M&P .22 Pistol (not AR based)

[jimbobborg]

I saw this mentioned on another forum, anyone seen this yet? Looks just like a full sized M&P but shoots .22s.

I posted videos a few days ago, not mine but it shows it up close. The thread is called "New M&P22 vids," look there...

Great, they're out now. I may have to swing by a couple of places and see if they got them in yet. Thanks!

I haven't seen any available yet at least from our suppliers...they may be out there though?

I would imagine they need to be roster-ized?

Heard they come with a threaded barrel just like the P22...

 

[Sven071]

Yes, they are available.... However, from my impression the first batch sold out quickly. I found a few on Gunbroker.com for 399.00. Buds gun shop also had them for a short time. And, yes, it is just like a p22 only with a longer barrel. The only main difference that I can make out is the fact that it takes different magazines than the Walther p22. Here is the link again to the vids on youtube:

Word has it in the rumor mill that Apex might be working on a high quality conversion kit.

Darn it, some one beat me to it... It looks really nice. I have been drooling over the reviews on youtube for months now. I just have to come up with the money to get one now.

Walther is making them for Smith.
I first saw one in Sept. at Smith's M&P armorers school.
Looks like a well made pistol and should fit just fine in the M&P lineup.
I think I'll wait a while to make sure there are no bugs and to let demand die down a bit.

Do any of the IP have them in yet?

Can you get them without the thumb safety?

 

[ViperRy]

Did my paperwork at 2ASales yesterday. They had a couple more as of yesterday.

Made by Walther
Very easy to field strip
No you cannot get them without the thumb safety .
The thumb safety is ambi.
They all have mag disconnect safety .
They have two "models": one comes with 12rnd mag and one comes with 10rnd.
Threaded adapters are readily available.

Now I'm just waiting for my Form 4 to come back on a spectre!

no, import rules

no, import rules

F'n govt!!!!! I waited a while to get a .22 handgun because I knew the m&P22 were in the pipeline, now I am not so sure I want the gun.

I feel like a kid on xmas who didn't get what he wanted.......

Cast or machined slide?

 

[Sven071]

I just got my paperwork started on this today... The weapon seems solid... I can't wait to get it to the range.

Im gonna bump this thread to ask :

Does the m&p22 have an integral lock that meets the MD specs?

Website does not say anything about internal lock, only thumb safety.
Similar fixed barrel as the Walter P22.
