The Smith & Wesson M&P 22 Compact delivers centerfire handling with rimfire economics, featuring a threaded barrel ready for suppressor attachment. This compact frame pistol bridges the gap between training and tactical applications with authentic M&P ergonomics and controls.
What Makes This Different
The threaded 3.6-inch barrel sets this apart from standard rimfire pistols, enabling suppressor use for reduced noise signature. The Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard polymer coatings. Ambidextrous controls accommodate both left and right-handed shooters without modification, while the Picatinny rail accepts standard tactical accessories.
