S&W MP 22 Mag
I purchased one of the MP 22 magnum pistols a couple of months ago. I have had good results during the break in with the CCI Maxi-Mag, and the Hornady V-Max. Fun to shoot and accurate. A S&W flamethrower with virtually no recoil.
Very reliable so far. Make sure you don't push the rounds back too far in the magazine, as the rims need to sort of be "staggered" so that the all come to the top properly for feeding.
Take a look through the owners manual too. Lots of valuable info there.

I want a more compact version, 1” off height and length, 20 rounds, lighter weight for CCW.

Got a review in the April issue of Shooting Times. Sounds positive overall. Gives a M.S.R.P. of $649 but probably less.

I've got about 1200 rounds through mine now with no issues. I put a red dot on it and my wife now uses it as her bedside gun. Run the magazines dry don't lube them, that seems to work best

Mine went back when I couldn't get more than two rounds to fire in succession with out a jam. Turn around was quick (under 3 weeks) but I haven't had a chance to try it out to see if the issue was fixed.

22 Mag ammo
So far, mine has functioned well with CCI and Hornady ammo. Zero failures. However, it will not digest the Winchester Super-X loads.
The W-W ammo seems a bit weak in the knees to me.

Finally made it to the range today. Out of 70 shots fired, only two actually ejected. I kept trying hoping it would loosen up and work but no such luck, so back it goes tomorrow.

I finally got to shoot mine last week. On the first shot, the empty stovepiped and after clearing it, the rest ran like a champ.
The trigger is so heavy, at least to me, I think I was pushing the gun as I pulled the trigger and most of my shots went left and low. Got to work on that.
I cleaned it this mornng, and was surprised at how clean it stayed internally as compared to my M 41 and my 1911 type centerfires, almost spotless. I did examine the firing mechanism a bit closer and ended up putting a mix of moly paste and synthetic lube on the sear area of the hammer and that seemed to lighten and smooth it just a little. I am hoping it will improve with use.
I am used to much lighter triggers like my M 41, the K frame target guns and even a little Kit gun along with my 1911 types, I also shoot some air guns with trigger pulls down around 3 oz.

My gun was returned Friday, 5/10/24 and went to the range today. While it is markedly improved, it still failed to feed or eject around 30% of the time with one magazine and around 70% with the other. At the cost of 22 mag ammo, this turned into a pricey experiment for a gun that shoots reasonably accurate but with terrible reliability.
The first two pictures show failure to feed. You will note the barrel (which S&W says they replaced) is pulled back in both
photos:
This last photo shows one of the FTE's. Note the barrel is forward:
This gun has been the biggest disappointment of my many S&W purchases and while I hope they can make it right, my optimism is waning.

This is disappointing to hear. I inherited a case of W-W ammo and have been debating the purchase of this pistol.

Picked one and 175 rounds with no failures of any kind. I made a separate post on it.
