    OFFICIAL (IN STOCK) 22LR AMMO THREAD

    I ordered two of these about a month ago... on two different orders... I got the same "out of stock" return from their website... both orders shipped within a week or so and arrived about a week after that.

    Finally !!!

    Went to the LGS/Range yesterday for our first 'real' shooting class... the NRA Basic Pistol Course... Had to do the entire 8 hour class in one day as either Julie or my work schedule had somehow conflicted with the twice-a-week, 4 hour evening classes that were offered... :( Last time I was in...

    M&P22 FTF from the git go

    You guys are amazing... I put a couple rounds in a magazine, inserted the mag slowly into the pistol, pulled the slide back and let it go... the round went into the chamber perfectly! Thanks! A related, follow-up question: I pulled the mag (with one round still in it) so I could remove the...

    M&P22 FTF from the git go

    Bought the M&P22 on a black Friday deal, haven't even shot it yet... I'm new at this and all the training classes are full til mid January!... The 'Nice Lady at the Gun Store' (NLatGS) asked if we needed ammo when we purchased the gun... I told her "probably a good idea... it would be like a...

    Newbie... HELP!!! (first cleaning)

    Thanks guys... The edges of the patches in the video (with the exception of the 'cut up t-shirt) were much 'cleaner' than the one's I've seen at Wally World... the ones from WW had frayed edges where loose threads could come loose during cleaning... Bad patches? or is that just what I should...

    Newbie... HELP!!! (first cleaning)

    I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed at this point... we bought our first handgun--an M&P22- as a 'Black Friday' special... got a great deal on it, then began reading about the pistol here... 'Everyone' says "clean it first"... fine... We bought a Hoppes kit, read the directions and still are baffled...

    New S&W M&P 22 Choking - Is it the Bullet or the Pistol?

    Is there a video (or, possibly, a more thorough set of instructions than the factory manual which came with my M&P22) that would show proper cleaning/oiling of this pistol? I haven't even fired mine yet :( but have been gleaning quite a bit of knowledge from the posts here... I pulled a wad of...

    I've had it apart already... there is quite a bit of grease along the rail (?) (where the return spring is located)... should most, if not all, this grease be removed?

    On the other webboards I belong to there's a rule: No pictures... it didn't happen! So with that in mind (that's my "Arctic" in the background):
