    Mini Red Dot on a M&P22?

    Oh man, I didn't notice that you were in Allentown - I live in Bethlehem. The Hellertown Sportsmen's Assn is the club that is hosting the 22 action pistol league. Second Tuesday of every month (which is this coming Tues). Let me know what you learn from Mr. Mismer, and I will keep everyone...

    Mini Red Dot on a M&P22?

    Hmm, I am surprised to hear this. I have read of multiple people taking stock rear sights from their higher-caliber M&Ps and putting them on their M&P22. (Note that the stock 9mm rears don't match the stock 22 front blade height, so the elevation will be off.) But, per what I've read they do...

    S&W releases new M&P Pro Series CORE models.

    Well, crud. I just bought a 9mm 5" Pro...

    Mini Red Dot on a M&P22?

    I emailed S&W this morning, so we'll see what they say. I am pretty skeptical that it would cycle well with the added reciprocating mass, especially given that I already have enough ammo-picky issues with this pistol. But, that's totally a guess.

    Mini Red Dot on a M&P22?

    Hmm. There is another option less expensive than milling. Speed Shooter Specialties makes a collection of aluminum adapters that fit lots of different sights: S&W M&P : Welcome to Speed Shooter Specialties Again though, this option adds even more weight (about an ounce). I'm going to try...

    Mini Red Dot on a M&P22?

    I'm curious if any of you are successfully running a mini reflex sight mounted on the slide of your M&P22? Reason I am asking is my worry that adding a few ounces to the weight of the slide would cause cycling problems? Or is there plenty of energy there that extra weight wouldn't be an issue...

    What's the Deal on the M&P 22 Mags?

    I bought my M&P22 about 6 weeks ago, and ordered 2 mags direct from S&W right away. I also received the backorder postcard, and mine took about 3 weeks total to arrive.

    M&P 9mm FS shopping - advice welcomed!

    I did dry fire a used M&P 9mm at a local shop, and had no complaints about the trigger pull. No idea how much it had been used though, or how old the model was. I'm sure these are all minor differences, and I'm not an experienced enough shooter to be very discriminating. Just trying to learn...

    M&P 9mm FS shopping - advice welcomed!

    I am enjoying my M&P22 so much that I'm now shopping for a full size M&P in 9mm. Since I'm new to this scene, I thought I would ask advice from you enthusiasts. :) Are there any issues from older models that I need to be aware of? (Runs of serial numbers I need to avoid, etc.?) Sounds like...

    New M&P 22.... AWESOME!!

    Just got back from the range with my few-week-old M&P 22 - loving it! I must disagree about the Winchester white box ammo - doesn't work worth a **** for my gun. CCI is flawless. Need to try Federal 745 and Remington GB next. See my thread in this forum re. bulk ammo for M&P22s. Some...

    Bulk CPHP ammo for M&P 22?

    The muzzle numbers were all very similar, but I just happened to notice that the Win 100yd numbers were lower than the CCI. And then I looked at the rest, and they followed the same trend. I am not claiming that my conclusion is correct - but the data is compelling. BTW, 300 rounds of CCI...

    Bulk CPHP ammo for M&P 22?

    Cool, thanks guys. My pistol is very new (400-500 rds), so break-in may make it a little more ammo tolerant. I can tell you that the (well worn) rental at the local range/store was very reliable - boxes of Mini Mags through that thing with no issues, and the trigger was really nice. Will try...

    WHO HAS CHANGED SIGHTS ON M&P22

    Sight picture looks nice, Laird. Is the TFO rear sight adjustable?

    Bulk CPHP ammo for M&P 22?

    Hi all - new M&P owner here. (You can probably tell by all the posts...) Any recommendations on bulk copper plated hollow point ammo that shoots well in this pistol? I bought one 535-box of Winchester, but I'm getting a lot of failures to eject (at least one per magazine), some failures to...

    New M&P22 :)

    Also really enjoying my new M&P22. Fair warning - I bought a big 535 white box of Winchester hollow points, and my gun does not like them. At least one failure to eject per magazine, and a decent number of stovepipes. Perfect record with CCI Mini Mags so far though. Your mileage may vary.
