MP22 Compact thread adapters

[strobro32]

I called S&W today and they told me they have no plans on making the adapters for the Compact.

I was also pleasantly surprised to hear today a friend of mine at Stalking Rhino Industries is making the first and currently only 3/8 x 24 - 1/2 x 28 thread adapters for the new MP22 Compact. He operates a suppressor company and does highly accurate work.

SRI SS adapters will be black oxide finished and can be thrown into the dip to clean. Easy peasy.

Here is his post at NFAtalk.com.

Hey guys!

Just finalized our thread adapters for the new S&W M&P22 Compact .22lr handgun.

Here's a picture of the product....(we snapped the pic before they were notched for the wrench so that feature isn't shown but will be on the delivered product).

On the left is the adapter built for the Silencerco Sparrow/Spectre o-ring profile, and on the right is the traditional adapter.

These adapters are offered in SS and the cost is $40 apiece delivered.

We are also offering a limited run of 25 of the Silencerco profiled adapters in titanium for $50 apiece delivered. These are first come first serve.

PM or Contact Shawn to purchase one!

Just got off the phone with Silencerco. SRI is who they recommend for the thread adapter with their O-ring engagement specs.

Here are some pics Shawn@stalking Rhino posted today.

How do you take of the slide to clean the gun with the adapter attached to the barrel? Do you have to take the adapter off every time you want to remove the slide to clean the gun?

Thanks....

You can't and yes.

Excellent!!!

Thanks for update

Excellent!!!

Thanks for update

SRI wants $40 for theirs, and it comes SS without a thread protector. I would've had to pay $10 or so to get it Cerakoted black and then another $15 for the TP. Assuming SiCo lists most of theirs at just under $40, so I'm definitely waiting a couple weeks to get the SiCo version.

Smith & Wesson M&P 22 Compact Thread Adapter For Sparrow Blued - $23.00 : EWK Arms

Can't vouch for them at all, but they have the Sparrow thread adapter, blued, with thread protector for $23. $3/$6 for USPS standard/priority. The non Sparrow version is $22. I doubt the thread protector includes o-ring engagement.

You Sir... are a hero. Just ordered one to try it out. Ordered one over two weeks ago from Stalking Rhino and still don't have a time frame for delivery.

I'll post up when received.

Greetings,

Thread adapter from EWK should be here today it looks like. I received a shipping confirmation about two hours after I placed my order. That is what I call good business. Will post up later my thoughts when it arrives.

Greetings,

Well I am just pleased as pig**** with the customer service of this guy. Ordered yesterday and here today. Screws on with a 1/4 inch allen wrench. I need to get to the range and test it. But you telero... your google fu is unmatched. Thanks buddy.

EWK is a good company but their design is not optimal. I'm going to give an experienced guess that the EWK adapters will foul with lead in a few hundred rounds to the point where the wrenches will not fit. Anyone who has SS stuff vs alloy carbon steel will weigh in.

SRI and SilencerCo adapters will last a few thousand rounds between cleaning. They are a better app. JMHO.

Can you post some pics from the muzzle end? And a pic if it mounted? The one stock photo doesn't show much.

That was kind of my thought as well. Be interesting to see the feedback. I'm holding out for the SiCo.

 

[strobro32]

Mark McWillis @ TROS is making them now. He makes excellent adapters too. I can recommend him without reservation. $68 shipped
TROS USA

They are available with the Silencerco O-ring engaement front.

I got my new Compact .22 a week ago and my TROS adapter (Silencerco) early this week. Packing my range bag now with my Sparrow and I can't get the factory thread protector off nor was there a wrench in the box
My plan was to do a SR22/M&P .22 Compact suppressed shoot-off today but I guess the suppressed part will have to wait. This will be my first .22 S&W in years and can't wait to shoot it.

I hold no allegiance to either dealer. Actually still waiting on the SRI one to get here. However, after 500+ rounds through the EWK... sorry, but no fouling to the degree you experienced. Maybe in another "few hundred" rounds.

Can't figure out the multi-quote, so sorry. I am out of town this weekend but will try to get to that next week.

I was a grunt in the Army so there is nothing a BFH and vise grips can't fix. Of course the thread protector is not very pretty anymore, but I am inpatient and the thread protector was tight as hell.

I actually did a video review with my Brother for another forum testing ammo for a Ruger Mark III Talo. You can see it here:

Dangerous Brothers: Tradecraft... the Silencer Ammo Test - YouTube

1. CCI Quiet 22LR: 710 FPS with a 40 gr bullet
2. CCI Standard Velocity 22LR: 1070 FPS with a 40 gr bullet
3. Aguila 22LR SSS Sniper Subsonic: 950 FPS with a 60 gr bullet
4. Aguila 22LR Super Colibri: 500 FPS with a 20 gr bullet
5. Winchester 22LR Subsonic: 1065 FPS with a 40 gr bullet
6. Remington 22LR Thunderbolt: 1255 FPS with a 40 gr bullet
7. Gemtech 22LR Silencer Subsonic: 1020 FPS with a 42 gr bullet

I used this same ammo to test out the Compact and EWK adapter yesterday. Very, very impressed. No video

Straight out of the box, no cleaning, 500+ rounds. Some notes:

A. CCI Quiet almost fully cycled the pistol. The slide did not go all the way back causing the shell to get stuck in the slide. No big deal. Didn't expect any extraction. Maybe with a cleaning and lube it would fully cycle.

B. Aguila Super Colibri was lethally quiet, powerful and did not cycle the gun. Definitely tradecraft ammo.

C. Aguia SSS worked perfect. 60gr of whoop ***

D. All the rest performed flawless. No FTE, FTF or stove pipes

Was all the testing done with the EWK adapter while suppressed? If yes, which host and which suppressor?

Vise grips worked like a charm

Greetings,

Yes, with the EWK adapter. That was the point. The set up was, M&P22C, EWK Adapter, and Tactical Innovations Stratus Suppressor.

I am a steel person. When it comes to swords, knives, and like arms, I have a solid grasp of steel.

If you want an adapter that is good enough... well I'd say EWK fits the profile. You get a thread protector and same day shipping because they are in stock. It is already blued and I like the Allen wrench aspect for removal... a lot.

I can't speak on the SRI model... YET. I was one of the first to order it and have yet to receive it. I sent my money order off on 2 Sep 14. Still don't have a ship date. But Shawn has been in contact with me and fully explained the delay. So for $28 and to test this pistol I got the EWK also.

If the EWK was the only one I bought... it would have been good enough for my needs. I don't run thousands of rounds through my suppressor a year. If you want a better metal, you will be waiting a bit.

The conclusion from my personal hands on experience is that you can get by just fine with an EWK. YMMV.

GemTech is also working on an adapter for the M&P 22 Compact. I don't have an ETA on availability.

 

[strobro32]

Twin Tech is making them now. I have no experience with this company.

I think I like that one best so far, when looking at the combination of price and design. I have a spare TP is could use, but they don't have the blued adapters available, yet.

Plus...it's just hard to buy something from a company that sells "solvent trap adapters", no matter how legal they may be.

 

[ScottS]

I have no attachment to the company in any way, but I can't say enough about EWK Arms, and their threaded adapter for the Compact.

Their customer service is really stellar, they shipped immediately, the adapter is only $23, which includes a thread protector, and they only charged $3 for shipping (no gouging there). I think there are 5 lessons in that sentence alone other companies could learn.

The adapter itself is beautifully machined and finished, and installs conveniently with a hex wrench at the front.

Lots of flash there, but I wanted to show the hex.

This is a terrific option for those who want a threaded adapter.

 

[BigWaylon]

Looks nice. But, that's the $22 version, right? Not the $23 version made for the SiCo rimfire cans. It's missing the o-ring engagement section.

It does appear short enough you could use it with the SiCo cans without worrying about damage to the o-ring or alignment issues, just not the added benefit of sealing off the threads from build-up.

That's correct. It's the $22 version. Good eye.

I ordered the SiCo version by mistake, and sent Eric a note asking to switch versions before he shipped. I got an immediate note back telling me he'd switch versions for me. I told him to just keep it at the $23 price (I call it the "stupid tax").
