But if it is made by Walther then that probably means that it is made by Umarex and those are the people who messed up the Walther SP22 and the Colt AR-15.
I shot one this week and it was one heck of a shooter. I liked it so much I put an order in for one when they ship in April. On my M&P .45 I have the small grip adapter on it fits very nice in my hand. The M&P22 felt very similar to me.
The M&P 22 was demo for a sports distributor at their show and it got shot hundreds of times in a very few hours and never had a glitch. S&W said it is rated for any .22LR ammo. They were using CCI mini-mag for the demo.
It is lighter in weight than a standard M&P but shot just fine. It did not have the cheap feel a lot of the current breed of .22s have. Overall I was very impressed with it, like I said I have one on order.

It was similar but not exact. The trigger seemed to be lighter and what was amazing is how fast the gun cycled. You can empty that magazine in nothing flat. Fast and smooth would be a good way to describe it.
I'm going to put the M&P through the ringer before I decide for sure but I'm guessing my Ruger and Colt are going to be heading down the road after the M&P arrives.
Slide Locked Back with Last Round?
K.38:
Did the slide lock back when the last round was shot? No FTFs or FTEs during your testing?

Yes the slide locked back and while I had to check out many other firearms every time I went by the S&W range people were banging away with the .22. I stopped by and shot the .22 four or five times. It just felt right and shot great.
I did not see any FTF or FTE and I don't think there was. The only time the .22 was idle was when the S&W rep had to run someplace and get more ammo.
I don't want to bash any other manufacturers but I will say this of all the firearms there S&W, Ruger, Springfield, Glock and the Remington 1911 were about the only trouble free guns there. Every other maker had to have something fixed or looked at to keep them all running. The poor Ruger LCR revolvers were so fouled they had to run a brush down the chambers to get the crud out and rounds chambered. As far as I know was all they done to them. Those LCRs just kept going and going.
Info on New S&W M&P22
I talked to S&W Service Rep today. They did not know the date of availability of the new M&P22 but said to check back from time to time. Hmmm. Anyway, I was able to verify the following: .22LR, striker fired, single action, one grip size-not interchangeable, rail, threaded barrel like the Walther--need adapter most likely, 12+1 version (SKU 222000 order number) and a 10+1 version, 24 oz. weight, and the M&P22 is manufactured by Walther, Germany. Check out the link to the 2011 promo on S&W stuff that was produced for the 2011 Shot Show. The M&P22 is on page 9 !

its been like a week since we heard from you? your LGS said it would be in today or tomorrow but others are saying its not shipping to April....
Yeah I found out right after I shot the video. I need to annotate that info asap.
Thanks for Posting
Looks like a lot of people are going to jump on the M&P22,
as soon as it comes out. I'm even thinking about getting one for a walking-around shooter instead of a revolver. Of course, IF everybody
climbs on this bandwagon, that might shake loose a RB kit-gun.....

Is the M&P .22 the same size as the non-compact M&P ??? (What is barrel length?)
Thanks- that looks SWEET, and would be a good practice/target shooter for someone who already has a 9mm M&P for CC.

Found info showing barrel length 4.1"- there is 10-round version and 12-round version. Can put on your "wish list" on Bud's - they will e-mail you when they get some. Bud's price $364.
