? e.g. will they fit properly in the same magazine carriers?

If it wasn't mandated to have the thumb safety on the M&P22 vs. a full-caliber M&P, this would make a nice training piece. Minor difference, I know, but enough that you'd likely need holsters specific to accommodate the thumb safety (pretty sure my full-sized Raven is not interchangeable with the thumb-safety equipped pistols).

Will a no-thumb safety version come to the US? Who knows... if one did show up, I'd be first in line!

I'm sure this is a fun pistol regardless. Glad to hear it's not too picky with ammo. Happy shooting!

It is suppose to be marked CA on the slide.

If it doesn't check to see if you have a threaded barrel.
Because you may have gotten a non-approved version and the non-approved versions are considered assault weapons under CA laws [PC 30515(a)(4)(A)].

This happens every now and then when a handgun gets placed on the Roster and in the rush to sell them, some CA FFL dealers will sell the non-approved version thinking it applies.
Examples... Glock 21SF with ambi-mag release & Kahr Arms P-380.

So, if you get a non-approved version.
Immediately remove the threaded barrel and make it CA compliant.

The M&P22 magazine is thinner than the centerfire M&P pistol magazine.

The manual thumb safety is required because it is a single-action only pistol that uses an internal hammer hidden under the slide.

Sku number for the Ca model is 122002

Well the dealer i got it from said that it was on the list and was on the CA approved handgun list, with the serial number thats on the gun, afterall the DOJ says what handguns are legal, if it comes to that it would be considered an AW I will just use some JB Weld and red loctite,( or blue which ever one is permanent) would this be sufficient? I can always tack weld if necessary

Picking mine up in 30 mins

[ZachT951]

^ dude youll love it ive messed with mine like everyday since i got it

[mc21]

Just got it, took it apart, cleaned, oiled and greased. Will be shooting it at the range later. Also, no CA engraved/written on my slide. Took me a while to realize that you don't have the slide locked open when taking it apart. Oops. =\

[ZachT951]

nice, how are you liking it so far? yeah it sounds like a whole lot of people have the same model, i havent taken mine apart yet but have read the manual, im waiting until i pick up my GP100 so that i can test both handguns when i go shooting next time

[SoCalSig1911]

^ dude youll love it ive messed with mine like everyday since i got it

Yep me too!! Just put a Viridian Green C5 laser on it! Gonna zero that in at the range this weekend.. Love how the 22 has an expensive laser on the rail and my custom Sig 1911 has a cheapo sightmark red laser on it.lol. I really like the M&P22!

[ZachT951]

^hahahaha yeah well the better product usually goes on the gun that is used most, when i take it out ill do a full report on ammo, how it functions, any FTF/FTE's, wear, appeal to others, recoil, use,accuracy, and reliability and anything else that i come across, im really looking forward to shooting this and comparing to the GSG1911 & the SIG MOSQUITO, i dont have the walther but i have shot one and it felt great and i ran about 100 rounds with 0 problems of any kind, anywho im rambling on but ill post up my finding and results

[mc21]

Quick break down

PROS:

1. Works. Only 1 fail to feed out of 500 and I think that was actually the ammo/magazine's fault.
2. Pretty accurate. I was hitting at 50 feet pretty easily. Spread was maybe 4-6".
3. Full size, I hate how the other ones like SR22 and P22 are so tiny.
4. Repeating number 1. Reliable.

CONS:
1. Slide is still light and feels like a toy every time I rack it.
2. I actually got bored of shooting today.... Never happened before... I think it had to do with less recoil and the fact that I shot 500 rounds in an hour?
