SMITH & WESSON M&P22 COMPACT THREADED BARREL .22 LR

Description:
Guns Listing ID: 607542



Common problems with the S&W M&P 22 Compact include a notoriously tight factory-installed suppressor adapter that hinders disassembly (requiring force or a special tool), potential failures to feed or eject with certain bulk ammunition, and general .22LR gun sensitivity to \"limp wristing\" (weak grip) or dirty conditions, though many users find them reliable with proper care and good ammo.
Common Issues & Solutions
Tight Thread Adapter (Suppressor Ready Models):
Problem: The adapter for suppressor attachment is often seized from the factory, making disassembly difficult.
Solution: S&W sends a wrench, but it can break; users often secure the gun and use a hammer on the wrench for quick force, or apply significant hand strength to break it loose.
Reliability & Ammunition Sensitivity:
Problem: Like many .22LR semi-autos, it can be picky with ammo, leading to stovepipes or failure to feed, especially with cheap bulk ammo.
Solution: Use high-quality ammo (like CCI Mini-Mags) and ensure the gun is clean and well-lubricated; some issues resolve after a break-in period.
\"Limp Wristing\" (Weak Grip):
Problem: Insufficient grip can prevent the slide from fully cycling, causing malfunctions.
Solution: Maintain a firm, consistent grip and stance.
Dirty Conditions:
Problem: .22LR firearms get dirty quickly, leading to malfunctions.
Solution: Regular cleaning, especially after shooting bulk ammo, is crucial.
Key Takeaway
The M&P 22 Compact is generally well-regarded but requires understanding its .22LR nature (ammo choice, cleanliness) and dealing with the initial, frustrating adapter issue.
