S&W M&P22 - anybody got one?

[Trekbike]

I guess I've been under a rock. I just came across this on Smith's website. Very interesting. Anybody got one?

NOTE: This thread is about the M&P PISTOL - not rifle (M&P15-22). Check the link.

Product: Smith & Wesson Model M&P22

I don't think they are out yet. I couldn't find any on Gunbroker.

Ooops! I didn't click on the link and I thought it was the carbine...sorry.

They are out. Great guns. I love mine!

Is it picky on the type of ammo it likes?

I was wondering how the weight and feel compares to a normal centerfire M&P. Do you own one to give a comparison? Such as, can you tell it's a 22 before you shoot it or just think it's a normal M&P? I'm thinking it would a great training aid for us M&P owners.

Its lighter for sure. I don't have a 5.56 to compare it to... Likes CCI for sure, not sure what else...

From the specs it looks like they are both 24oz without a mag.

Its the m&p 22 pistol they are talking about.

I seen something late last year on it and forgot about it. Curious to what the trigger pull will be. Hope it's not like the sig mos.

I'm waiting for the 8 shot sp101 !

Trigger pull is like any other stock AR. You can put a Geissele or Timney in it if you wish. It takes any standard AR trigger.

Like its been said already this is about the pistol not the rifle.

I see, I had to look it up. I thought we were talking about this:

[DaveTN]

Well I have M&P40, M&P40C, M&P15T, and M&P15-22 so I guess I’m going to have to add one of those now.

BTW here is the one we are talking about....

[Trekbike]

Thanks Dave, I guess I should have done that to keep down the confusion since it looks like some aren't using the link.

From the little info I've found, it looks like Walther is making it for S&W but not sure if that is correct, or why Walter is making it. I know they have quite a bit of experience with 22LR autopistols but "made in the USA" is what sealed the deal when I was looking at the M&P40.

[DaveTN]

I think I’ll pass. I just looked on the S&W forum and according to them it’s made by Umarex.

Umarex makes junk. Remember the Colt AR22?

This would be cool if S&W made it. I’m disappointed in Smith & Wesson if its true they are having a cheesy version of the M&P made.

[Trekbike]

Say it ain't so Joe.

I was disappointed when I saw the Walther thing, now Umarex. I can only hope both are wrong. Was that info posted by Smith or just folks on the forum?
