I don't see a lot of feedback on the M&P 22 hand gun. Does anyone have any experience to relate in using one with a suppressor. It interest me because I own (2) M&P 45 pistols set up the same way with the thumb safety and all. It won't be my only .22 pistol ever but just looking for somewhere to start.
Thanks

I haven't personally used one but several of my customers have and they stand by their recommendation.Fire_Medic wrote:I don't see a lot of feedback on the M&P 22 hand gun.

I will be picking one up soon myself as I think it will be a good companion to my MP9.

Re: S&W M&P 22 pistol?
Thanks for your feedback. Waiting on the LE price from the local LE place. Came across your recommendation of the Beretta 87, but looks like getting it threaded is a PITA and expensive, lol.Bendersquint wrote:I haven't personally used one but several of my customers have and they stand by their recommendation.Fire_Medic wrote:I don't see a lot of feedback on the M&P 22 hand gun.

I still highly recommend the Beretta 87, just difficult to find right now. Thats on my list just below the MP22.Fire_Medic wrote:Thanks for your feedback.

I will keep a look out for one then. Saw one threaded in a pic on Liberty's website and it looks great.

I carry M&P9s so getting a M&P22 was natural. I picked up one a couple of weeks ago and mounted an Outback II on it.
It has been 100% right out of the box, with all sorts of ammos, including some bulk cheap remington from Walliworld.
Great gun, but I had to take off (ditch) the safeties right away. None of my M&Ps have them, and they get in the way of my grip.

What adapter did you get for the barrel to run the can on it? Or did you get a threaded barrel from someone?
Thanks

Re: S&W M&P 22 pistol?
I bought one of the first run guns out....I think it was the second one my FFL had in over a year ago now and it ran 100% with several kinds of ammo and I ran well over 5000 rounds of ammo through mine before I sold it using my Thompson Machine Zephyr XL. The reason it was sold was I could not find magazines anywhere and when the 22/45 Lite came out I saw an opportunity to sell and move to that platform. Would I recommend it.....Hell Yes!!!! Just find magazines first, but I do believe they have finally started to show up.

I just used the Gemtech adapter off my Walther P22. It's the same one and works on both guns.Fire_Medic wrote:Thanks I have (2) M&P 45's with safeties so for me it would all be natural, gonna be picking one up soon.mk23 wrote:I carry M&P9s so getting a M&P22 was natural.

Re: S&W M&P 22 pistol?
magazine availability was the biggest complaint about this firearm on the brianenos forum, where a lot of folks were looking at it as a rimfire trainer for production class. RSR shows 0 magazines in stock, searching on the 12 round part number (SW42251) shows its out of stock almost everywhere (as in everywhere i checked, maybe a local gunstore has some of them tucked away for sale). they look nice but i'd hate to buy one knowing i've only got one magazine for the foreseeable future...
Re: S&W M&P 22 pistol?
Ten round mag is the same mag as the twelve round, with a small spacer installed at the bottom. The 10 rounders I bought, the spacer just lifted out when the mag was taken apart. Presto 12 round mag (do only where legal of course).

Re: S&W M&P 22 pistol?
Love mine, eats everything, wather adaptor and your good to go with most cans.
Re: S&W M&P 22 pistol?
Bought mine about a month ago and it runs just fine with all the cheap ammo. Definitely a fun gun!
