New 15-22 Pistol Announced

[Neversink n Klapperthal]

I had one of the old ones without a brace

I just stumbled across this thread and it cost me $519. Placed an order from Sportsman's. Have considered a full caliber AR pistol for quite sometime but rifles are really loud here at my home range and I knew I would not shoot it all that much. This 15-22 pistol is very exciting. Got a Romeo 5 on order too.

That thing has to be fun, why? because it looks just like my 15-22 Sport (only shorter) good job S&W!

From video I saw; it appears they are using the same bolt that is in the older pistol. Material removed from top on an angle and some removed from bottom.

I could not find a video of the new pistol bolt.

I'm looking forward to seeing videos or pictures soon.

Try this one;

Even tho it's an older video, it represents the differences perfectly.

Here's a side by side of the new 1522 pistol bolt next to a 1522 rifle bolt. Just picked mine up yesterday at Shoot Point Blank, $499 plus tax. Now I need to decide what optic to use our just leave the rifle sights on it. Worked great with my suppressor

Think I found my optic. I've got astymitism in my right eye, so red dots are stars instead of dots. This 1x Vortex Spitfire has the dot in a circle etched glass reticle and shows up clear as day. Works very well, hitting 6 inch steels constantly at 70 yards, that's as far as my range is setup.

Is the "buffer tube" molded into this or is it removable? I'd prefer the original style without a buffer tube at all.

Molded just like the rifle. You can always cut it off.

Running the same glass on my 15-22 pistol. Very under rated optic that Vortex discontinued.

I bought two of these I believe from palmetto for like$90 each. Wish I had bought at least one more. I like them myself, underrated as you said

Mine is supposed to arrive tomorrow here in AZ, but for some reason went from Texas to Oakland, CA, where it currently sits.

Now if the rain would just stop.

Mine arrived last week, but finally got in to pick it up this morning. Looking forward to getting out to shoot it.

Just ordered mine from Kentucky Gun Co. $499 cash price, free shipping, no sales tax, (saves me 8%). Thank you stimulus check. Even have $200 left over for ammo. "Optics Ready" so no iron sights. I've had my full size 15-22 for a few years now. Will probably do some mixing and matching with all the spare parts that I always inevitably accumulate, Magpul sights, hand guard, red dot, tacti cool charging handle, and more. Should be fun.

Anyone come up with a good, low-profile case for their 15-22 pistol yet?

I use a tennis racquet case for AR 9mm pistol.

I use a tennis racquet case for AR 9mm pistol.

I was actually considering a racquet case... or a ukulele case , and shopped some today. Couldn't find anything I liked.

Copper Basin makes a covert backpack for takedowns that looked promising, but I didn't want to drop $100 on one.

Ended up ordering a 24" 'Savior' case. I'll post some pics when it arrives.

On another note, finally shot it this morning. Ran mostly perfect with bulk HV, and CCI SV ammo. Couple hiccups that I'll ascribe to being a brand new gun (haven't even cleaned it yet). Would not cycle CCI Quiet (which I expected), cycled Remington Subsonic just fine.

Very quiet with the Mask HD... just action noise.
