M&P 22 Magnum

[BradMacc82]

Just got one in. Should be an interesting addition, tempted to get one for the Demo fleet - supposedly it’s a flat, soft shooter.

30+1 capacity, optics ready.

Just on little issue with that 30 round magazine in MD for most of us commoners.

Thankfully, we're just across the VA line after the 301 bridge - where it's perfectly legal for a MD resident to obtain the magazines.

Hadn't seen this and I think I like it very much.

Seems to be an effort to copy Kel Tec. Just like their folding PCC...

Been eyeing this and want one.

I'm surpised you didn't find this first

And their single-stacks to a degree. But yeah, if s&w comes out with a 5.7 pistol that looks like a stapler and takes p90 mags... we'll all know what's up.

He did. He showed me

I have an irrational fondness for .22 magnum. No reason to love the round, but I do.

My brother in law does too. They're too expensive to be a fun rimfire to me.

LOL! I should have known!

How easy is it to load 30 rounds in the magazine? I have a AMT Automag II and it sucks to load 10 rounds.

It may be but Smith & Wesson seems to have done a much better job on both guns. The Folding PCC is set up to have an optic but you can't fold it with an optic mounted. The new M&P 22 WMR has a much better fit and finish vs the Kel Tec PMR in my opinion. The M&P is also optic ready unlike the PMR.

Honestly, haven’t tried yet - but I’d imagine the usual approach of the last 3 rounds being a bit stiff, seems to be the common theme on the newer, higher, capacity magazines.

Would like to see this in person and compare it to the Walther WMP

Genesis Firearms - 4266 James Madison Parkway, King George Va - open 7 days/week

Might as well grab some standard capacity mags while you're in a free state too.

I have always like a 22 WMR pistol. I have a Keltec PMR30 and after replacing feed ramp and mag catch spring it shoots anything I try AS LONG AS I DONT LOAD MORE THAN 20, which quite honestly is fine with my thumb. It shoots very accurately and the stock plastic trigger is very good. I have been watching the MP though and will probably get one when they are around $500. I guess companies developing FN 5.7 knockoffs realized they may as well make the 22 WMR as well. I really expect PSA or Ruger to come along with theirs soon.

MAP (hard deck we're allowed to sell at) is 649, dealer cost is 500 - maybe a private sale or trade pickup will get you there(?), but likely not a new in box unless one of the online places starts blowing them out at a loss (PSA style).

OK, Thanks for the info.
