I once had the S&W M&P 22 and had nothing but ammo issues, just about drove me nuts. I finally doused it in synthetic motor oil and it did better. I called &W on it and they told me guns each have their own personality. Well so do I! I sold it.

I since got the .22 compact and no issues, really a fun little gun. I do think some guns just have issues. It sounds like yours should be well broke in so I certainly would get hold of S&W about it.
