THE SMITH & WESSON M&P 22X is a modern, full-size rimfire pistol designed to bridge serious training utility with the low cost and low recoil advantages of .22 LR. Built around familiar M&P ergonomics, the 22X combines an optics-ready slide, threaded barrel, fiber optic sights, and 20-round capacity into a highly capable rimfire platform.
Unlike many compact or scaled-down rimfire pistols, the M&P 22X delivers a true full-size feel with excellent handling characteristics for training, recreational shooting, suppressor use, and introducing newer shooters to modern pistol systems.
The lightweight aluminum slide and internal hammer-fired design help keep operation smooth and easy to manipulate, while the optics-ready configuration allows direct mounting of compatible micro red dots for modern pistol training. Smith & Wesson also includes a threaded barrel adapter, making the pistol suppressor-ready right out of the box.
Why the M&P 22X Matters:
The M&P 22X is more than just a plinker. It provides a low-cost training platform that mirrors the handling characteristics of modern defensive pistols while remaining exceptionally approachable for new shooters. The combination of full-size ergonomics, optics-ready capability, and suppressor compatibility makes it one of the most versatile modern rimfire handguns currently available.
Ideal Applications:
- Training: Affordable repetition with modern controls and optics compatibility
- Suppressor Use: Threaded barrel designed for rimfire suppressors
- Range & Recreation: Low recoil and 20-round capacity maximize shooting enjoyment
- New Shooters: Lightweight operation with reduced recoil impulse
- Small Game & Utility: Practical rimfire capability in a modern format
Optics & Suppressor Ready:
The M&P 22X was clearly designed with modern shooters in mind. The optics-ready slide supports micro red dots, while the threaded barrel adapter allows easy suppressor attachment using common 1/2x28 muzzle devices and rimfire suppressors.
