NEW M&P 22 COMPACT
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (August 12, 2014) — Smith & Wesson Corp. announced today that it has added a new model to the company’s flagship line of M&P® polymer pistols with the introduction of the M&P22 Compact. The sibling of the full size M&P .22, this pistol will be manufactured entirely in the United States by Smith & Wesson.
In addition, if you purchase an M&P 22 between now and December 31st, you will also receive a 222 round box of Winchester .22LR ammunition!
I own a copy of the M&P 22 and it’s a very fun gun to shoot. It’s a gun that people with severe arthritis can manipulate the slide and run the gun as most do with their 9mm and larger caliber brethren.
James Debney, President and CEO of Smith & Wesson, said, “The new M&P22 Compact gives consumers the opportunity to own and experience a unique tactical sporting pistol engineered with premium features that have made the M&P line of handguns a leading standard in the shooting sports. Target shooters, recreational shooting enthusiasts or anyone looking to add more excitement to their shooting experience can now enjoy a compact .22 LR semi-automatic pistol with all the adaptability and versatility that are synonymous with the M&P brand.”
The M&P22 Compact has an MSRP of $389 and ships complete with two 10-round capacity magazines.
