Found this on YouTube -- looks like a Shooters Specialties Mount. Don't know if this is the mount he is using.

Burris just brought out a mount for the M&P but, it's very hard to find right now...
I have one on backorder...

For you guys that are thinking about running the a Fastfire II type system on your M&P 22...
I went to the range today with 6 different types of ammo...
The 5 in the pic ran flawlessly, even the RWS sub-sonics...The only one I had problems with was
Federal Match 40gr RN (not in the pic)...

How much did that sight cost how well does it work for you and where did you buy it from? I see from that link they have a few mounts for m&P what one did you use for your setup? Looks like it may work great for old eyes.. Now if I could only get ammo!! George

Thanks for the info!! I have not seen ammo .22LR ammo in a bulk pack of 333,500,525 round box in almost 1 year around here. I been looking everyplace I go too.. I love the setup but hate to spend the money till I see ammo come back around here! George
Old thread, kicking the horse to see if she'll breath...
I have the BFFII on my FS 9mm (using the Burris Mount). I'd like to put a FFII or FFIII on my M&P22. Do I go with the SSS $54 mount or the Burris Mount for $47. Which is thinner? I'd like the mount to NOT stand up too high on the slide.

Best mod is to get rid of all that ugly white lettering.
...and install SiCo's adapter with o-ring engagement while waiting on Form 4 approval for a Spectre II.
In the meantime, here's a pic of the other side with no white lettering, and a fake can mounted to see if the weight affects the performance:

Aluminum Black. Same product used to reblacken a lower after engraving your NFA info. Guy that engraved one of my AR lowers mentioned it was possible, so I sent him my slide with the lower since he had plenty of AB handy. Couldn't be happier with the look.
ETA: pretty sure he gave me some tips in an email in case I was going to do it myself...if you're interested I could hunt them down when I get home later this week.

No, just the area of the lettering. The pistol was brand new. It doesn't affect the rest. It chemically reacts to raw aluminum to reblacken, and also happens to remove whatever was used to whiten the letters.

Not sure exactly how well the pens work...as he used the bottle and some small brushes and q-tips. That's also what I used on my lowers.
Pen may work just as well...let us know how it goes.

I got some of that stuff Brand Name#1 is Birchwood Casey "Presto" gun blue pen .. Will not work on Blue stainless steel aluminum or none ferrous metals # 1321 PSP..#2Birchwood Casey Super Black Instant touch-up pen For polished alloy gun recivers, trigger guards, scopes and so on it is like a felt tiped pen that you pump what looks like paint into the tip#15102 BPPF.. It comes right off with hoppes bore solvent
#3 Birchwood Csey Perma Blue Past Gun blue this is for steel 3SBP2
Not sure but I have used all them on what they shoould be used on preped well but never had lasting decent finish none the less one that would last..
So what the best stuff I could use on aluminum or steel? I have used sharpie's that lasted longer on small nicks and screches. George

Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black is what I've used.
The key is the metal has to be degreased thoroughly. Another issue is how the original finish came off. For instance...here's the lower the guy did when he did my M&P22:
The trust name part was bare aluminum after it was engraved.
The pic above is a good example. So here's a bad example. I let the local Things Remembered store try to engrave one. I couldn't get the AB to turn it all black, so I sent it to the guy along with the slide and the lower in the other pic. He said it was because the engraving tool they used chipped the finish...and the AB wouldn't react to the surface properly.
You can see little flecks of what looks like bare metal.
AB isn't going to wash off...as it causes a chemical reaction instead if just being a paint/ink.

Thank you for the reply.. i have repainted many cars in my younger days and I do know prep is everything.. Maybe I'm using the wrong type of degreaser or am doing something wrong in that way makes sence to me.. What's the best stuff to get it done right? George

Another good source is to go to Amazon and read the reviews. A lot of people give you hints for how it turned out better for them.

Not mine...but I haven't seen anybody else post that grip in this thread. It's a Pachmayr slip-on. I ordered one today. Pretty soon mine will look like that except for Spectre II instead of Warlock (same size, just SS instead of aluminum). Oh yeah, and without the lettering on the slide...

Guess I need to update with a pic of my own.
I like the all black look with the Pachmayr:
And it makes a nice pair with the M&P 15-22 SBR:
On another note...I was able to blacken the letters on another 22 pistol I bought recently.
Started with this:
Replaced the grips with one from Hogue, add the SiCo adapter, and removed the white lettering with Aluminum Black...and ended up with a Johnny Cash version of the GSG 1911-22:
I asked the guy that did my M&P for a couple tips, and here's what he sent me:
I found a 3-pack of brushes for $.89, and knocked it out in a couple minutes.
