Just took my new M&P22 compact with my Sparrow can out for the initial test drive. It functioned flawlessly with junk bulk ammo. Not a single hiccup, jam, FTF, or FTE - nothin but fun. The fit and feel is that of a high end quality firearm and the ambi safety was a real treat. All my past .22 auto experience was with Mark1-3's and a walther PP22.

I gave all my auto 22's to my sons when I bought a CZ SP01 9mm and the CZ 22 conversion, threaded. The CZ was a decocker model and the 22 conversion was flawless. But when I purchased my Sig P290rs, I decided to give one of my son's the CZ combo and stick with the Sig for my 9mm carry. This left me without a .22 auto.

A local gun enthusiast and dealer showed me the M&P22 Compact and stated that he owned one and how much he thought of S&W's quality standards in the M&P line. SO, I thought what the heck and jumped. WHAT A TREAT!!!! The M&P22 Compact has become the host for my suppressor. It's just a whole lot of fun and very reliable.

I also took off of the dealer's hands, a S&W model 24-6 3" barrel 44spl that was in mint condition, never fired (a safe queen) but without the original box and paperwork. Its owner passed away and the widow was liquidating the collection. I paid $600. I don't need no stinkin $600+ box and paperwork for this treasure. It turns out, when I researched this particular revolver with S&W that it is 1 out of 250 made. It is my new trail gun for Colorado hiking (two snake shot followed by 4 hollow points and heavy slugs - every other round).

The only "issue" my M&P 22 has, is it likes to be clean.

After 200 rounds, it's time to clean. Otherwise it gets sluggish and doesn't always go into battery. As long as I keep it clean, no problem.

As you use it as a supressor host, it may be less than 200 rounds for you.

Hello, the only issue with my mp22 c is my wife took it for her edc. Thankfully I have a full size mp22 for me!!

I purchased a new M&P Compact on August 31st. I couldn't be happier with it! It feeds every type of .22 LR I've tried in it, and it's surprisingly accurate for what it is!

I use Blazer 22LR in mine it loves it.

Mine will fire bulk ammo until it gets pretty dirty and then start to fail to extract. At that point I switch to CCI MM and it keeps on going fail free.

Really like both of my M&P22 Compacts (used). I bought a used one and then after I bought my dueling tree on my way "up north" to the cabin picked another used one up at a gun store for a very good price (super, super dirty though).

With both of them though, the sights were off, one was way off.

I have shot, 4-5 different kinds of ammo and am really impressed with them. Have 8 magazines for them now. Bought a new Buckmark 10 years ago or so and like that, but like the M&P22 much better since much more similar to my M&P 9 M2.0 Compact and somewhat to my Sig P365 (well I still think it helps).

They __do__need to cleaned regularly for sure. I seem to shoot a lot more with the dueling tree now and I usually have to clean them on the spot if I don't move onto another gun. I'd say 200 rounds for sure with my Otis kit and also bring some $1 store Q-Tips to clean them (work great).



Got an Action Target Rimfire Dueling Tree about 4-5 months ago ( with AR500 paddles ) and love using it when I go "up north" to the cabin.

Side note; one of the paddles was wonky, so emailed them about how I purchase a replacement, couldn't find it on their website for the Rimfire one. So they sent me all new 6 paddles (v2) free of charge. Was very, very surprised since I forgot to get back to them about what to do and I see a FedEx shipment coming my way. WOW.
