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).
That would be pretty dang cool.
I’d be in for one.
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.
This question came up on the mp forum and Todd said it was in developement, but didn’t give specifics. Good to know it is tacsol
Where are we at on this conversion?
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.
their glock slide is coming out in the summer.
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.
Whoops. Thanks.
FWIW Tac-sol just told me “no” about 5 minuters ago.
