Overall: The Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 is a great .22 LR rifle that is perfect for training, plinking, or just having fun. It is reliable, accurate, and easy to handle. It is also one of the most affordable AR-15 style rifles on the market.
Pros:
- Accurate: The M&P 15-22 is capable of sub-MOA accuracy with match ammo.
Reliable: I have never had a malfunction with this rifle, even after putting 1,500 rounds through it.
- Easy to handle: The M&P 15-22 is lightweight and easy to maneuver, making it a great choice for smaller shooters or new shooters. Zero recoil and a lot of fun.
- Affordable: The M&P 15-22 is one of the most affordable AR-15 style rifles on the market.
AR-15 controls: The M&P 15-22 uses the same controls as an AR-15, making it a great choice for training purposes.
- .22 LR: .22 LR ammo is much cheaper than centerfire ammo, making it a great choice for plinking or target shooting. You can find good .22 LR for less than 10 cents per round. Compare that with 5.56x45mm or 223 Remington going for over $1 per round.
- Suppressor compatible: Adding a suppressor further enhances the shooting experience by reducing noise and making it more enjoyable.
Cons:
- Not as accurate as a true AR-15: The M&P 15-22 is not as accurate as a true AR-15, but it is still plenty accurate for most purposes.
- Proprietary bolt: The M&P 15-22 has a proprietary bolt, so you cannot replace it with a standard AR-15 bolt.
- Not as customizable as a true AR-15: The M&P 15-22 is not as customizable as a true AR-15, but there are still a variety of aftermarket parts available for it.
- .22 LR: It's not what you would call a defensive round, but I for one would loose all interest in whatever I was doing if I were shot with a few of these.
Conclusion: The Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 is a great .22 LR rifle that is perfect for training, plinking, or just having fun. It is reliable, accurate, and easy to handle. It is also one of the most affordable AR-15 style rifles on the market. If you are looking for a fun and affordable .22 LR rifle, the M&P 15-22 is a great option.
