I buy a gun for it's intended use. I have a M&P 22 lr full size pistol for my carry and daily use gun. I bought the M&P 22 lr rifle for target shooting, "plinking" and varmint eradication. I would decide what your use will be then decide what gun to buy.
I bought the 22 lr caliber on both guns...
That's if they have it in stock which they said they didn't as of last Friday. Also realize that is the stripped down model. it will cost you almost $200 to get it set up decent
