I wanted one of these but felt the need to grab a 10/22 first. The MOE editions are cool and it seems they come out with different handgaurds over the original concept years back.
M&P 22 compact is a great little shooter. It eats any 22 I throw at it and threaded is definitely the way to go! Here is mine with a SilencerCo Warlock on it, also pictured is the gun that got my collection started, Sig 1911-22
