My Brother-in-law purchased one in NJ and is currently waiting for his NICS to go through (11 Days right now in NJ) but he was told it only comes with one 7 round mag? Its brand new and comes with everything including the case and backstraps but this sounds odd to me. Usually you get 2. Thanks

Yep, they only come with one, which is stupid. Plus they are very hard to find.
 
I got 1 12 round mag with my M&P22 which is normal (or a 10 round magazine in limited states). Backstrap on the 22 isn't changeable.
 
Thought it was strange. I never bought a gun with less than 2 and my XDM 45 came with 3. It has to be a 10 not a seven but thats what the sales guy told him. I hear the 10s are easy to convert to 12 by simply pulling the pin. Thanks guys.

Didn't know they made a 7 round magazine for the M&P22.

What backstraps? M&P22 does not have changeable backstraps.
Mine came with one 12 round mag and I bought 2 more.
 
I bought two M&P 22 pistols (both came with one mag) and bought 13 more magazines! All of this was before the panic started.

I just picked mine up this morning, it came with one 12 rounder and I bought 3 more. Range time tomorrow afternoon!
 
Mine came with one 12 round mag. I since have obtained two more mags for it. Not aware of any time they have been available with more than one mag, nor any 7 round mags for the M&P 22. Nor does it come with interchangeable backstraps. Although uncommon, there are a few other pistols from other manufacturers that also come with only one mag.

You will like the M&P 22 as long as you don't have unrealistic expectations. It is reasonably accurate, but it is not a match grade target pistol. They are notorious for coming from the factory full of grease so be sure to field strip and clean yours before taking it to the range to shoot it - as should be done with any new weapon. Be prepared to try several different types of ammo in it, especially for the first 200-400 rounds, to find out what cycles best (22lr semi-autos are notoriously finicky about what ammo works best, pretty much regardless of the manufacturer). Once the springs, etc. are broken in it will likely be more forgiving regarding what ammo you feed it. Be safe, and enjoy shooting!

13 magazines. I hate you.(kidding) LOL I cant seem to get my hands on any locally. I did get 2 from a forum member, but could use 2 more. I feel 5 is a minimum amount to have for a 22 pistol.
