I own this gun and like it alot. It is a wonderfully reliable firearm. It is one of my two carry guns. Both 22s and both will put a stop to any harmful activity.
@@legendarygamingchannel805 I got hit in the knee with a 22 pellet gun "softer round lower velocity" and I couldn't even walk it's definitely capable you just have to be very accurate
I noticed a lot of you guys like the high round count reviews for handguns. I think I can stick with that formula. My range buddy definitely made my day. None of that shooting spooked him.
I shot mine for over a year with thousands of rounds, never cleaned it, never jammed....I only shoot CCI...I actually did it to see if it would ever jam, never did. I did clean it finally, and next I will try for over 10,000 rounds with bno cleaning to see if it will jam.
Thanks for shooting the gun a while before reviewing. The cycling reliability is one of the main concerns with a .22 i think. With it being so dirty of a cartridge, thats probably to be expected. Thanks for the review, i think i'll be picking of these up as a training aid as well!
I have owned this gun for several years, though have not shot it much. I have roughly 1k rounds thew it, every 50 rounds a different brand almost. So far no malfunctions. Extremely comfortable in the hand, and accuracy is on point for a trainer type pistol. Might be worth mentioning, I have heard of reliability issus, personally I clean my guns after every range session.
I just bought one yesterday and it a catastrophic trigger failure after only 90 rounds that makes it impossible for the hammer to move. Thankfully today I get to pick up a new one and we will see if it breaks like the last one
I purchased a S&W M&P Compact 22 just over 3 years ago and, I've really enjoyed shooting it, i.e., just under 18,500 rounds. However, during that time it has failed several times. Twice, at between 9,000 and 9,500 rounds, the firing pin failed and needed replacement. Next, at 12,417 rounds, the aluminum slide literally cracked all the way around the slide, 270 degrees (photos available), freezing it to the frame. S&W repaired and returned the gun with a new slide. S&W bore the cost of all repairs, so no complaint there. Since I also have a Glock 19 and 43X, I decided to purchase the Glock 44 a few weeks ago, as a replacement for my S&W. The first 300 rounds have been flawless and my accuracy has been better.
@@phillipsmith8 Gifted my S&W to a son who loves S&W; no issues for him. I now have over 15,000 rounds on my Glock 44, without any failures. About a month ago, I'd gone some 700 rounds with the 44 without cleaning, a shot sounded louder than normal. The ejector came off. Gunsmith at range said powder buildup at ejector caused the problem. He easily reassembled it, recommending a good cleaning. I did and it continues to fire perfectly. Accuracy continues to be good.
I just purchased one of these today In FDE with the suppressor adapter on it . I've heard nothing but Great things about this weapon. I'm excited to pick it up soon at my local gun store in Ohio.
Had a little trouble with my full size M&P22 when I 1st got it. Had to polish a couple tiny spots on the slide rails. After that, it was just about flawless in operation.
I have one that i bought an aftermarket thread protector for and i also bought an aftermarket barrel bushing that helped guide the slide, and it's ran 99% since i added the barrel bushing. The only other malfunctions were ammo related
I can expect basically any rimfire to choke once it gets really dirty, even with the best ammo. This one runs fairly well for a few hundred rounds at a time without cleaning
Good review , always had my eye on A Sig mosquito but kind of plagued with some problems I hear . This looks like A good alternative . are the rear sights adjustable .
That glock44 hunk-o-junk is a jam-O-matic from every single review I have found on the youtubes. Even 22plinkster who knows just about anything and everything about .22 caliber weapons has done a couple of reviews on it and he has had only problems. I recommend either this m&p22 compact or the Ruger SR-22.
Very cool. I have never owned a scaled down real duty pistol in .22 but it seems appealing. I heard that Glock is making one, not sure if that's a joke or not, but people complain about only 10 rounds but those are the people who obviously know nothing about .22 ammo lol.
I like this gun in that it is very similar to my M&P 9 Shield though lighter. Due (I think) to its light weight it’s a bit less accurate than its big brother. Frustrating when looking for perfection but cheaper to shoot. It does have issues recycling when shooting cheaper ammunition but even if I shoot higher grade .22 ammo it’s cheaper than 9mm ammo. Over all, a good gun. I’d like to see comments as to which brands of .22 caliber ammo gives readers the fewest misfires or stuck ejects.
Did you ever get any info about what folks shoot? I’ve had most of my misfires and failures to eject with Winchester ammo in my hands. Could be me. Federal and Remington ammo seems to work better in my hands but still see a few problems. Any other experience with other brands of ammo?
It might need a good wipedown in the rails and the grooves that interface with the slide with some gun oil for lubrication. I don't think I have experienced grittiness in mine.
Random moment #29....when a horse walks across your shooting range. Still debating to get the M&P 22 full size (compact not legal in Canada) versus Glock 44 coming out soon.
I would still go for the M&P from a durability standpoint. Apparently the Glock is supposed to have a part polymer part aluminum slide, whereas the M&P is all aluminum. I question the durability of a partially polymer slide since it bears a lot of the stress of firing. Just my take on it.
I have never owned a Mosquito, but those I know who have don't particularly like it unless its running the very best and highest velocity ammo. Might not be great if you are looking for a gun just to have fun with. They aren't made by Sig. I would definately pick the Smith.
I would love to buy one, but they are illegal in my Communist state. The evil threaded barrel. Really wish S&W Would make a version with non threaded barrel.

You think this would stop a bad guy if like someone ran up on you or home defense? I always thought people said 22s barely stop people idk
@@legendarygamingchannel805 I got hit in the knee with a 22 pellet gun "softer round lower velocity" and I couldn't even walk it's definitely capable you just have to be very accurate
@@legendarygamingchannel805 Yes. A 22 will stop a bad guy.
Shooting them (bad Guys) any place in the head or the throat will stop a streat fast...food for thought boys and girls
@@legendarygamingchannel805 You are right in questioning a .22 for self-defense. Sometimes it doesn't even kill a squirrel.
Have one of these, really enjoy it. Have about 1200 rounds through it. Great pistol!
Real nice, thanks for testing that high round count. Looks like all around great.22
Nice to have the “1200lb range buddy” along too. 👍🏼

Thanks for your review. I've had the S&W M&P 22 Compact for about a year and have had zero malfunctions. I do clean the firearm after every session.

I've only had Quality Control issues. Ran fine after addressing them.

Great review, def going to buy one of these.

I keep mine as edc. It's very comfortable. I keep stingers in it for self defense.
I bought one a couple of years ago for the same reasons. 👍👍👍
Thanks for the review!
I have one, it is almost the exact size of my wife;s 380 EZ. Excellent training tool for her.
Yes!!

Look pretty nice light great for a beginner like me
I have my eye on this one.
This is nick again. The gun is accurate, it was me. I am liking it better now.
I have lots of guns, and that gun is my personal favorite!
Thanks
I like it a lot to, shot it yesterday. I’m 15 and the recoil is so low that I could rapid fire it!
Imo this 22lr compact pistol is the most reliable on the market. I trust mine 100 percent.
I’m around 5k rounds on my M&P 22c, flawless thus far. I only shoot CCI.
Good review , always had my eye on A Sig mosquito but kind of plagued with some problems I hear . This looks like A good alternative . are the rear sights adjustable .
Yes indeed.
I was talked out of one because of the limited types of 22lr would function in the mosquito.
Just got a GSG Firefly. You might want to compare with the comparable Sig. The price is much smaller.
I think a side by side comparison with the new G44 would be pretty nice. I'm not sure which one to get.

I just bought this gun with a threaded barrel to get into fun suppressed guns.
This is what I have! I am a woman and this is great for me!!
I’ve had that pistol for a number of years 👍
Although not as accurate as my Ruger Mark I
I don't have the compact but I have the full size. It's been a great pistol.
I had to go back to your videos. I was sure you had the Compact. But no. You have that fancy 12 round full size.
Nice gun . I have same this
Very cool. I have never owned a scaled down real duty pistol in .22 but it seems appealing. I heard that Glock is making one, not sure if that's a joke or not, but people complain about only 10 rounds but those are the people who obviously know nothing about .22 ammo lol.
You can definitely get more than ten shots in a rimfire, but those mags are going to have to be really curved because of the rimmed ammo.
Also, I think because it's cheaper, I've noticed some people will pull a 22 trigger willy nilly, to the point of really heating up the gun.
Haha I was looking at the target poster and was thinking dude you're not even close lol
Thank you sir
Good Shooting.
Love mine
THANK YOU

Hey there, I have a product that I think you'd be interested in for making a review. Where can I send you more info?
i am a jungle sloth,i find the safety mechanism is very awkward for my clawlike toes,also.i have great difficulty loading magazines
Lololol
Love mine but won’t cycle quiet loads, which is expected. Also slide feels and sounds grindy. Anyone know if this will go away?
It might need a good wipedown in the rails and the grooves that interface with the slide with some gun oil for lubrication. I don't think I have experienced grittiness in mine.

Canada😂
Im thinking between this and a m&p 9mm
I saw the two for sale at palmetto, todays daily deal. I think I’m getting the .22 because the ammos cheaper.
I got both. Great guns!
I'm looking at this gun to replace my Sig Sauer Mosquito. It's a piece of trash!
Nice gun, decent shooting. Thumbs up.
I have never owned a Mosquito, but those I know who have don't particularly like it unless its running the very best and highest velocity ammo. Might not be great if you are looking for a gun just to have fun with. They aren't made by Sig. I would definately pick the Smith.
I have one in my bugout bag
Keltec p17 would be a better option at cheaper cost.
The 22 compact is an amazing pistol; I cannot stand those way-too-huge safety wings. They mess with my thumb placement.
Cuánto vale esa pistola como la puedo contener
Can anyone tell me why my slide doesn't lock on and keeps coming off when pull it back?
Slide locking last round is controled by the magazine. The thumb button pushes up on the slide lock when the last round is ejected. Check there.
it does
😍🐴
I have one and I can’t hit a barn door with it.
Did you have someone else try it to verify that it's the gun?
What's the mag capacity??
10 rounds
Standard is 10 but there are modifications to increase
Oye gringo eres muy malo para la punteria no le pegas a nada compadre jajajaja😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
I would love to buy one, but they are illegal in my Communist state. The evil threaded barrel. Really wish S&W
Would make a version with non threaded barrel.
Do you live Calif?
@@alwaysblessed7480 No, worse. I live in NY
@@ironhorse127 move to a republican state as long as you don’t come and vote democrat😂. We will love to see you be more free.
Mine doesn't have a threaded barrel.. they come in non threaded options
