M&P 22 Compact.

The new pistol appears to be an M&P .22 fullsize shrunken down 15%....... beavertail, rail, and all, rather than an analogue for an actual M&Pc in .22.

Had it been an actual external copy of an M&Pc I'd snatch one up, now I'm not so sure.
 
Thanks for sharing the link, photos answered a lot questions. I'm going to pick one up in a couple weeks once the "new" at retail level wears off.

Greetings,

I'll take it back right away Sir. :) Nahh... we'll see how it performs with various subsonic rounds first...

So far my Ruger Mark III holds the title as my go to wet work pistol... LOL. Always looking for a replacement.

Take care.

Perhaps due to the fact I am quite opposite of the people who wanted a different product than what the M&P22 Compact is, it's perfect for me.

I've always been a fan of Smith & Wesson but I was always a Glock guy first and foremost. I bought my first personal S&W in my new 15-22 back in early 2010, and never really considered buying an M&P pistol because I'd probably have bought a Glock.

However, I recently bought a M&P Shield 9mm for every day carry, because I needed a specific, dedicated CCW gun for every day usage and the Shield was absolutely perfect for that. Probably because of the fact I was/am so happy with the Shield, the M&P22 Compact appealed to me, and I just happened to find one at a gun show on Sunday...And it was awesome!

Now I don't care that it's not striker fired and not an exact replica of the M&P to train on etc. ... to me, it's an M&P in .22LR, a great little gun that is not exactly "little" and it's a great Smith & Wesson.. everything about it is good for me. Maybe it's not what everyone wanted, i can't really speak to that ,but it's sure all good for me and my use!

I talked to a guy who makes adapters and he has received quite a few inquiries and will be making them. I'll post his details when he has them available.

I take it the M&P 22 adapter definitely doesn't fit? The thread pitch of the Compact version is listed online, but I didn't see it listed for the full size.

I have the SiCo version on my full size. It'd be nice to have one to use with my Spectre II and Warlock II.
 
I would think from my experience that hammer fired is more reliable.

Is there any kind of an advantage to the 22c being hammer fired instead of being striker fired?

The M&P 22 original pistol is also hammer fired. It's been a very reliable pistol. I'm willing to bet that my M&P 22 compact willl have the same results.
 
i actually like the idea of this new design (at least on paper); as i'm just getting my wife into shooting and i'd prefer she gets her own .22 and leaves my Buckmark alone lol. And this looks to be a good size for her and may giver her some experience with a feel that appears to be similar to my 9c as she considers trying that as well..

again only talking on paper until we hold and shoot one.

;)
 
The S&W 22c is 100% S&W, the fullsize M&P22 has a Walther action. My S&W rep brought one into the shop and I got to test it on the range, excellent little gun, we put several hundred rounds thru it without a hiccup. I'll try to get some detailed pictures tomorrow.

Definitely not. It requires a 3/8x24 to 1/2x28 thread adapter. The M&P 22 full size Walther barrel is threaded from M8x.75 to .5-28 threads.

I have a Walther adapter and it definitely is a no go substantially. Damn metric system

Greetings,

Soooo... took it out to the range to try out some standard velocity CCI, SubSonicSniper 60 Grains, and some Gemtech Silencer 22LR. Not a single issue straight out of the box with no cleaning, etc. Just a visual safety inspection. The trigger has some travel that takes some getting used to because of that damn safety mechanism.

I didn't take any CCI quiet ammo with me. The slide release is very stiff if that is your normal means of releasing slides.

I like it. Whether or not it will be my primary suppressor pistol remains to be seen once I have an adapter... darn S&W...
