Yes, in the longer barrel of a rifle the propelling gas is still spread along a substantial length of the barrel when the bullet exits so the suppressor is not hit with the entire shock wave instantly like it is from a 5 inch barrel. If you have ever fooled around with automobile engines you...

I don't think you got hurt at all. I have had the full sized M&P for almost two years now and it has been a gem. I have never had any problems with this pistols and it is very accurate. The only criteria is that you must keep it very clean and well lubricated and it will function as good as a...

That is very strange guys. I have an M&P full size .22 and it shoots Winchester Super X all day long. In fact, I have not found a single brand of ammo that it won't shoot and I have shot more than a dozen different types through it. I think the quality control for the .22 caliber pistols at...

OK, so the shell case is longer, or probably longer. Sounds like I had better contact S&W before I try it, I really don't want to screw up my gun and I have a lot of standard .22LR ammo. Thank you for the response.

I see both points but I think maybe I should contact S&W, I don't want to damage my pistol. I normally shoot Winchester Superex (1300 FPS) plated and it works flawlessly. I was told on another forum that the case is longer than a standard .22LR and I believe it. I just don't want to mess up...

OK, so I have a dumb question regarding my M&P .22 pistol. I recently bought a couple of bricks of Aguila 30 grain 1750 fps ,22 LR ammo. Is it safe to use this in my M&P pistol? I was told that I should not use this in my Ruger 10/22 and that it should only be used in bolt action rifles. I...

I have a green laser on my M&P .22 and it is a lot of fun. I can definitely see the argument that it won't make you a better marksman because it won't. But I am a recreational target shooter so for me it was a fun thing just to play around with. Now that I have it properly set up I can shoot...

I occasionally use a degrease spray and a stiff brush to get the crud out of the firing pin slide. Some runoff is inevitable and it does spot the slide and grip but after cleaning, oiling, and re-assembly, a good wipe down with a Hopes silicone cloth makes it look like new. I think the more...

Your post brings up an interesting question regarding the quality control of rim fire pistols at S&W. I have a Smith & Wesson MP .22 ( the standard Walther version) that shoots anything I load in the magazine and I have used a dozen different manufacturers and velocities from 1050 to 1300 fps...

Same here, other than the occasional clunker round I have not had any issues with at least a dozen different types of ammo. I have been told to only use HV ammunition in the M&P but I have fired standard velocity ammo (1050 fps) and it still works fine. Only issue is that some of the bulk...

Well I got my new magazine back from S&W and it seems slightly different than the older ones so I am going to try it out along with another one that I know to be problematic. I should be able to compare the two and see if there is an easy fix. I also like Kibbleking's suggestion of polishing...

I have had a couple of issues with my 22A mostly FTF & stove piping, it seems to be very ammo sensitive. The latest hiccup was a real doozy. I put a fresh magazine in the gun, loaded a round, fired, and boom.... The baseplate of the magazine blew off,,,,HARD. I don't have any idea what...

Does anyone know if S&W ever made a 44 magnum revolver with an 8" barrel? I have seen a .357 magnum with an 8" barrel but not a .44.

I have had my M&P 22 for about a year now and have put about 1200 to 1500 rounds through it. It is accurate and feels right in my hand but it is not without a couple of small issues. One issue is the slide lock lever is dainty so when you disassemble the gun you need to be careful with it...
