I have the S&W .22 Compact and it is an awesome pistol. I swear, it is the only .22 that has never given me a magazine issue - period. I shoot it in competition rimfire matches at my club and it is more accurate than I can hold. It is a completely different pistol than the full size model so if you see bad reviews, they most likely came from the full size model. For the money, this is an excellent gun.
Congrats. Look forward to your future range report. I think I'll eventually get one in 2021 as well.Just did what you suggest(Kentucky gun co) and found one in stock a couple days ago an even at special price ($299)waiting for them to send to a local FFL.I choose United gun for that part as they always been a great place and people to deal with on past orders.Thanks all for the suggestions really appreciate the input.
