Dang, M&P .22

[JohnMc]

I have run 3 boxes of federal 550 bulk pack through this M&P and haven't been able to have any malfunctions, no FTF, no FTE. It may be my fault, I haven't cleaned it, since I bought it.

Just stuck a fiber on the front and started shooting.

My only malfunctions have been cheap ammo.

[DeerfieldCurly]

I only have 3 or 4 hundred rounds through mine so far, but no problems, of course I never had any problems with my Walther P22 and they are pretty much the same action from the same people.

Where did you get your FO front sight from?

[sarnburg]

Mine has run flawlessly also. The first time out I loaded the magazine with 10 different 22 rimfire rounds and it cycled them all with out a hick-up.

My only complaint is it only came with one magazine, and they seem to be tough to come by.

I want one. How is the trigger?

The trigger seems to have the same travel as most M&Ps. Mine pulls 4 lbs.

Things you may want to know about the M&P .22

It does not have interchangible backstraps like the centerfire M&Ps

It is almost the same size as the centerfire M&P....It is tight in the BladeTech that I have set up for my M&P Pro

Mags are rare at this point and you only get one with the gun

It is built by Walther and has a lot in common with a P22. For instance, if you have a thread adapter for a P22 barrel it works on the M&P .22

To me it looks like the front sight dovetail is different from the centerfire versions.

Don't take these as complaints, I am happy with mine. It shoots great. Just some observations.

Yall got lucky. Mine is a hunk of junk, it won't run. Just got it back from smith and wesson where they "fixed it",

they knocked the dot out of the front sight and didn't replace the magazine, so it still won't run.

Aggravating to say the least, and it has burned me on Smith and Wesson

[GlockCanMan]

I took my daughter out this last weekend to go shooting, and we fired 200+ rounds through my M&P 22 without a single problem. Used nothing by CCI minimags.

I bought 4 spare mags directly from Smith & Wesson.

I seem to get a few failure to feed malfunctions in mine, no matter the magazine I use. I use mostly federal bulk ammo at 1260fps. what fiber optic sights fit on the 22?

[birdzman]

Zero problems with the M&P 22 or the 40c

Yes, what fiber optics will go on the 22 ??

I used the rear sight from my M&P Pro, and a Dawson M&P front. The Pro rear sight matched perfectly with the stock front.

[chuck s]

which height dawson did you use?

[JohnMc]

5 packs of federal 550 and still haven't cleaned it. I will have to clean it soon, it is looking pretty disgusting inside.

[twodelta]

which height dawson did you use?

The stock one is roughly .145 high. Dawson makes a .150 tall that I used with the stock M&P Pro rear.

[saab]

Although my .22 is getting much better with Federal bulk after 3K rounds, at first it hated them. one or two FTE per mag.

The Remington golden bullet works flawlessly! It is also noticeably more powerful. It says it has the same FPS but it is NOT.

Also the Federal shoots POI, and the Remington shoots 2" lower.

[Ben-Sons]

How close does it feel to a full size M&p?

[chuck s]

pretty much the same except the weight. I put grip tape on mine to match my Pro

I used the old FO front sight from the 9mm Pro (replaced with Dawson set) and kept the rear adjustable. The M&P22 front dove tail fits perfectly.
