    What's the price going to be like on these?

    MSRP is $419 so low to mid 300's... Did he say the barrel was threaded 1/2-28? I expected it to be the same as the P22 so we could use the same adapters... If it's 1/2-28 you'll need a 1/2-28 to 1/2-28 adapter/extension... :dunno:

    Yes it takes the same exact adapter as the p22

    I like that it's closer to full size but I think it's pretty much a P22 without a hammer. My experience makes me think they will be hit and miss just like the P22's and Mosquitos's now.

    Anyone else notice the FTF first round on the second magazine??

    it is full size. They say it will fit in existing M&P holsters, so its got to be full size to do that.

    as for P22s, mine has been a 99.9% gun from the get go. My only failures have been failures to fire, which I've always found to be ammo related.

    looks about the same as the sig mosquito. Even has a fixed barrel that looks just about identical. I imagin it will perform just as well.

    He also stated that it was not a production gun either.

    I think I might look at getting one also!

    Ya he covered that well... smooth. I wouldn't mind having one of these for some very inexpensive practice though.

    Dangit - I was trying with all my mite to avoid buying another 22 pistol. Sounds like a good add to my M&P collection.

    Thanks to the OP for posting the video.

    I've been looking for a .22 to practice with to save on $$ for ammo. This might be the one. The reviews that I've read on the SIG Mosquito and Walther P22 have been so mixed that I don't know what to think on them.
