I've been shooting CCI standard velocity and Remington sub-sonic ammo. Both work fine. Of the 500 or so rounds thru it, I've had 5-8 malfunctions with the sub-sonic. No biggie to me. It's a ball to shoot and is reasonably accurate.
M&P22 feedback??

I've put about 250 rounds through mine. All federal 36gr hollow point from walmart bulk pack. First few magazines I had a few stovepipes. Took it apart, cleaned it really well (as others have said they come with a lot of heavy grease behind the recoil spring. Lubed it with slip 2000 and its gotten better and better each time I take it out.
It's easily my favorite hand gun to shoot right now. Highly recommended.

I have a US made M&P 40c and the German Walther manufactured 22. JMO, the 22 is no where near the build quality of the US manufactured M&P's. i.e. The fit/finish and trigger feel of the 22 was quite a letdown. I also had serious FTB problems when the temp dropped into the mid 40's. If I had to do it over again, I would purchase a different 22.
OH, I think the standard US manufactured M&P's are awesome.

Iv'e put a about 180 rounds through mine and I'm quite pleased so far. Shot a combination of Blazer and CCI std 40 grain LRN (not intermixed in the same magazine) without any problems.
Had a failure to lock back on last round and that was the shooters fault. Had my weak hand a little high on the grip and actually felt the slide graze it a tad. may even have interfered with the slide stop. That will be addressed next time out

.I started with the M&P 22 and then bought the 9mm and two 15-22's, they've all been awesome. If I'm being honest, the M&P 22 is by far my favorite. I've only ever shot bulk blazer lead head 22 lr though it and it has been perfect from day 1. My 10 year old shoots it as well as his BB gun. This is a true 9mm trainer for S&W, Glock, and H&K (I have all 3) for a heck of a lot less money. I got lucky and ordered 3 extra mags before the craziness set in. Mine only came with 1 mag so if you plan to get one begin hunting for extra mags. Buy with confidence.

I've had one since August and have run probably 400 rounds through it. No complaints. Accuracy improves as you get used to it and it breaks in. Probably 200 or so rounds. The trigger is a service trigger not a target trigger, but that's what it was meant to be. It is a good trainer for a service pistol both accuracy wise and trigger wise, but it is not a competition target pistol.
As with any new firearm (or refurbished milsurp) clean all the packing grease out before you shoot it. There are other threads where people have not cleaned out all the grease and then stated they had problems. Mine had a large deposit of grease behind the takedown latch. I found there is a position on the latch where you can pull it out of the frame. Look at it carefully and you'll see what I mean. Makes the grease removal easier. After cleaning, lube with a good lube and you're ready to go.
Mags are impossible to find right now. Midway says they will restock in August!! Just wait it out.
Overall I like mine. The odd thing now is that with the panic buying of 22LR, I have to ration my 22LR. It is almost more efficient to shoot my 9mm and reload---who would have thought I'd ever have to save 22LR?

Good but Not Premier
I got the MP22 as a lead-in to the sigma, storm, glocks that we train students with, I wanted something more similiar to what they already have or are going to buy. Previously we only started them on a 22 revolver or the Ruger MK line which as you all know does not transfer well to the way modern CCP pistols are laid out. My target-Gov't MK-II will fire any ammo. The MP22 [at least mine] is picky, it does not like the wally-mart bulk, hollow points and lead [uncoated]. I've had the best luck with the hotter top-shelf CCI rounds. the second time I took it to the range I even had trouble with that. I really dislike that wimpy recoil spring. With no direct-drop in available commercially or from S&W I spent three months develiping my own. Now it is 100% reliable and has a real recoil spring in it not that glorified twist-tie!
I have sold a lot of them and we are about 6 weeks out, they come in packs of three [3].

It's crazy, but I am also holding onto my last few bulk boxes of
.22LR, as the scarcity is unsettling. I guess I picked the wrong
year to buy a monthly membership at a range.
As to the subject, I have this pairing for a few years now, love it;
I don't think I am even close to shooting either barrel out, but
may have to go with an M&P 22, just to flesh out the collection.
Love a range friends Sheild in 9mm...

I like my M&P .22 but looked at a M&P 15-22, said no way. I'll just put the CMMG .22 conversion on one of my M Forgeries, same weight/trigger, can pop it out, clean the bore and be back to 5.56 in minutes.
And S&W, how about a Shield in .22?? I'm a buyer if you do!

According to S&W's web site, the M&P 22 has a click adjustable rear sight. However, looking at the online images, it doesn't appear so. True?
Thanks

I have had mine for a couple of weeks. I have only shot Remington Golden Bullet .22LR out of it as that's all I have been able to get recently. Works great. No issues with my M&P22 so far. I paid $379 including the $10 background check fee.

Great gun. Have several thousand rounds of various ammo like federal, Winchester, whatever is cheap. Never a failure. The finish touches up with birchwood Casey super black in flat. A perfect match if needed.
I wouldn't buy an MP22 again. The MP15-22 I would buy 10 of, but the MP22 I have owned since September, and I have YET to find ONE 10rd magazine in stock or online anywhere. I have one 10 rd mag, that came with the gun, and nobody ever has them, and I have contacted Smith and Wesson, and they don't give ETAs even. What kind of BS that you get ONE mag with a gun, not even 2, and can't buy any more mags? Plus, I have ran 4 kinds of ammo through it, and it fails to feed properly at least 1-2 rounds per 10rd mag, which is garbage.
I have put bricks through my MP15-22, and not one hiccup ever. It's crazy my best 22 rifle is the 15-22, and my worst pistol ever is it's stablemate the MP22. even my old 22 revolver still works perfect that I have had since I was a kid.
