Stove Pipe with M&P22

[ozarker321]

Update: I cleaned the gun well, getting out all the factory grease and took it out a second time. I tried CCI 'AR Tactical' ammo and it worked flawlessly (well, one FTF after about 300 rounds, pretty dirty by then). It did almost as well with the Winchester 'M22 Tactical'. Unforunately it doesn't like cheap ammo so I'm not saving as much on ammo as I'd hoped. It loves CCI Stringers, but they are definitely not cheap target ammo.

I did have to push the magazines in gently but it's not that big a deal after all. My wife loves it - she shot the 300 rounds, and it's a lot less fatiguing than 9mm (and I like saving the ammo money), and for her the magazine issue isn't a problem. It looks like it's a great training pistol, with good ammo and gently seating the magazines.

Give it some time it should get less fussy with ammo.. 1280fps is the magic number it likes.. Winchester white box I think 555 rounds at Walmart for about $20.00 bucks.. If it don't like it yet it should in time.. Federal blue box in bulk should work also again after it's well broken in.. My M&P 22 would not even fire blue box 3 out of 4 rounds on every mag .. Now it shoots anything.. I think S&W or Walther's QC should be better and the gun should be fit better from the factory like older guns were.. But it's a fine gun that should work in well with the a few bricks of CCI Mini Mags! Good luck and have fun! george

I just bought one not one proplem,I tried several brands of 22LR's and evreything went though it fine,though my MP9FS hits me with cases to the face way too much,so it's going back to S@W next week.
