Congrats on your M&P 15-22! Also a NJ resident that has the 15-22 and it's by far my favorite to shoot.

Congrats on your new 617! I've been keeping my eye on one for awhile now, haven't found the one with a reasonable price yet. Sounds like you got a great deal. Have fun and would like to know your impressions on it. Quality and how she shoots. Howard

Some real good replies to my original question. I do appreciate your input. Since posting it I have done more digging and found other posts elsewhere talking about the QC issue. As you might know by my items listed under my name, I am a real S&W fan. The M&P's are terrific and the 15-22 is...

I almost have my mind made up on a S&W model 617, 10 round, 4 inch barrel. (Probably not gonna be easy to locate one with a reasonable price.) I searched the forum for thoughts and opinions on this gun and read some great reviews here and YouTube. What are your experiences with trying to locate...

Welcome from New Jersey.

Wife will have to try my 9 again and give it a fair chance. I think she wants to have a gun to call her own. She enjoys shooting the M&P 22. Like I said since getting the 15-22 I hardly shoot the others. Wonder if ammo is a problem where you live?

I appreciate your stepping up and making your comments. Since having both M&P 22 and the M&P 9 FS I was looking for a gun the wife could call her own. She has shot both and I think the 9mm has a fairly hefty kick for her. I was hoping the Glock 19 would have less. I am only going by what my LGS...

Some real good answers here. Since it will be basically a woman's gun, I want it to work well for her. I know I'll be shooting it as well and my hands are not large. Since having my M&P's, which fit like a glove and are very comfortable, I am leaning towards the Smith's. It's very difficult to...

I am the proud owner of an M&P 22, M&P 9 FS, and an M&P 15-22. All feel great and shoot very good. Since getting the 15-22 the others haven't been fired much. Sorry for the long story. The wife is looking to get her first gun and looking for some experienced advice. Naturally I'm an M&P fan...

Thanks for the replies. I went to the range today and sighted or tried to sight my Strikefire in. I was shooting low at 15 yds and high at 25 yds. I didn't realize that 15 yds was too close for what I was trying to do, so I'm told. Later in the day I went to my LGS and did some talking and...

If anyone has read any of my recent posts then you will know I'm a new M&P 15-22 owner and fan of the forum! Without paying attention to some advice to stay away from the "Pic Threads" because it will temp me to spend, I looked anyway. :) You all have done some terrific stuff to your "baby."...

All I have to say is OH MY!......:) After all the long waiting for this and that, you all have been through it, this is one tremendous rifle! Went to my local indoor range today for my first visit with the 15-22. The solid feel and hardly any sounds, am wearing ear muffs, is pretty amazing. I...

After a long 13 day wait, yes I live in NJ, my NICS came through today and I was able to pick up my new M&P 15-22. I am very happy to finally have it in my hands. Won't be able to shoot it until Friday, so for now I'll admire it and clean and read about it. I've been following this forum for...

Very nice post and great on your modified mag! I've been following the 15-22 forum posts for some time now and find it a wealth of info. As I've said above, I'm still waiting for the call to pick my new M&P up. Getting any mags looks like a real problem unless you wanna pay through the nose. Was...

Great pic! I'm hooked, just can't wait for the NICS to come through.
