Thoughts on the M&P 15-22

[shooperman]

Thinking of adding one to my collection. Would like to hear from people who own them. Would you recommend it?

[Dattebayo]

I think it is a great gun. It is an awesome training tool if you want to familiarize yourself with the AR platform. It shoots .22LR so the cost is a lot cheaper than shooting .223 or whatever caliber your AR is chambered in.

They are pretty accurate as well, shooting about 1MOA for my M&P 15-22 MOE when I had it.

Aside from that, I personally liked a little more accuracy which is the reason why I sold it. Aside from that, it is great for all the aforementioned reasons.

I haven't shot my Colt 6920 in a couple months...that's because I've been making due w the 15-22. Everything works on it except the forward assist. Shoot 300 rounds w no quilt what so ever.

Been very happy with it in my collection.

I love mine. Just shot it today. Great little 22 that breaks down like a standard AR. It even uses a real AR LPK.

Great gun! Will be called an assault weapon soon.

I picked one up as an understudy for my M4 and I love it. Breaks down almost identically to an AR, mil-spec faux buffer spring tube, working controls (unlike the Colt)... I nailed steel plates at 100 yards with iron sights without even zeroing it, and went through almost 400 rounds of federal the first trip out without a single hiccup.

If you can find ammo to feed it, I highly recommend picking one up.

Nobody

I scoured the private sales board for weeks trying to get a good deal. Every LGS in the LA area told me they were back ordered and had no idea when they would get any in.

I have one and I love it. Occasional malfunctions with Remington Golden Bullet when it gets really dirty. Otherwise just awesome. With factory magazines and Mini-mags, I don't think it would ever malfunction.

Pair it with a Primary Arms red dot and you have the perfect training tool.

The only con is that the M&P 15-22 has proprietary magazines...

I've probably shot over 15,000 rounds through mine and it's still running strong. Very accurate, fun to customize and fun to shoot. If you have the funds go for it! Just use good ammo if you have it. CCI, Federal and Aguila are all good.

I highly recommend it. It's been 100% reliable for 5000 rounds not a single malfunction (including rapid fire)...not sure how this has been possible with a rimfire...I've been running CCI mini mag, standard vel, and federal auto match. I clean it after every outing, but I've also put 500+ rounds through it in a single outing. Accuracy is good out to 50 yards, i shoot about 2 inch groups at 50 yards and i'm not a great shot.

I like shooting my 15-22 almost more than my full size...that is if/when my wife lets me get my hands on it...she's basically claimed the 15-22 as her own rifle she likes it so much (it's her favorite gun in MY/our entire collection)

I have a Plinker Tactical mag that works well too.
