Have any of you shot the new S&W M&P 22 pistol. Think about buying one to shoot for practice instead of my 9mm. I like the fact that it is an exact duplicate of the full power cousin.

I'm interested also. I did hold one last week at a store and wish they had been around before I bought my Walther P22.

Well I guess I am going to have to go buy one and post a review myself. I don't need much arm twisting to buy a new gun.

Just bought one off of Gunbroker. Should have it next week.

We were at the club shooting this morning, and one the guys there had his out. He carries an M&P in 9mm, so he loves shooting the .22 version. It felt really nice. I wish Glock offered this option, as I love my G26. Looks like I may have to pick up a couple of M&Ps next.

The trigger sucks

Can you give a better description of the trigger? I like the M&P triggers in the full size guns. Do you know-
How does the trigger compare to a 9mm or .40 M&P?
How does it compare to a Walther P22?
I'm thinking of trading in my P22 for one of these but so far everyone has been out of stock when I go to look.

The M&P 22 trigger is different due to the fact that is hammer fired instead of striker fired. Mine is different but I would not say it sucks.

I picked up an S&W M&P 22 pistol a short while back for the wife. I really liked the fact that it was full sized versus something much smaller (like a Walther P22). It's much cheaper to shoot than my 9mm (of course), so I usually take it with me to the range on weekends.

Personally I think it's great. It's super light given it's polymer with an aluminum slide. It feels great in the hand and shoots like a dream. Beyond some dud cartridges (shooting super cheap Remington Thunderbolt) I've never had a failure to fire or any other issue for that matter.

My only gripe would be the trouble I had getting some extra mags (it only comes with 1). None of the local shops had them in stock (they reported an issue getting them from S&W). I ended up ordering them online for about $35/each + a few $ for shipping.

I'd highly recommend it.

My M&P22 had average of 10-20 FTE, FTF etc out of a box of 525 (Fed, Win). It tended to do better with CCI but still enough failures that I sent it in to S&W. It took 8 weeks to get my gun back with a missing magazine. It was a hassle to get a replacement mag. The gun was returned to me with grinding marks all over it as well as a new front site. Not sure why the site was replaced since it was accurate before I sent it. I took it out and I still had the same issues but now an added perk of having to spank the slide to get it to finish going to battery. Figured I'd try a standard 200-300 rounds to see if problem still persists. Each outting seems to be getting better, but this gun was obviously built on a Monday or a Friday or a day adjoining a holiday. The repair person was obviously incompetent and was just collecting a pay check so went crazy with a debur tool just to finish getting the widget out the door. You take your chances when you buy a gun. Very little ethics on quality from any of them. They should of sent me a repaired gun that worked (the gun was only a month old when returned to them for repair). I think if the problem doesn't go away, I will ping pong them until they get it right or the gun is deburred to the size of a derringer!!!
