Does anyone--ToddG, perhaps--know if we will ever realistically be able to look forward to a .22lr slide being produced for the M&P? For example, something similar to the excellent Advantage Arms slide for the Glock?

I have a nice .22 Kadet conversion slide for my CZ's, but would sure like to get one for the M&P. A killer combo would be an M&P full-size frame, with a .22lr slide and a threaded barrel (made by somebody like Tactical Solutions).

This is one cool thing about CZ and Glock pistols: with both of them, you can get a .22 conversion option to mount on your favorite .40 or 9mm pistol.

I wish S&W would make their own, or work it out with some company like Advantage or Tactical Solutions to build one of these. Seems like it'd be a easy hot seller: just about everyone wants a way to do cheap practice with their favorite pistol. Admittedly, using a .22lr is never going to give you the same recoil, practice for follow-up shots, and etc., that you get with a centerfire caliber. But still, I want one!!!

I'm not Todd but I did email Advantage Arms and ask them if they had any plans to make a conversion kit for the M&P and they said they did not have any plans to make them.

I would be in for one for my 40c in a heartbeat! Even better if it was threaded for suppressor use in my case. I am hoping for a SHOT show announcement, but not holding my breath either.

I'd buy several myself. Last time this was brought up most users on mp-pistol.com were very receptive.

I'll just be hoping that they remember the compact models when/if they make one! As my primary carry piece it would be nice to practice even more and this would help a ton on my ammo cost.

My best guess is the same place as 2 years ago- just a theoretical concept with no realistic date for production.:rolleyes:

I talked to TacSol about a month ago and they said it is in the idea stage. I am not holding my breath.

What is the deal? Are the M&P people just SOL? How much harder could it be to make the M&P 22lr conversion than the glock....(grumble, grumble)

Oh well, I guess it is not meant to be.

We still have hope that a .22 specific M&P model will be released some time in the next century.

I might be crossing some wires here but i was under the impression that we had CONFIRMED without a doubt that there was indeed one of these pistols on the way...was i wrong?

I also thought there was a confirmation of a .22 M&P pistol (or conversion) from S&W near SHOT. There was no timetable, but with the AR pistol .22 M&P, I would hope that they are coming around with what we want soon.

given the popularity of this new platforum it's inevitable.

isn't Smith and Wesson coming out with a 22 cal M&P?

Alrighty,
Does anyone know if anyone is or will be making .22 conversions for the M&P? I would think that would be a killer setup.

From what I understand fellas there new 'pistol' is a short barreled version of the 15-22 with no stock. I saw a pic of it and it does look cool. It is a disappointment though. I sure was hoping for a conversion or a something very similar to the ACTUAL pistol.
