Search 122000 or 222000 on GunBroker. Also do a search on Nutnfancy / Youtube. He did an extensive review. Mine has been in the endless waiting period for about 50 days so I have have not shot mine yet. From what I've seen on Youtube and heard via other reviews you need to break in the gun with Mini Mags. After that you might get a FTE on very cheap ammo but for the most part far less problems than other .22 LR pistols.

I've "got" one. I purchased it up at Freestate at the end of March, but while I'm waiting on the MSP background check to get done, I can go shoot it there at the range.
Pros - Full size. Feels like the other M&P handguns. Threaded barrel. Works pretty darn good, I've put a few hundred through it so far, and its very smooth. Love's CCI mini mags, and its also totally fine with Remington and Federal bulk packs as well.
Cons - Mags are hard to find, and expensive when you actually come across them. The only other one (which I think is common to a lot of 22 semi-auto pistols) is that my wife got a few FTEs b/c she was not holding it firm enough and the slide didn't go back far enough.
Bottom line- awesome gun, fun to shoot, good price.

I have had mine for 4 months and put around 700 rounds through it.
Pro's: Eats all ammo I have used (CCI, blazer, federal bulk), Large frame, adjustable sights.
Con's: Mag's are expensive and hard to find, safety is cheap plastic.
All in all it is well worth the money. A blast to shoot!

I also have had one for maybe 6 mo, and about the same amount of rounds as eagle-eye.
Echo the expensive mags--if you can even find them! So far I'm just sticking with the one that came with the gun.
I don't use the safety, so the plastic-ness of it doesn't bother me.
I do find that occasionally it will FTL the first round, in which case I just clear and reload. It's possible that my mag-loading skills are sheezy.

I too have some FTL's on the first round. I have found that it only does it with a heavily loaded (10+) mag. As I take rounds out (pressure off) it seems to work fine. I only have about 100 rounds through it, so maybe it needs to be broken in.

Not yet. I have a Sparrow sitting in ATF purgatory, though.
Yes I've got one, and yes, I've got it suppressed.
I've got 1500-2k rds through it- about 400 suppressed. I love shooting it. It's fun as hell, pretty accurate, and with the sparrow 22 can on it it's scary quiet. I got my extra mags for it from joebob's (actually my first of many JB purchases) and as mentioned- if you put more than 10-11rds you can get a FTL on the first Rd.
Overall- I'd highly recommend it!
Edit: When shooting suppressed- utilizing Remington subsonic, or Gentech(sp?) I've had the best success. CCI gave me some trouble, but it was... +4 degrees F when shooting outdoors that day.
Cool thanks. I have a Spectre II. A LGS has one I got my eye on. I may take my can up there for a test fit.....

Picking mine up tonight!! Can't wait! 
on another note I think I read about folks taking a spacer from the 10 round mags to make them into 12. Just keep the spacers in case you have to put them back.

It does require an adapter for the sparrow. I'm not familiar with your can.

I will agree that the safety feels very cheep.

I have one and love it! I've put about 1000 rounds through mine with not one fte, ftf. I agree that the mags are expensive right now, but I bought mine before it got crazy, and paid 26.00 a piece for them. right now they are 60-70.00. I took the safety off of mine. Its accurate and a blast to shoot. I highly reccomend it!

Anyone else who owns one have a tip for how to remove the take down lever? I've been able to turn it, but it does not really budge when I try to pull it out the 1/2 inch or so.

Made by Walther as you probably know but just tossing it out there.
