I have been considering purchasing a M&P15-22p pistol. I already have a couple of the rifles and thought the pistol version would be a neat addition. Doesn't seem like a really practical piece, but maybe just for fun. Anyone who already has one got any regrets?

I'm not real big on the AR as a pistol.

This is the route I went:

My friend has a 15-22P, and it was a lot of fun to shoot, so I bought one last week. He's had it since they first came out and has had zero issues with it, so I jumped on one for $329.

I bought a red/green dot/laser sight combo for it, a couple mags, and a Houge replacement grip. I haven't shot it yet.

I have one and it is a blast. I also have the 15-22. Waiting on a form 4 to clear for a mite and an aac element...then the fun begins
I got a steal on a pre-owned eotech from a local forum, so mine sports an eotech...gotta love it when the optics cost more than the gun.
I caught a weekend sale on cdnn sports a month or so back and bought 10 mags for 17.99. Now I have 12 total....load them up while watching tv in the gun room...aka garage...and have a blast the next day

the first time i saw one was at a local gun show
my knees got weak
i had been considering the gsg-5pk but the shorter pistol one's were taken off the market so when i saw this one -
OMG!!
gotta be nice to the other half so i can buy it
lol

Better be nice to the other half so she will let you shoot it. Once my wife shot mine it became her gun.

Say what???

I was interested in both, gsg especially, until I realized I would have to have and SBR stamp to add the VFG and side folding stock I wanted. Not big on spending more on accessories than I did on the gun. Might still buy a 15-22P just to have it if they ever get down to the $300 range, then I'd have to see if I could get it integrally suppressed just to be different. Would look cool in a chest style rig like adam Baldwin's Character wore on Serenity. Yes I realize he has an MP5 variant, but it would be cool with the M&P as well.

From what I've read, it isn't really a practical piece; but it seems it was created for those who love fun. I think this is the real reason for it's existence, just plain shooting enjoyment. So yea, have a ball. Anyone heard about the legality of owning both the 25-22 and the 22p, per upper/lower changing and intention of making a short barreled rifle?

Short barreled upper on the stocked lower without ATF approval (stamp) gets you time in the big house with a cell mate named Bubba (picture Bam Bam Bigelow). Even if for a short time, if you're caught it's definite pain (fines, jail, no more guns).

Not as accurate as the rifle version, doesn't have the classic panache of the K-22, a touch on the pricey side, but dang, it is fun to shoot. Regrets? - not a one. It is a super addition to the herd. Plus, once my wife had a chance to shoot the little darling, she got over the sticker shock.

do you think it would be possible to put a AR 15 upper on the mp 15-22 lower?

No, it's no possible..

Have recently been informed by S&W that they are intent on making the 'P' obsolete.

Glad I got mine then. Might have to look into getting extra springs and maybe a bolt being that they are a little different than the rifle. Spare parts you know.

Ugh, the pistol has been removed from S&W's web site. Just when I started to get interested in it, too. RIP.

I have one and now it just got ..."collectible"....

Fun gun but for us it looks better than it's accurate. But, I'm not selling it. Zombie time isn't that far away.

Guess someone musta figured out how easy it is to "carbinize" ;-{>}

Fell in love with this pistol, and love shooting it!
