Am purchasing one tomorrow from CDNN.
New 15-22 Pistol Announced
- Thread starter cjt50
- Start date
So far so good. I've had a 15-22 rifle since 2009, and I'm very happy with the pistol so far. I've been waiting a long time for this to become available.
I let a couple of the range employees shoot mine yesterday, and I think they're going to order a few for store stock.
Don't forget, you are getting a $120 brace with it.
Forend is M-Lok, so any M-Lok style attachment should work.
I ordered an M-Lok AFG, since that's what I have on my other AR pistol... haven't received it yet.

Here is mine. Picked it up yesterday. Wiped it down and lubed it today and put a couple of magazines through it. Unfortunately i had failures to extract every fourth or fifth round. The empty case would sit on top of the mag. My 15-22 rifle has been virtually perfect in the 10 or so years and many thousands of rounds. Hopefully this one gets working. If not I wont hesitate to send it back to S&W. They will make it right. Super handy gun and feels great.

Yes, it's a blast. Not many rounds through it yet but it's been 100% reliable so far.

If you're referring to mine then yes, it's the Magill M-lok hand stop kit.

Not good to hear, mines been flawless... so far. Clean the bore and put some fresh oil on the moving parts and try again. Hopefully it will get to function reliably.

Mine had some waxy white stuff on the spring and bolt that came off with cleaning... not sure what it was, but the action seemed quite a bit smoother after cleaning. I'll be shooting it again next week, so I'll report back.

I just purchased one of the yesterday. Looks fun to shoot.
One question though....
What is all the white stuff on the bolt spring and scattered around the bolt and hammer?
Is is OK to shoot or is it corrosion on the spring?
It would not come off with CLP.

I think the white stuff may have been some kind of powder lubricant?
In my case after the first shooting trip it was coming off the spring/bolt in flakes, almost like paint, so I just cleaned it off. It came off very easily with M-Pro7 cleaner and a toothbrush.
Still not sure what its actual purpose was...

It's paint to identify the spring weight, just like the blue paint on the full size version. who every applied it went a bit overboard.

I'm assuming the white stuff is jus a light paint they use to identify the spring, like blue on carbines. I didn't touch this white flaky stuff but I did put a drop of oil on the guide rod, some on the bolt rails, wiped the bolt face and swabbed bore and went to range and had some fun; no issues.
My Magpul AFG finally showed up, and the case I ordered for the 15-22 showed up early...
As noted earlier in the thread, I was looking for something a little 'discreet', but also compact for transporting the 15-22 pistol. After shopping some interesting choices (ukelele case, tennis case, etc), I settled on a "Savior" case, available on Amazon and eBay for ~$50.
This particular case is 24", and a perfect fit for the 15-22. It's imported (isn't everything?), but well constructed of heavy duty materials. It's actually a "two gun" case, but is really better suited to one. Three large outside pockets, two of which are perfect for two mags each.
Ultimately, not as discreet as a tennis case, but it doesn't scream "GUN!" as bad as the subgun cases with obvious mag pouches on the outside.
EDIT: posted a more in-depth review of the case here: http://smith-wessonforum.com/gun-leather-carry-gear/639526-savior-ar-pistol-case-review.html#post141025613

Did just this and shot it again with multiple ammo brands. Here is what the malfunction looks like. I will be calling S&W today.
Looks like it's extracting, but not ejecting properly. Hopefully they'll get that sorted for you promptly.
