I just picked up mine about 10 minutes ago. Can't wait to shoot it.
Have an M&P 22? How do you like it?

I didn't have any problems feeding ammo, it ate hp and round nose from the get go. I have put CCI, Win and Rem bulk through it.
I still get nasty leading if I put a lot of rounds through it. I got some copper plated CCI mini-mags to try this week. A lot more than the bulk ammo but still cheaper than reloads for the 40.

Picked up number 170X yesterday at my local dealer. My adult daughter and I ran 275 rounds of older Rem Golden bulk through it after cleaning and lube. VERY pleased with it. 1 ammo related issue (squib load). It runs great ! Better than I expected and I Definitely recommend this handgun.
I am very pleased with my M&P 22. It shoots great. With CCI round nose ammo functional reliability is very good. Accuracy seems good, but I haven't really done anything but plink so far. Fit and finish are very nice.
If pushed, there are three things S&W could fine tune
If pushed, there are three things S&W could fine tune
- positive detents for the manual safety
- rounds can pop out of the magazine if it is slammed home on a locked slide
- the exterior dimensions are very close to my M&P40, but the 22 fits tighter in the holster

Got mine a few months back and I really like the way it shoots. No feeding problems and I have used standard and high velocity rounds. I would like to have seen them put changeable backstraps on them and the sights are a single white dot as opposed to my 9c and 45c's three dot sights. Also would have liked more than one mag. The gun is great for practice plinking and I think I could take a squirrel with it if I tried.

I have at least 5k rounds through mine... it so much fun I'm loading up on ammo from www.luckygunner.com, it's a great source for bulk pricing… So far CCI mini-mag 40 grain rounded copper has been flawless. The only complaint I have is… one magazine!!!! S&W has really got to get this issue worked out.

I got mine early November, sn MP0022XX. I absolutely love this gun. It fits fine in my Blade-Tech and Don Hume M&P holsters and I use it for drills to save on 9mm ammo. It has about 1K through it. I've been using Federal bulk boxes and CCI Mini-mags. Both have worked without a hitch. I mean NO problems feeding, extracting or locking back on last shot.
I was hoping a Crimson Trace grip would work on it but the grip is a solid one-piece that is not interchangeable. I would also echo the complaints about the sights being a single front dot and black U-notch rear and only one magazine. The big problem with that is there is no place right now that will sell you extra mags so we're stuck it seems.
My dealer said he had waited for months for a M&P22 to come in. I walked in an hour after he took it out of the box and bought it. Just my lucky day I guess.

I just picked mine up for near retail (389.00 plus tax) but it was a local dealer so I didn't mind paying a few extra bucks.
I'll clean it tonight and hopefully shoot it on Saturday.

Unfortunately my M&P22 doesn't fit the new Safariland ALS holster I just purchased. That's a shame (and aggravation) because I LOVE this holster and will be carrying my M&P40 in it.
S&W needs to tweak the dimensions a hair on the 22 to ensure it will fit holsters made for the 9/40 guns.

FWIW.. there are several M&P 22 pistols listed on gunborker... there is no need to wait 
Wow! Where did you find an M&P22 for $281? I paid $379 + tax for mine.

I cleaned it up last night and plan to take it to the indoor range tonight, and the outdoor range tomorrow. Review w/video coming soon!

Express police supply. Free shipping too!
I'm thinking that might have been one of the 22A models, not the M&P 22. Looking at the site and their prices, it would seem unlikely they had an M&P 22 at that price available to the general public. There's no reason to sell such a scarce, new on the market gun $100 below street price.
I'm thinking I'm wondering why you would question a guy that bought the gun.
I buy at first responder prices as many on this forum do.

As my posted indicated, I seriously questioned that price was one that was available to the general public. You should have been clear that you purchased the firearm at a special discount as provided to those in your field.
As my post indicated, I paid $281. Why I paid $281 was never asked. To say I don't know the difference between a 22A and an M&P.22 is an insult.
That said, the indication that I bought it from a police supply vendor is clue two.
And I stress, many people qualify as 'first responders'. I am not a LEO, a bodyguard, a fireman and don't work security. Yet I qualified and you may also. I think it's worth the look to see if you do.
The offensive post was where you completely discounted my information as being wrong and uninformed. You should take your 'serious questioning' and seriously question why you would pay more for an M&P.
