S&W M&P 15 22
We’re still looking into getting a .22 caliber semi-auto pistol. Doing some research today, I ran across an article on Tactical Gun Fan about the new Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 AR-15 chambered in .22LR. I must say that I am intrigued by this nice gun and it’s eye-candiness (is that a word?).
Update: Welcome 2A Roundup Readers.
The S&W webpage describes this gun thus:
The new M&P15-22 is a dedicated M&P15-format rifle designed and built as a true .22 LR semi-auto from the ground up, with all the standard operating features and accessory specifications of a modern-version centerfire M&P15 rifle.
- SKU: 811030
- Model: M&P15
- Caliber: .22LR
- Capacity: 25 Rounds
- Action: Blow Back Semi-Auto
- Overall Length: 33.75″ Extended, 30.5″ Collapsed
- Stock: 6 Position CAR Stock

This nice gun has an asking price of about $500. It’s definitely on the want list, but we probably will wait until we get out of California before acquisition. Still looking for a semi-auto pistol, though.

My guess is that since it’s a new product, it might be hard to find for a while.

I got mine at Academy.

Thanks, Alan.
I will have to check Academy out the next time we’re in El Paso, since that seems to be the closest store to Southern California.

Cabela’s has this gun on sale this week for $429

Man, I wish there were a Cabella’s in Southern California . . .

I want one soooooo badly. My dad thought he was slick saying ” If you want a gun you need to get a .22 first”. I bet he didnt expect me to find something like this. Also I found them for under $400 online just waiting for them to restock.

Looks like as good an entry-level rifle as any I suspect. And California legal too.
