[sig228]

Thinking about one of these for a "fun" gun. Anyone have one?

Neat, but expensive.

Expensive? I'm surprised to hear that comment. $449 at Buds right now.

I consider it expensive compared to similar platforms.

In a .22lr handgun, I'd prefer a revolver or S&W 422 for plinking.
In a rifle platform, a 10/22 can be had for >$200. AR .22lr uppers aren't too much more.

The M&P pistols are neat, but I don't know what I would use it for.

Different strokes, they say.

I really like my S&W M&P 15-22 rifle, so I've thought about getting the pistol.


I would buy the gun in a second but I already own a GSG-5 pistol. Given the chance to swap the GSG for the S&W, I'd do it.
I suspect I'll eventually buy the Smith.

shot one yesterday, I could have bought it slightly used for $370, but I already own the rifle version and couldn't figure out what I do with the this.

Have been enjoying mine; no issues to date. Better accuracy out of the box then a friends 10/22.

$450 is pretty expensive.I paid $150 for my Tec-22 Scorpion and $200 for my Ruger Charger.My Tec 22 worked.

I've got one as well, but never considered recoil was such that it needed two vertical grips!

I plan to get the full sized M&P15-22 first - then would have to look towards the pistol. Not sure I see much functional use for the pistol - just a lot of fun.

Take care all -

I wish someone would make a 50 round mag for this...

I do have a weak shoulder, but in this instance it was much easier to enlist the aid of the bipod grip than getting the Missus to pose for the camera.

Here are some pics of mine. I have put thousands of rounds through it and it's been flawless. My LEO and MIL buddies that felt insecure about training with a 22lr AR shot it last week and loved it.

They're nice, but because of my dislike for the ar's placement of the charging handle I got a ruger 10/22 and put a tactical stock on it. I call it my AK-22 now. Plus R10/22+tactical stock= $300 and the M&P22=$500. $200 can buy a lot of ammo, magazines and other cool accessories.

I'm not sure that I agree with that the philosophy that the M&P 15-22p is really expensive for a rimfire. I shoot my rimfire more than my other guns, and for this reason, I want my rimfire to be really nice.

They are not that pricey. I found one like new in box for 300, and they are a really fun gun to shoot.

i should say, it was the rifle verson, not the pistol.
