My first gun. Where to begin? Because of my age, it couldn’t be a handgun. Thanks to a low tolerance for PITA parties and ongoing RTFM issues, it had to be reliable. Money? Money was too tight to mention (although I just did). I eventually put the Smith &Wesson M&P15-22 in my sights. Friends who owned the cheap-to-fire .22 caliber AR sang its praises like Maxim describing Bar Rafaeli . . .
Before pulling the trigger on the rimfire AR, I commuted to my local gun store for extended fondling and familiarity. I boned-up online, and then researched the gun in a farrago of forums, YouTube videos, review sites and official websites. I put my cash down and picked up my M&P15-22 after a mandatory two-day wait.
Thus began my inevitable descent into firearm addiction.
The 15-22 made it home unmolested. You know those cool Springfield XD cases that remind you of a spy movie? The 15-22’s cardboard box goes completely the other way. It has that Sam’s Club “pile ’em high and sell ’em cheap” vibe; which is no bad thing provided the gun does what it’s supposed to do. NRA come-on, manual, laughable lock, 25-round mag, gun. Now how much would you pay? Wait! Don’t answer . . .
Thanks to the United States Air Force (your tax money hard at work) the AR platform and I are BFFs. The 5.5 pound Smith & Wesson M&P15-22 is slightly lighter than a 5.56 M4 but not so light that you wonder if the Smith is the “nothing” to which the “It’s NERF or nothing” tagline refers. The M&P15-22’s polymer construction is solid as you wannabe, with only a slight slight wobble with the stock. [ED: Wobble baby wobble baby wobble.]
In my case the 15-22 dances with an A1-Style compensator (1/2 x 28″ thread). If that’s not for you, you can compensate for the compensator with a variety of aftermarket attachments. How about a suppressor that make the 15-22 quieter than a mute librarian? Just don’t forget to say hello to the ATF.
The Smith & Wesson M&P15-22 comes with adjustable/removable front and rear sights. Like with all railed AR platforms, you can pimp your gun until it’s disappears in doo-dads. Unlike its 5.56 cousins, you can customize your more-or-less recoilless rifle on the cheap. Example given: Airsoft replica red dot/holographic sights. My rifle sports a $80 EOTech knockoff and a $125 quick detach 3x magnifier. Neither loose their zero, even when I’m bump firing.
The 15-22 breaks down like a Diva stuck in the middle of a rainstorm. Remove two pins and the body splits in half. The buffer’s built into the bolt and doesn’t travel into the buffer tube. The trigger assembly is solid. Cleaning the .22 caliber Smith AR is so quick and easy you will actually do it on a regular basis without complaining.
Now the fun part: range time.
The weather: clear with a very light breeze. Ammo: 36 gr, CPHP Federal Ammunition. Target: a 2¼” steel spinning target set out at 50′. After zeroing the M&P’s iron sights benched, I took careful aim and fired a full 25-round magazine. Every round found the target. As you’d expect, recoil was almost as mild as an ant fart (don’t ask me how I know). Follow-up shots were quicker Michael Moore making his first trip to the buffet. Or is that his second?
I fired the next few mags standing. I rapid fired five full mags and landed almost every round on steel. I was about 200 rounds in when I had my first series of malfunctions. Over the span of two magazines I had four stovepipes. I had a misfeed two mags later. I attribute the malfs to the 15-22’s break-in period. At the end of a two-hour shooting session I’d shot my way through 550 rounds with only the previously mentioned malfunctions.
Other than that, the rifle ran like a dream. And since then as well. I’ve put another thousand rounds of different ammo brands through the gun without so much as a hiccup. No issues. Nothing.
That’s no small thing. .22 caliber AR’s are notoriously finicky. While there are advantages to the problem: shooters using a .22 AR to train for a full-size firearm get hands-on experience dealing with malfunctions—there’s a limit to how many clicks even the most determined tacticool type wants to hear. The Smith & Wesson M&P15-22 leaps over this bar like Olympic hurdler Lolo Jones jumping over a playa.
Smith & Wesson have come a long, long way in terms of quality control for their AR products; they’ve brought production back in-house to excellent effect. Still, we’re talking about a $450 plastic fantastic—sorry “high strength polymer upper and lower receiver equipped” rimfire AR. A buyer should clean and run their M&P15-22 with a large variety and quantity of ammo to see what works. If problems persist, Smith has terrific customer care. FWIW.
The Smith & Wesson M&P15-22 has exceeded my expectations on all fronts. It’s set the standard for the firearms to follow. Which sucks. How will I ever find another cool-looking firearm that’s so much fun to shoot that doesn’t break the bank in terms of price of entry or running costs? I think I need a bigger income.

RATINGS (out of five stars):
Accuracy: * * * * *
The 15-22 was surprisingly consistent, regularly hitting 2¼” steel targets at 50′ while standing and dead-on while benched.
Ergonomics: * * * * *
It’s the little brother of the beloved AR carbine and has all the features of its more powerful sibling. The picatinny rail will accept any of the accessories that make your .223 rifle shoot well.
Reliability: * * * * *
I’ve only had one misfeed and four stovepipe jams in over 1500 rounds. With a .003% fail rate, this rifle definitely maxes out on the reliability scale.
Customize This: * * * * *
Being a .22 AR with a rail system, it can accept the gajillion or so accessories.
Overall Rating: * * * * *
The price is just right for this system. For those looking for a dedicated .22 AR platform gun, you’d be crazy not to consider an M&P15-22.
You say you want an Evolution
Well you know
It’s not gonna change the world
But when you talk about twelve ninety-nine
Don’t you know you can count me out
I’d still call it a battle-rifle, but I guess it could go under the MSR label.
Can I order one of those shirts or is that just for you and your employees? lol.
Tony’s Custom Creations is the place! I have bought two double barrel 1911’s and pre-ordered 5 Strike One’s. They were the first to get Arsenal’s products. They are the largest dealer and they treated me great. They put customer service back in the gun industry. Very refreshing. Tony gave me his cell phone to call him personally. Their shop is 405-642-5183. Can’t wait to shoot the strike one!
The AI is sure hating some .40!
I’m going to leave the .45acp out of this because it’s not really comparable to either the 9mm or .40S&W.
Looking at the ballistics 9mm struggles to make 350ftlbs of energy in anything not +p while .40S&W must be downloaded to get below 400 and routinely turns in 450ftlb + results in common standard pressure loads. Standard pressure .40S&W can easily reach 550ftlbs. The 9mm is essentially incapable of this level of performance even with +P+ loads, which result in all the ‘down sides’ that the .40S&W supposedly has; increased wear and greater felt recoil while still failing to match the .40s performance. On top of that the .40 has a greater diameter and deposits more bullet mass than any 9mm. It typically carries only 1 or 2 fewer rounds for the same size platform.
You can say anything you want about ‘modern’ 9mm performance but ballistics don’t lie, the .40S&W deposits much more energy behind a larger and heavier projectile for mildly increased felt recoil in a same size platform with similar capacity.
The 9mm is in fact a subpar cartridge when compared to the .40 in every way except felt recoil and a slight gain in capacity which could easily be rectified with a purpose built .40 that was not intended to be produced as a 9mm as well. A couple of extra oz and a minor increase in grip length would yield a .40 that was as soft shooting as standard pressure 9mm with the same capacity in a platform that was for all intents and purposes the same size/weight.
None of this is even truly debatable, it’s simple the facts of physics and they can’t be overcome or argued out of existence.
I own and carry all three of the ‘caliber war’ cartridges and in a variety of platforms. I don’t have anything against 9mm at all and in fact my current favorite EDC is in 9mm. It’s not that the 9mm is in any way inadequate, rather that it is no match for a .40S&W. . . hate it or love it the numbers won’t go away, the .40 is more effective.
The beauty is that we can all carry whatever we want and don’t have to justify it to each other, only to ourselves. I know when I carry my 9mm XDS that it isn’t as powerful as my .40 USP. I wouldn’t want an XDS in .40 because for me, subjectively the recoil would be uncomfortable. That said, I can’t imagine a beast like the USP in 9mm. The gun is too robust and heavy to bother with a weaker round than the .40, and from the USP very hot .40s feel about like average 9mms do from my XDS. I’ve had the same experience with CZ 75’s and feel (again it’s subjective) that their mass make them an excellent platform for .40S&W while they are over weight and over built to house 9mm. It’s not that 9mm CZ-75 is wrong, it’s just that I can comfortably shoot .40 from it and if I wanted a 9mm that size I’d want it to be a lot lighter. Trading power and capacity for size and weight, or capacity for power, or any configuration of these is what everyone has to do in an EDC pistol. That’s why there are so many options.
So let’s not fool ourselves or attempt to fool each other. The .40S&W is significantly more powerful and effective than the 9mm for a marginal trade off in recoil and capacity. The 9mm is wholly adequate for defensive purposes but is not the equal of the .40, never has been, and never will be.
This was my second rifle. I bought it’s big brother first (M&P 15 Sport) so after a much research and based on the positive review done on this website for it’s value and quality. Later I happened on the M&P 15-22 and I found out that my research might not have been as complete as I thought! This is a great rifle. Light, accurate (at least for me), inexpensive to shoot and it looks just like it’s 5.56 cousin! Both rifles are well made, but the 15-22 is the rifle that sees the most rounds through it. THE AWB in Connecticut is a pain for accessories, but the rifle was worth every penny spent. Thanks for the review!
Fantastic rifle, I have nothing but good things to say about it. I also think it is the most reliable tacticool .22 made right now.
I have both the M&P 15-22 and the CMMG Quebec (now called the M4-LE .22). While I like my M&P, I love the CMMG. It has a really real lower, which I have used with 5.56 and 300 BLK uppers. The CMMG has a far superior trigger out-of-the-box. It also weighs more, and I see that as a good thing. That being said, the M&P is a bit more accurate.
thank you for the excellent review!
I have been looking for a good/great 22, and you just sealed it for me.
I bought a M&P 9mm for my very 1st pistol and fell in love with the S&W brand because of the excellent preformance of that pistol compaired to others that I have since fired with a compairable failure rate to what you just did and I have fed my pistol every kind of 9mm ammo that i could find over the past 2 years.
Thanks again and keep up the great work.
I tell everyone I know at my gunclub about your site and have linked your articles to my friends many times becuase of your high standards and honesty.
The people who comment here are very knowledgeable and for the most part, friendly with just a few trolls.
In the early 70’s I bought a Remington Nylon 66. Since then I’ve put lord-only-knows how many rounds through that gun. I once went about 1000 rounds without cleaning. It finally got so dirty that the bolt would sometimes not fully close, resulting in a misfire now and then. I cleaned it and it returned to its fully-reliable mode. Other than that, I’ve Never had a failure to feed, extract, or eject. Just makes me wonder if quality control is a thing of the past, because I don’t believe in a “break in period” for firearms. Every one I’ve ever had worked right out of the box or got sent packing asap.
if you want an accurate out of the box 22 find a winchester wildcat. even with a cheap scope it’s a match lighter.
I commuted to my local gun store for extended fondling and familiarity. I boned-up online
I understand getting all hot and bothered after feeling up this terrific little rifle, climaxing in this outstanding review, but an online boner is nothing to brag about.
…keyboard… suffering… dying…
It is on my list to get. I bought a 10/22 Takedown instead. A buddy of mine has one and really enjoys it.
Congrats and enjoy. I love, love, LOVE my M&P 15-22. It just can’t be beat for range-time fun. Mine has been utterly reliable until I tried to feed it Winchester 555 bulk ammo. That stuff is CRAP! It didn’t work well in my Ruger SR22 Pistol, either.
My M&P 15-22 feeds Federal Champion like shit through a goose . (I had to add my own simile… it seems you like them!). 😉
I put a Primary Arms red dot clone on mine for about $80. Works very well.
Oh… got the MOE version. 🙂
The low-end Winchester “bulk” ammo is probably the worst .22LR ammo ever made. Period.
Seems a bit bias being as it’s your first and it gets five stars all the away across….Maybe the rifle is that good but this a too much like fanboyism, I bought it, research it, feel in love with it and bought it so it MUST be the best of the best right? right?.
Haha… you never forget your first, eh? 😉
If you look around the interwebz, though, you’d see nearly universal praise for the 15-22. So, this review is a bit of a redundant, “I love it, just like everyone else!” It really is a great .22LR rifle. Is it the “best of the best?” I can’t say. I do enjoy shooting it more than the venerable 10-22. But, I haven’t compared it to any other .22LR rifle.
While you’ve got a point Wiebelhaus, it actually is the best of the best of the best, sir! I’ve run ARs with .22lr BCGs, the Mossberg AR, the Umarex AR and a billion semi-auto & bolt action .22lrs, and the M&P 15-22 is not a classic .22lr jammomatic, it is very to handle for an 8 or 88 year old and with it being so close to mil-spec, I’d say that it probably has more options and upgrades available to it than a 10/22. I know that when we have range night at my place, it’s usually the first gun to get grabbed and definitely gets the most rounds through it among the 30 or so other firearms available. Add a few bits and do-dads (like a JP trigger spring kit and a EOTech) and it’s amazingly accurate to 100 yds and takes any ammo I’ve thrown at it. Life gets even better when you add a can to the end of it. Of all the firearms I have, the best bang or the buck has definitely been the M&P 15-22.
Yes, this was my first but that was a few years ago. Since then I have owned many more guns and have applied what I have learned about firearms to this review. At the time I felt the rifle was near perfect and after shooting other .22 rifles I stand by my original thoughts.
I love my M&P15-22, but this rifle is the best example of the grave injustice that is the California high capacity magazine ban. I don’t mind the 10 round mags on handguns as much. I just buy smaller, more concealable guns since I have an LTC. Take that gun grabbers. (yes there is such a thing as a CA license to carry) The M&P15-22 just begs for high capacity magazine. Mag dumping 10 rounds of .22lr just isn’t enough. I need at least 25 or really the 75 round drum. If I could have a full auto firearm, this would be it.
Small review nitpick, reliability rate is 0.3% not 0.003%
5/1500 x 100
Ordered 4 M&P 15-22 25 round mags Tuesday and they were in my mailbox Thursday, clear across the country!!! Thank You for the GREAT SERVICE, I will be back.
Hitting 2¼” steel targets at 50′ is about as impressive as the sun coming up in the morning. Tell me that you can hit 5 dimes in a row at 50 yards (150 feet) with it, and you will have an impressive gun.
@joe,
if you watch the video (or fast forward to the end of it) the youtube links for more videos in the same player, there is a guy who shoots his steel target at 250 yards with the video camera running and no breaks in the film to prove it.
very impressive with his 15-22!
I have a remington with a Tasco scope I can do that with. With the right scope I have faith the M&P will do that and then some. Going to laser bore sight mine at 150 yards with a high rise scope mount to allow for open sights sighted at 50 yards. Thats how my Remington Speedmaster is set up. I can open sight mid range and scope it long range and it is dead on. That should have me covered 😀
I went into my LGS today to buy some ammo. While I was there I thought I’d have a gander at an M&P 15 22. They had one, it felt really cheap to me, to light and brittle feeling. Right next to it sat a Colt M4 22, all metal and feeling like a real M4. I walked out with it for $350…couldn’t pass that up. Look forward to getting it out on the range.
you might have saved a penny, but you’ll be in for a lot more than a pound when you try to find accessories. the colt/walther/umarex has many proprietary components, while that m&p is almost completely mil-spec; that means almost any upgrade, from furniture to drop in triggers, are readily available. try that with the colt…um, nope. nevertheless, enjoy it! 🙂
holy hell! I just looked at the dates, and realized these posts are from 5 freakin years ago! deedeedee lol…oh well, keep on plinkin on!
The MOE version for me in FDE, because I live in the desert.
This thing is FUN. I must say that the trigger is very good with a crisp release and a short reset. I wish all AR triggers were this good out of the box.
Out the door with this and a brick of .22 for a tad under 600 dollars may have been some of the best firearms money that I have ever spent. The Magpul parts alone are close to 200 dollars with a six position stock, folding MBUS sights and pistol grip all from Magpul.
I did have to clean it after a couple of bricks but only because I felt a little guilty about it. So far it is utterly reliable with various ammo brands although I do only use high velocity stuff in it.
Sadly, I think that this may have replaced my Marlin 39A as my favorite rimfire rifle.
I’m glad to hear it’s reliable. Have you shot any groups at 50m or 100m? I should think it would be simplicity itself to mount glass on a flattop AR. That’s why the configuration was created, wasn’t it?
I opted for the Performance Center version. Far better trigger, more accurate threaded barrel. Different grip and stock. Well worth the extra ~$75
It is a favorite. I use it a lot and plink steel targets at 110 yards. Fun!
Apparently Patrick got his “first gun” before getting to whatever grade where his school teaches percentages. Five failures in 1500 rounds is 0.33%, not 0.003%
Fired my 15-22 for the first time today. Used Winchester Wildcat and some subsonic ammo (both on the “avoid” list in the user manual) and it fed perfectly, only problem was with the subsonic the bolt didnt hold open after the mag was empty. Which isnt a huge problem. Best ammo was M-22 by Winchester. Made for large mag capacity auto -loading .22s. 1 FTF out of around 400 rounds. On the whole a fun shooter that gives you an AR experience at a .22 plinker price.
asnine.
just purchased my m&p 15-22 put about 250 rounds through it without a hitch. I recently put a nikon P-223 scope ( 8 inch) fits and works great about ( $ 195.00 with mounts) i would reconmend this rifle and scope to anyone
Recently purchased a M & P 15/22. Out of the box it has an interesting flaw. Whenever the gun is fired the safety cycles from fire to safe. To fire the rifle again
it is necessary to manually cycle the safety from fire to safe and back to fire. Never seen this before on a firearm. Will return the gun to smith & wesson and see what they can do with it.
Hopefully Smith&Wesson can fix that flaw for you. I’ve shot about 500 rounds so far without any problems. Very accurate out of the box. I’m very happy with it. I have a Bushmaster 5.56 and a DPMS 7.62 but since the price of ammo went up I decided to shoot 22lr . Now 22lr are hard to find and when you do its not that cheap either. Still cheaper than 5.56 or 7.62 though . I think after you get it fixed you will be very happy with it .
Keep up the good fight against the bad legislaters ,California.I am a native Californian who left there 30 years ago cause I saw the handwriting on the wall.Now I live in Nevada and I love it .I gave up the beaches of California for the Mountains,Fresh Air and Beaches of Lake Tahoe.And,because I live in Nevada ,I can own a a Full Auto Gun with a suppressor ,I carry a 13 round 45 and a 14 round 380,I can open carry or conceal carry.We don’t have much gang activity and because most Nevadans carry crooks don’t try it.I can own as many as many as I want and NOTHING ( except full auto ) is registered as that is Illegal according to FEDERAL LAW ,(firearm owners protection act of 1968,Article18, chapter 926a)which California conviently ignores.
I very much hope and pray those who sued Illinois and Won,Sue California and win.Keep the Recall efforts going and get some of these Treasonist Aholes ,passing these “personal agenda”laws kicked out.
AND PLEASE,don’t let those bastards move over here,GOD FORBID!

This is what I carry. Note the hump on the back. A tiny bit of the hammer sticks out and can be easily cocked but will not catch on your clothing when drawn. It can even be fired double-action through a coat pocket, the hammer will not catch on the cloth. Fits nicely in a trouser pocket and weighs 1lb loaded.
If they put a hammer shroud on this Ruger piece it would be a real winner. Especially the .22 mag version.
Here is my take on it. This is by far the craziest trade i have ever made all because i want this caliber of weapon. Traded one used Glock 23 with four mags and night sights. Even trade. Bought factory FNH ammo at Gander Mt. for $30 for 50 V-Max tounds and i need to set up the rails. Is this a good deal or not and how would one carry such a beast? I will buy two more mags and another box of ammo and i hear i need to clean it then shoot it then clean it again. i figure some kind of special holster for carry and a perfect bug out gun to shoot breakfast, lunch or dinner. Looking forward to shotting it. Just plain black but solid.
Thanks for any thoughts or ideas,

I think this is one of the most vital info for me.
Admiring the hard work you put into your website and detailed information you provide.
It’s good to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same unwanted rehashed material.
Excellent read! I’ve saved your site and I’m including your RSS feeds to my Google account.
If y’all wanna make it fire automatically, buy a slide fire! Look it get and then get one along with a 75 rd drum mag!
For most up-to-date information you have to visit internet and on the web I found this website as a most excellent
web page for most recent updates.
I our family we have plenty of daughters… and one boy. The boy is all into “spray and pray” for shooting “because that is how its done in Black Ops”… (ugh). The girls however are plenty happy with bolt action and taking time to learn how to shoot with good marksmanship skills and are far more accurate than their brother. Last weekend we picked up one of these rifles after our son said he didn’t want to go shooting because we have boring rifles that aren’t in “Black Ops”. So we went to Sportsman’s Warehouse on the way to the range and picked up a M&P 15-22 (the girls chose pink camo for the design). All the girls, wife and I fired it, a few hundred rounds total… and all loved it. It is pretty darn accurate too. Naturally when we got back our son was miffed that he didn’t get to fire it… and of course that it was pink camo and that is NOT how it is in “Black Ops”… lol. Get over it boy! We had a few jams but that I think was due to the first round not being set right in the magazine. I think he will suck it up and later fire it and have plenty of fun just like the rest of us had with it. We’re happy with the purchase and can see that this will save us a bundle on ammo. I can’t afford more 223 at the rate my son likes to shoot it… lol. So… the kids blowing a few hundred rounds of 22LR in a day is no big deal. That saves the 223 ammo for mama, the girls and myself.
I just took my new M&P AR15-22 to the range for the first time. Over 500 rounds of various ammo and not one failure to feed, jam or stack. I love this little thing. Now if I can get the new optics zeroed it will be perfect.
Just picked one up ($360) to practice with instead of the big brother (15T). .22 is still far cheaper than .223. Looking forward to the first trip to the range.

Nice to know…
I have 2 customized 10/22s and an MP15-22. It’s pretty much a toss up as to which I like best. Here’s my take:
Accuracy: Almost identical on all 3. Shoot quarters at 50 yds with iron sights. Good enough for me.
Reliability: Almost identical on all 3. They rarely fail aside from the cheap ammo I run through them.
Trigger: My 16″ 10/22 has a BX trigger group, which seems about equal to the MP15-22; The other 10/22 has a KIDD trigger group which is superior to the MP15-22.
Aesthetics: I’d say equal. One of my 10/22s is a complete M1 Carbine Conversion: Stock, sights, strap, magazine, and it feels and looks really good. My MP15-22 has a large non-ventilated heat shield that looks like a silencer and makes the barrel look shorter. Really very pretty. The 10/22 has more modification options, of course, but if you specifically want to convert to AR-15 mod the MP is more realistic and will be cheaper in the long run than converting a Ruger 10/22.
Cost: A stock Ruger 10/22 is about 100.00–125.00 cheaper; however, if you upgrade to a BX trigger and put some DECENT sights on the 10/22, both of which I’d say are badly needed, it will approach the price of an MP15-22.
I really can’t say which I like better. Each has its advantages.
Opted for the MOE version, looked at a lot of conversion kits and uppers but they all seem to have a rather spotty reliability record, so for a dedicated AR in .22 it was the M&P.
Haven’t run this gun yet, but if you’re looking for a decent gun, That’s fun to shoot (though, admittedly, slower), try the mossberg patriot .270. I got mine for $349 (traded my beretta, so I paid a total of $49), and for $20-30, I get a box of 20. A bit pricey, but it’s fun, powerful, versatile, and above all, reliable. I’ve run a total of about 100 rounds through it, even letting the barrel heat up by firing 2 mags (5rds) back to back without a cool down period. Yes, accuracy suffered. However, it still functioned. Overall, I’d give it a solid 4.5/5. Could be a little better on recoil absoption (the should will be sore after a day at the range with it). And since I didn’t have a scope, a cheaper price would’ve been nice. But, I love it. (Mind you, I got it with a kryptek camo on the stock, fluted barrel and bolt.)
just got one. Mine sucks have to send back. Will not run on any ammo I tried.
