M&P22-WOW!

[kbm6893]

I took my new M&P22 to the range today and I am so happy with this purchase. Fired about 50 rounds of each of the following:

Winchester 36 grain hollow point 333 Pack from Walmart-Zero Malfunctions

Remington 550 Golden Bullet Hollow points-No malfunctions

Federal 550 round value pack- No malfunctions

Remington Thunderbolt (yikes!)- NO malfunctions

Winchester Super X-No Malfunctions

Winchester XpertHV- FIVE malfunctions (1 fail to fire but then fired when round reloaded, 4 fail to eject)


I was hitting a 16 ounce soda bottle at 25 yards shot after shot. Literally made it dance off the range. Rest of the shots were on a 12 inch Shoot N See target at 25 yards. I'm sure a Ruger or a Browning are more accurate, but this gun is more than accurate enough for me!

I had to leave the range early, though. Two idiots show up and take the point next to me. One of them is "teaching" his friend how to "safely" handle a gun. He loads the Glock, turns it to the side to show his friend how the trigger is now forward, and the freaking barrel is pointing RIGHT AT ME!. I just left. No sense trying to correct people these days. Someone that dumb with a loaded gun in his hand is not someone I want to have a conversation with.

Smart move to just leave. Some people...

Congrats on the M&P22. Sounds like fun, I gotta get me one of those!

Question.

How does the M&P 22 trigger compare to the Shield?

Love that gun...

There is just no cure for stupid, I see it on a public range from time-to-time.

As to the M&P .22, mine is great and shoots anything I put in it. One caution, don't waste money on the Remington bulk pack. I've experienced nothing but trouble (fail to fire mostly) from this brand and my gunsmith warned me away from them as well.

I should have known they were gonna be morons. They were to my left, but when they went downbrage, they put their targets to my right, so they were shooting at an angle. Then one of them stepped in front of the bench to shoot, rather than stay behind it.

 

[Jlduke]

I shoot Remington Bulk through mine all the time. I've only had trouble with Winchester bulk so far.

M&P 22 pistol is in a class by itself. The only other pistol that looks worth buying is the Ruger SR22.

I have had my M&P 22 about a month now. Love it. Would like for the trigger pull to fit in with my Models 41 and 2206. Put close to 500 rounds thru it and only ammo problems was with a box of Remington Thunderbolts the wouldn't fire. Even had FTF with them in my Model 617. Looking for a green glow front sight. Any suggestions?

I remember way back when they (Thunderbolts), weren't too bad. I don't know what Remington did, but NONE of my 22's like them. Misfires and stovepipes is about all they're good for. About all they have been good for is training my friends grandson about hangfires & misfires and what to do when that happen in his bolt action single shot.

How does the M&P 22 trigger compare to the Shield?

Russ

They aren't similiar at all. The shield has a stiffer trigger with a crisp reset. The M&P22 is much softer and the reset is really vague.

I actually just got home from shooting both.

TeaQue:

Thank you.

I was hoping the M&P 22 would hone my Shield skills for less ammo money.

This is my first .22 pistol, and I was prepared for it being boring shooting only a .22. Not at all. Lots of fun, just as much as a larger centerfire gun. The .22 will be my main range gun from now on. Shoot the others just enough stay current with them, that's all.

Ive had that happen at the range a couple of times....i give them my pissed of look and ask him or them what the hell they are doing, But then i feel bad as they might not have had a father to show them proper manners when firearms are near or in your possesion. I din't have a father growing up since i was 3 but still i have common sense. Seems like the new generation of people are lacking common sense, im not saying stupid because i know alot of people smarter then my self but lacking something that i belive is a must.

These two didn't look like the type to take criticism. When they went up to staple their target, the were about to staple theirs right over mine! Remember they crossed into my zone to hang their targets. I called down to tem "Whoa! That's my target you're covering" And the "teacher" looked annoyed. Barely uttered a word of apology.

They feel totally different in the hand and also shoot at a different POI so I don't think it'd be effective for that purpose. I mean, shooting a lot in general is going to help overall and .22 is cheap.

I say do it anyways.

 

[Pokerstar]

Glad to hear it shoots so well! I just got mine this week and wasn't able to get to the range yet! This makes M&P #3 for me!

Then you are right, they are not worth your time. I would have too left for the day. People like that will eventually shoot themselfs or worse someone else.

My only complaint about my MP22 is that the magazines are hard to find and expensive =(
