Thanks for showing how easy to rack! I usually only buy S&W EZ models but want a 22.
Thanks, enjoyed your presentation. At first I thought his pistol was the same as my M&P 22 Compact but the round count from your mags was a give away. My compact mags hold 10 rounds.
There is no substitute for live fire. Not to mention your having fun. IMHO one of the coolest guns ever on the Buffalo range.
I am believer in live fire practice as well. Dry firing helps but live fire is key.
I carry this pistol all the time IWB its super light weight and doesn't drag your waist band down on a pair of light shorts, its scorching hot here in Georgia and normal attire is light shorts a tee shirt and flip flops, I carry it loaded with CCI stingers its super accurate and always dependable
Me too here in Ky!
What holster do you use?
@@rossalbu8472 I made one and modified a Bulldog pancake holster that was originally designed for an SP 101 Ruger revolver. I have been making my own holsters for 35 years and seldom buy them.
No jams nor misfires. I like that. I am sold on it.
This thing is still extremely reliable!
wife just gave me one for Christmas , with 3 extra mags and a case of thunderbolts . shes a keeper . great video
Best review I've seen on it. Thanks for the trigger poundage clarification!
Love the amberdextrous safety, mag release & takedown!
I have a womans shooting group & have been looking for good rentals
Awesome! Glad you found the video helpful!
That's one nice pistal glad to see you buffalo,thanks for sharing with us,
It's good to be back!
I have this firearm, suppressor ready. It was a good buy for me. I like most everything about it with one exception. The M&P badging on the slide is painted on, not stamped into the slide. So if it should wear, you can't color fill it back in.
This is a good informative and entertaining video . And you did good grouping,right on target.
This pistol is on my wish and great video !
I'm waiting for mine to be shipped to my local gun shop. With the cost of 9mm ammo now in Dec, 2022, I've either got to quit going to the range so often or buy this to shoot instead of my M&P Shield. I rented one and shot it at my range. I absolutely loved it. Can't wait for it to get here.
new logo is cool. got the compact m/p 22 for my wife and she loves it, She has fired over 700 mixed 22 rounds and has ran perfectly good plinker
Thanks, my wife made that logo by taking a picture of a moon clip for my 627 V-COMP and dressing it up in photoshop.
Great review on the M&P 22, another video review that was on the money!
Thank you. Just subbed your channel BTW.
Excellent analysis... It's going in my survival pack/with a leg holster along with my Henry AR-7 (only one ammo caliber to pack).
A human is likely to run if he can't recognize what caliber you're pointing (the size/look is the same as the other M&Ps).
Good video and a fun gun to shoot for beginners or old timers that love to shoot at a reasonable price.👍🇺🇸🔫
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Just ran across your video and it motivated me to take mine out and shoot it. I put a set of Williams Sight Co. Firesights on it. They are a little taller than the factory sights for shooting suppressed and fully adjustable.
Picked one of these up yesterday. Badass little gun. Definitely a blessing in this ammo shortage since .22LR is still plentiful and cheap.
Where'd you get yours?
@@MLinktheprophet Local gun shop
Great review.....I have the Ruger SR22 and I love it! But i also own a Shield 9 and 45 and they are great shooters and I've been wanting this M&P22.
I need to do an update video. This pistol has seen some serious use since I recorded this video. I like it even more today than I did then. I highly recommend.
Good to see back on the range, nice new logo.
Thanks, it's good to be back!
Great pistol, good job Buff
Thanks my friend!
Great review. Thank you.
Thank you for the review
S&W now includes a Wrench for the thread cap, but shorts you 1 mag. They just never learn.
You nailed it! I'd much rather had a spare mag!
You know you are a real fan when you get in the first comment.
You win!
TAOFLEDERMAUS pretty sure your channel was the reason i was directed here, and i freakin love the channel!! Thank you for your awesome job and also the shout-out for buffalo!
First is the best title. Women lust for a man who is first!
Can't beat a M&P in any caliber. My 9mm has never failed. The 22 powder is pretty dirty from any brand and occasional fail's are common. Thanks for sharing, watching for the next post.
Agreed, the M&P series is solid.
Had mine about 3 years now, got it with the intent of also getting another center fire M&P and like you said using the 22 as a trainer...so far that centerfire hasn't came home yet...only problem I have had with mine is a roll pin working its way out during firing, not completely but @ 1/4"..
Thanks! I'll have to keep an eye out for that issue!
I hear ya buffalo, I HATE magazine disconnects!! Looks like a good training gun. 👍🏻 Bicycle lock! 😂😂😂
I agree, I prefer to NOT have them on my pistols. Keep an eye on your bike!
I hate it too. Luckily there's an easy way to remove. I won't bother because I don't plan to carry this gun. It's only a range toy/trainer for me.
Thank you so much loved this video
Great video! One of my all time favorites!
Thanks, it's quickly becoming one of my favorites as well!
Another great review. I hope S&W makes a 9mm version of the M&P22 Compact with a semi-staggered 10 round magazine like the one in the Glock 48.
Thanks!
I have this one and absolutely love it, I shoot it all the time!
I wish I had gotten one sooner Rich!
Yes plenty accurate enough is an understatement!
Can't beat a good 22 pistol. Great review!
Thanks man! You do know that you are missed here on the tubes right?
Thanks bud! I miss it too!..Ever since the election i've been working more than ever and it's hard to find the time!..Congrats on the success of your channel dude!
I understand. These videos take up so much more time than most people think. Luckily I have had the time to do it. I still enjoy the occasional video from your channel. Just do what you can do when you can do it!
Can't get one where I live but it is a nice little handgun from what I can see.
I like that quick draw MgGraw
Thing you did...:)
Looks like racking it would be good for a small petite shooter .
Thanks For The Review.
THanks! It would make a nice pistol for the reasons you mentioned.
I like my M&P 22 never had a issue with it!
Great pistols for sure, I wish I had gotten one years ago!
Do you carry it everyday though?
@@ps3boss98 not sure they're meant to be a carry gun. They're more of a practice gun and having fun type gun.
Nice review! I took the safety levers off mine. I love mine and was looking forward to getting a suppressor without having to deal with the tax stamp etc. Doesn't look like that will happen now....
I've read where a lot of people take those levers off. Sad but true about the hearing protection act. It doesn't look good at this point.
Nice pistol and 1k rounds the day of picking it up as you gotta be loving it for that....Good info...Good stuff...
Thanks, I really like it. I'm glad you enjoy my videos!
I just watched a video where you can remove the magazine disconnect saftey. You should check it out if you have not done so already
I have the same pistol and love it. Great for teaching kids and practicing with the M&P platform a lot cheaper.
I agree, awesome learner gun!
Great review...
Thanks!
Hey buffalo, great content as always! It seems your always putting out exactly what im *interested in or have been needing/wanting. Lol what'd you say these usually retail for again?
Crap I replied to the wrong comment....sorry about that. I paid 334 dollars for this one. Thanks for watching my videos, much appreciated.
It's between the s&w m&p full size 22lr or the Walther ppq m2 5 inch 22lr or both if I had my way!!
Taylor tactical follower makes it a 15 round magazine I have 3 mags that hold 15 and 1 12rd
Great video, from a country boy..☺
Thanks!
Love the vids
I am glad you enjoy them!
Can you do a video on the Smith and Wesson 500 and shoot the 700_grain bullet for it
I love shooting this gun!
It's a great pistol. Thanks for watching!
I know where I can get a used one of these m&p 22 at a local gun shop I may go back and take a look at it hopefully it will come with more than 1 mag thinking I saw a price of $350 on it if I remember correctly? but I just never have been a big .22lr fan pistol or rifle always wind up selling or trading them for something else
Good job
Thanks
As usual, another great episode from Buffalo. Thanks man.
Can you do a video more in depth of why dry firing can be bad. I’d like to understand why.
Thank you! I am glad you enjoy the videos. Dry firing for most guns will not cause harm. However with rimfires like the .22lr the firing pin comes forward to strike the rim of the cartridge. If there is no cartridge there to absorb the blow the pin can strike the edge of the chamber and with continued dry firing can result in a dimple or bur on the edge of the chamber causing all sorts of problems. Some rimfires have built in measures to prevent this from happening, others don't. So I just try to avoid dry firing rimfires as much as possible.
Buffalo's Outdoors Makes perfect sense. I’ve not had someone explain it to me before. Thanks Buffalo.
I should have explained it in the video when I talked about dry firing. I get ahead of myself sometimes.
So with a dummy round or a spent casing you should be ok to to dry fire?
I haven't had a good 22 pistol for years. Do you know if the slide is the "zymack or magnesium alloy Walther uses in their small ? 22 ?
Gpah drnglk no the Compacts slide is made from aluminum.
very good buffalo, bicycle lock or something?. LOL!
LOL....I didn't know....
There’s a website called Taylor Tactical where you can kit your magazines to hold 14 or 16 rounds. A definite look to check out for a higher capacity! Good Stuff right there…..
Where can I buy that same hard case as yours? Is it a S&W OEM Brand?
Do you have any barrel leading problems with that gun? I have a m&p 22 compact and it seems to accumulate lead near the muzzle which turns the accuracy to trash. Thank you buffalo and great video!!
No, I haven't had any leading issues. I had a Ruger Mark 3 that leaded really bad with Remington ammo. I think it was their target load. I removed the lead with a chemical lead remover and switched ammo and never had an issue since.
Matt Jones mine is still doing it after sending it back to SW. 70 rounds and it's time for scrubing the lead out.
Do you think shooting a 22 like this M&P, some shooting skills transfer over when you switch to a full caliber M&P?
Yes. Much like shooting skills learned on a 9mm transfers to shooting a .45 or .38 transfers over to .357, the basics are the same regardless of caliber. I learned the basics on a .22 way back in the day and it definitely helped me when I stepped up to center fire.
I have this pistol and love it. But please do share where magazine’s $20-$30. I can only find $40+ and of course in a 10 round state
Good to practice with the low priced 22 longs so you can go out and maybe get some more bike cable locks.
LOL!
Whats going on with the pin that is sometimes wandering out ?
This seems like a great pistol. It's too bad that S&W doesn't offer a 22 magnum version of it.
I think you just talked me into a new gun . Lol I been looking for 22 pistol for my kids to try steel challenge at the local gun club. Specially cause my kids go through ammo like crazy . Reason they don't know the cost of ammo . So 22 long rifle is the best way to go for that .
It's funny you watched this video today. A friend and I shoot steel target drills every Wednesday evening and this is the gun I use the most. I have had very few malfunctions with this pistol. At present it has about 10,000 rounds through it. I am actually thinking of making a part 2 of this video simply because when I did this video I had no idea how much I would end up loving this pistol. I highly recommend it, especially for your intended purpose.
Wow 10,000 rounds and no major problems . That's great to hear . Had a sig mosquito years ago about 7 or 8 . I think about the same round count or very close to 10,000 . In about 3 years and the upper receiver cracked on the left side .
Hey mate, is this a fairly accurate pistol? And would it be any good for target shooting in comps at clubs for 25 and 50 meter shoots and stuff? Cheers.
It is as accurate as I can shoot. I have never shot it from a rested position so I don't know exactly what type of shooting you're planning. For Benchrest pistol shooting there are better choices. For shooting matches like "steel challenge" this is a fantastic choice.
@@buffalosoutdoors awesome! I'm looking at it for club Match target shooting for 25 and 50 meter range! Cheers mate
This seems to be a really reliable rimfire version of a centerfire pistol! I'm changing some parts on a Chiappa 1911-22 and I have to say it's quite junky.
It is very reliable. Whenever I get a new .22 I never know what to expect as many are finicky. This one works well.
Buffalo's Outdoors it seems like in my experience that the Ruger Mark series pistols and Browning Buck Marks usually function pretty much 100% with CCI Mini-Mags and almost all the time with bulk ammo which is what I almost always shoot especially since you can actually get some now. Good review man, enjoy watching you shoot!
Great video,
I bought one after watching your review and a bunch of others. My mp22 shoots high even with the rear sight lowered all the way down. Have you noticed the same with yours ? Thanks
What distance? Where are you holding your sight picture (combat, mid, 6)?
@@melc8049 at about 25m it is very noticeable, over an inch, more like two over my aiming point. I try to use the front sight as the reference point. Another flaw of this gun is the stock sights contrast, they are terrible. I was thinking about replacing them.
@@espcustom If you have used the replacement sights of that style on other guns, then you should. I changed all my carry guns for night sights. Helps in low light conditions and program compliance across the board. You should remember that the accuracy is from a handgun at 25yrds. For me, the front sight dot covers the head of a silhouette at that range. If I'm hitting targets in the 6-8" headzone, that's a bullseye in my book. I normally combat hold (cover the target with the frontsight dot). At closer ranges, like 10yrds and under, I think a 2-3" hit is good. You should hit a binder reinforcement sticker at 15ft.
Can't beat .22
LOL, i have the same pistol with 5 mag.'s too. only issue i have with it is the 60 rd.'s goes soooo fast. lol. i like the full size lil better than my son's .22 compact model. i did put a green pipe front sight to see better. be safe my friend.
I almost bought the compact but after handling the 2 of them I went with the full size. Maybe I will pick up the compact later though. I do really like this gun. Thanks for stopping in!
my son has the compact size and it has a 3 white dot sights. other than that there really isn't much difference between the two. plus with the full size ya get 12 rd.'s . compact only 10 rd.'s. ya going really like this lil pistol and the ease of cleaning it. the trigger gets better over time to. just keep an eye on the roll pins walking out in front of the trigger other than that it's a great pistol to have. it's not a target tack driver but it's a fun pistol that doesn't cost alot to feed it. lol, have a great weekend !
What case is that & where can I get the 15 round mags?
Seems like since the Taurus TX22 and Glock 44 have come out,people have forgotten about the M&P22 and Ruger Mark IV rimfire pistols.I feel the latter two are better.
I still like my S&W M&P full size .22 but lately I find myself shooting the Walther PPQ M2 5" more than any of my other .22s.
Tx22 and G44 are more full sized (comparable to the M&P22 full). The M&P22 Compact is comparable to the Keltec P17, Walther P22, Ruger SR22.
I may be mistaken, however I believe someone said that these pistols are made under contract from Walther, They only have the required about of parts and assembly to receive a Made in USA roll stamp on the side of the receiver. one way or another, that sort of thing can't be avoided in todays manufacturing, also Germany still makes good products. Good review and great video.
The first generation were p22 clones and produced by Walter, s&w updated and took manufacturing in house.
On the side of the gun it plainly says it's made by Carl Walther and that it's also made in Germany. 🇧🇪
I have one of these but mine doesn't have 22LR printed on the ejector port door. Instead, it has DE and two symbols and BD. I purchased it used, and it shoots very well and reliably. If anyone knows what this means, please let me know.
I’m new to this gun but think they are marks to identify the manufacturer which in this case is Walther Germany.
I have the same pistol in the compact version. I love it and no joke my primary use for it is frog hunting. It is a very reliable pistol that my kids can shoot and it has put many a frog leg in my skillet :-)
Oh man I do love me some frog legs!
What about buying this as a self defense conceal carry pistol? My apologies, completely new to guns here.
Having a .22 is better than not having a gun at all but it isn’t what most people consider a self defense cartridge. While it CAN kill or incapacitate an attacker, with out an extremely precise shot placement(not likely for even an experienced shooter in a high stress SD situation) it just won’t do it fast enough to stop someone from sticking you with a knife a few times or bashing your head in. I would suggest the smallest effective SD cartridge to be a .380 hollowpoint designed for SD. Honestly though I would just step up slightly to a 9mm because the ammo is cheaper than .380(more training for same cost), it has better terminal ballistics “stopping power”, and there are more choices on what platform you’d like to buy. .380s tend to be little micro single stack pistols with limited capacity used for deep concealment in light clothes(belly bands), a backup gun(ankle holster), or pocket carry(lazy people) lol. A hotter 9mm cartridge in a larger or heavier gun will actually be more pleasurable to shoot than a snappy light and little micro .380. Where this .22 pistol comes into play is it can be used as a trainer to refine fundamentals of pistol shooting(which is the hardest firearm to shoot IMO). You can build good muscle memory by shooting 2-4 times as many rounds as you would with a 9mm for the same price. Just keep in mind the .22 is a good practice and plinker gun but there is no perfect substitute for training with your actual SD firearms. Hope you do well in your search for a SD gun and welcome to the gun community if you choose to move forward with a firearm purchase. Be safe out there!👍🏻🇺🇸
I'm sure the M&P is a fine .22, and it has always garnered glowing reports. But a few years back when I was trying to decide on a .22 of that ilk for myself I just couldn't get past that flimsy, flexible, plastic safety lever. So I got the Ruger instead.
The safety paddles do look and feel cheesy no doubt about it.
It's not that its flimsy for me. Its that they are too large compared to other safeties on SW guns. SMH Why SW?!
Why are there no .22 center fire pistols?
How would this pistol be for everyday carry?
Considering it's a .22lr it would be a poor choice for self defense, however if it's all that you are capable of using then I guess it's better then a stick, or a rock, lots of training and aim for the triangle.
WHAT ! 👍👍👍👍💙
Guess I need to get a bike so I can use those locks.
Buffalo's Outdoors>Hickok45
WOW! Easy there my friend ;)
Enjoy them both
Is it more reliable than the Walther P22? I heard a lot of people say those are picky on ammo. I have a Ruger SR22P and that thing will eat any ammo I throw at it- Lead, hollowpoint, standard velocity, high velocity, I may have even shot some stingers or yellow jackets out of mine.
I can't say anything about the P22 as I don't have any experience with it. I can say the S&W M&P 22 is as reliable as any .22 semi auto that I've shot.
SW M&P22 vs Ruger Mark IV?
Great idea for a video!
Yeah. How about next week? :)
How much Bro?
is this full size or compact?
Full size.
Buffalo's Outdoors thx
7:17, the will not fire without mag is a needle nose plier while your are taking a crap.... One tang broken off, and it will fire the chambered round after a mag drop...
Amigo quiero comprarla esa pistola mucha más estoy en colombia
Would you consider it a contender as a rabbit and squirrel shooter?
It is certainly accurate enough. There is no reason you couldn't use it for small game or pest.
Man changin your channel.art almost went past the vid lol
Yeah bavk in day when brick of 22 was 5 to 9 bucks, a while there it got outa control, 22 bucks a brick is damn near steal nowadays
Yeah I stocked up at that price!
500 Rounds of 9mm ammo in 2022 will cost around $350.00
Hammer fired? Really?
Yep.
Kinda Dump to have a mag disconnect on this one But not on any of the Other M&Ps, a least Not My 9,40,45, and 2 shields.
Agreed.
But Taurus TX22.
-2019
Errr. You keep saying it's single-action, but it's Double-action only.
I said single action because that's what it is.
