I joined the m&p family a while back and added a brand new m&p 22 from Bradis a couple days ago. I finally got her out to the range!! I can't express how much I like this over the mosquito and p22. I don't want to compare it to the GSG1911, because I believe that is in a different realm. While the M&P is also made by Walther, firing it brought out the 'training handgun' experience more than the p22's 'plinker' feel.
I was at first disappointed firing Winchester XPert HV until I noticed how dirty the round was. I was having at least 1 failure to feed per magazine. Then it hit me, MAYBE THIS AMMO SUCKS. I then ran some Remington Golden Bullets through it. Holy cow, 300 rounds through the pipe with one failure to fire, one failure to eject and zero jams. I'd say I'm more than impressed to start. I'll test some thunderbolt and cci next time I'm at the range. My wife also loved it, who put all 12 of her rounds on a 12" target at 25 yards! But she's always beating my groups.
My Alpine is off at Gemtech getting cleaned but I can't wait to get it back and see how this thing cycles with a can and subsonics. The biggest draw to the p22 was the shorter barrel keeping bulk 550 packs subsonic, now I gotta spend the money on actual subsonics to shoot through the can!
Goodcat recommended.
Anyone else shooting one? What are it's favorite ammo types?
