You are probably looking at the wrong model mags. The only S&W .22 that has both a 10 and a 12 round mag is the Mdl 41 pistol.
The AR15-22 has 2 different 10 round mags, a 25 rd mag pinned to only 10 rounds and a short true 10 round mag. The short 10 rounds ones are the ones I use on mine when using my benchrest at the range. I can use the 25s but then I have to jack the rest way up. As a competition speed shooter I find that there is no amount of mags that is perfect. I have 4 of the short 10s for shooting in matches that limit me to 10/mag or sighting in at the range. I have 8 S&W 25s, 2 Promag 32s and one BDM 50 drum.
