900 rounds and the compact is still working after being tweaked.
Can't believe it is still functional the way it is built
The Ruger SR22 did have problems with the takedown lever breaking from the slide battering them, when they first came out. That has now been corrected with a stronger part, plus, if you don't trust theirs, there are aftermarket ones available that are supposed to be nearly indestructible.

WRONG.

M&P 22 Compact is made by Smith and Wesson in Springfield.

Full Size M&P 22 is made by Walther.

Speaking of Made in USA M&P 22 Compact...



Screw a can onto one and you'll giggle like a schoolgirl...

This old thread keeps going. I just came from the backyard having shot 150 rounds and I just love this gun more every time I shoot it. I wish the trigger on my 9 pro was as good.

Unlike OO buck I just love this pistol, the way it fits in my hand, totally reliable functioning, acceptable accuracy and I fully intend to pass a pair to my grand kids along with a pile of steel pistols of .22 cal and larger. The Compact is just a lot of fun and after three thousand + rounds it just keeps humming. I guess I am more positive in my outlook on life as I am enjoying the time I have left and doing it with a smile😄

Sounds to me like you bemoan the days when guns were made out of forged steel blanks, machined to shape, then polished and blued. Sadly those days are over, my friend. Even most 1911s are made using a lot of cast or MIM steel, or even (gasp!) plastic components nowadays. Glock popularized the use of polymer frames and the industry hasn't looked back since. Cheap stampings, hollow roll pins, and molded plastic parts are the way they're made these days. If you think an M&P 22c looks and feels cheap, go pick up anything made by Walther/Umarex, or worse yet Chiappa. You'll find powdered zinc slides instead of aluminum, and the springs all look like they were robbed out of a Uni-ball pen. We're a long ways away from the good ol' days of the Colt Woodsman.

So far really happy with the M&P 22 compact purchase for wife and I for plinking and getting her comfortable with shooting. As a newbie not familiar with the issues previously mentioned. Seems reliable, well made. Considering a FS M&P in a larger caliber for myself maybe a birthday present for myself. As I get more into it maybe will find issues but so far couldn't be happier with the gun.

I bought one about a week ago and think it's a nice little gun. Much better than the Walther P22 I traded for it.

Anyone know where I can get a fiber optic replacement front sight? Hi Viz doesn't make one.

Look at a Ruger LC9S

I was amazed at the trigger pull. Best out of box trigger I've seen in ages

Consumers steer the market.....when I read here someone says a mp compact is well made , well it spells the death nail for a quality gun being made.
Plus the main reason for plastic is they can make a gun for 75.00 and sell it for 400- 500
Don't kid yourself

Good, bad, all I know is I want one and can't have one. I need Smith to start making them without a threaded barrel also, so us second class citizens in the prohibited states can have some fun too.

One reason why I love Ohio

And I love the M&P 22 compact, I like the quality, like the price, love the way it shoots. Should I be counting the rounds? LOL hasn't misfired once for me. Not a "fanboi" either, this is a good handgun regardless of what you compare it to.

Good little gun. Not a target pistol, but fun to shoot. I just received a Veridian C5 laser for mine. Going to screw the can on the front and have some fun. Ordered 2 more magazines from Midway too!

I just bought an Uncle Mike's size 15 IWB. for mine. Fits both my 22compact and my 9mm shield with comfort.

I am thinking this is perfect ... As it's not like I am carrying this concealed for protection, I can use this at the range, in the yard, when I want to cut the grass w/ a pistol for snakes etc.

Not custom-tailored to a M&P22C but i am thinking it will suffice.
The Blackhawk CQC fits the 9mm shield and I assume maybe the glocks, however, it WILL NOT fit the M&P 22c.

I just bought a Tagua open top slide holster molded for the Springfield XDS. Fits the 22 compact beautifully.

You find a bad review on the M&P 22 Compact when you go in a gun shop that doesn't have one! They try to sell you a Ruger...

I have only seen good reviews on the Compact on You tube and you can see them in action shelling out the brass...

I still can't like the Luger look-a-like...

Several of the posts say the M&P 22 Compact is not a target pistol. What does this mean - it's not accurate shooting targets at 10 yards or that it is not a competition pistol, etc.?

Thanks, Bill
