New M&P22 for me + questions

[evnash]

Just picked her up yesterday at my local shop. $349. noticed the mag wont drop free. guess that due to the mag safety. i can see the lever where it operates but has anyone been able to defeat the mag safety yet? looks like you could almost pin it back somehow...

My M&P 22 I received last week drops the magazine easily with just a push of the release button. Bob!

Same here, mine drops free with the release button. Have had it 2 months or so.

took another look last night and all 3 drop free now.

also customized my gun a bit. stippled, trigger guard notched, safety switch removed, adapter added

where did ya get the adaptor?

my local shop had them. they are the same used on the P22. check midway, cheaper than dirt, etc

Did some more tinkering in the shop last night. Notice anything?

Extra capacity in the lower mag right? Nice. One extra round is a good move.

Btw that is an awesome work mat. Where did you find it?

I'm not the OP but saw a seller at a large Atlanta show with thse mats, he had 2 different sizes and several different firearms avail.

Is it possible to remove thumb safety both right and left?

 

[ipittythefoo]

Did you cut off any of the follower in the magazine? How about a picture of it?

i believe so. but i left my right side on just in case it got engaged somehow.

Did you ever get any pics of how much plastic you took off?

How does the m&p 22 compare to the feel, operation and handling of the m&p 9? Does anyone know? It could almost pay for itself used as a trainer for the full sized.
