    CCI Stinger is the best, IMO after trying practically all the various ammo.

      I shot about 200 rnds of Federal Bulk 325 36gr plated HP's through my M&P 22 last night with no issues (aside from billowing clouds of smoke). So far my M&P has done well with everything I've shot in it from Remington bulk 36gr HP Golden Bullets to CCI Stingers.

      I try to shoot CCI Minimags both 36 gr HP and 40 gr RN, but with the crazy .22lr shortage I'll shoot pretty much whatever I can find. Sure am glad that the M&P 22 isn't finicky with ammo!

        So I shot 50-70 rounds of each and both CCI ammo were flawless. With the Winchester I had 3 FTF's which wasn't bad considering I put through about 70 rounds of it. I lost count due to shooting my XD 45 as well. But I'm pretty happy with the M&P 22. It feels great and I love that I can have some trigger practice for cheap(er) compared to my 9mm and 45acp. As for accuracy, I'm not the greatest shot, hence the need to practice, but some of my groups were within 2" and others about 6" lol. I'm getting better tho.

          [QUOTE=Jon0807;10462371] My only gripe is this thing was LOADED with grease! Especially in the take down lever part. I couldn't believe it. When I pulled out the guide rod, there was a big glop of it that came out with it. I tried to get as much as I could out but there's still tons left. Was all that really necessary?!?

          I just got one last week and I finally got around to taking it apart and cleaning it. I was expecting it to be packed full of grease but it wasn't. Just a light coat. Cleaned it out, applied the FrogLube and it's ready to go.

            Well that's odd. I did grab the display model but I don't think the lgs would pack so much grease in it

              Mine was fresh from the box, my LGS is a kitchen table dealer and let me open it for the first time. It was packed full of grease. Every other one I have heard of has been full of grease unless the shop cleaned it for the display case.

                Mine is likely a display gun then. I got it on sale at Turner's and when the salesman checked his computer to see if there were any left in the warehouse it showed one. He said another store could be trying to sell that gun at the same time so he pulled the display and put it aside in case someone else got the other gun. It didn't occur to me to check which serial number went on the DROS. When I picked mine up it came with more paperwork showing a serial number change but all said and done I don't know which gun I received.

                  Picked up my M&P .22 recently. Shot it for the first time Sunday. Shot high and to the left 3-4" first five. Was able to adjust elevation, but not windage. So it still shoots to the left. Couldn't budge the screw. Looks like loctite was used on the screw. Guys at Oak Tree suggested I call S&W because this seems to be a common problem they're seeing. Tried to call today, but couldn't get through. Will try again tomorrow.

                    I just broke mine in this morning. The windage was perfect but the elevation was off. Rounds were hitting roughly 2" high. It took six counterclockwise clicks to get the elevation in the zone.

                    Also got to shoot my buddy's brand new S&W Airweight .38 spl and the guy in the lane next to me offered to let me shoot his S&W M&P .45 (thanks Chris). Both were really nice to shoot even though the Airweight had about a 12lb trigger. I think I'm going to buy an M&P .45 very soon.

                      I HATE when this happens. I ended up getting a display Ruger 10/22 from Big 5, and a Sig at Turner's the exact same way...

                        Combination Trigger Lock? Any Suggestions? Please.

                        Ok, I picked up my M&P 22LR CA on Monday and the lock that came with it was not to my liking. It felt like it was scratches Waiting to happen. I purchased the Masterlock 94DSPT which fits lovely as long as its not in the case. If placed in its stock case its almost impossible to reopen the case. I had to basically sit on it to open it. Anyone purchased a Combination Trigger Lock that fits inside the stock S&W case?

                          Just purchased my M&P CA 22lr.... looking for another magazine (something that's not $100 on E-bay). Any suggestions on where to look?

                              My M&P22 shoot high, with the stock sight, should I turn clockwise or counter clockwise?

                                Clockwise to lower it.
