Default 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.

Default 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.
