M&P .22 compact?

Recommended Posts

I had the original M&P 22, not the compact. It was a good little gun. Ran well, was accurate enough for shooting steel. I put several thousand rounds through it without any major issues. I do not miss it though. Much happier with my Ruger 22/45 Lite with VQ trigger.

This is an awesome little 22 handgun. It has a nice trigger and adjustable sights and it is made in the USA. If you have a Shield it is a good training handgun. It will not fit in any other M&P holsters, though. It does better with hotter 22s.

I was helping with a class a few weeks ago and a student was shooting one with a Fast Fire dot mounted on it. He was getting almost all of them in the black at 25 yards, so it's a pretty accurate little gun if you do your part.

 

The Ruger SR22 is a good little pistol as well.

I have the S&W M&P-22 compact in Stock - Nice Gun!

 

Not all that small - only about 1/2" shorter bbl & 1" shorter grip (approx. 15%)

 

And the M&P-22 compact is made in the USA, not a Walther made gun.......

What's your price OTD?

I have had one since the week before they hit the market in August, and previously had bought a Shield a few weeks prior.  Amazing gun.

 

I want to stress that the Compact in the term is relative- it is not and I mean not some small, teensy weensy pistol that is of no use to a manly man.  It is Compact due to the fact that it is exactly 87.5% scale size of the M&P 22/ aka Full-size M&Ps.  This is due to the fact that the M&P22 was made by Walther Umarex.  Smith and Wesson had a longstanding partnership with Walther Umarex and had them make the M&P22s for importation and sale in the USA.  However, when that parternship was dissolved, Smith and Wesson decided to bring this rimfire production in-house and needed obviously to make the new product substantially different so they made their new model "compact" - thus the 87.5% size of the full-size M&P.  So while it's SMALLER, it's not necessarily SMALL per se.

 

It is however an amazing pistol.  AWESOME.  I love it.  I absolutely love it.  Shoots lights out, rarely gives you any malfunctions and nearly all the malfunctions I have ever had were with lesser-than-premium ammos... and it comes threaded with an internal thread protector so you could use a suppressor out of the box (which is nice for me here in FL if I ever get my NFA game on.)

 

 

It feels a little bit different than the Shield, and it's a very very light gun due to the Aluminum Alloy slide rather than steel like the Shield and M&Ps etc. but it's a great gun.  I got a LaserMax Genesis micro usb rechargeable green laser on mine and it's both fun and laser-lights-out effective.

So I bought one. $280 shipped.

 

Congrats I think you will find it's a blast , lots of fun, and tucks into the waistband for letting the dog out at night or mornings in shorts/light pants etc.

 

Also you got a great great price.  I think I paid $360? or something the week before it was released.  Not that I like blowing money but still, worth every dime, 280 is a steal.

Add the $40 transfer and the $27 magazine, it's almost the same price as you.

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
