M&P .22 became very unreliable: clean, new ammo, No mods etc. Suddenly disappointing.
Greetings, a first post. Probation period has officially begun.
Having been a very freq. member of THR, TFL, SKSboards, AKfiles (-yes-) for years and recently SigTalk, Walther Forums plus CZ 'Original', it's nice to be on your website. Am recently retired.
Bought this standard M&P .22 about a year ago, new retail, and except for 'blue box' Federal, it....was... very reliable, approx. 98-100% , depending whether: CCI Minimags, Federal Automatch, even Rem. Golden Bullet. Until now, about 3,000 rds. total used.
Fairly suddenly, and even After a good internal cleaning, No ammo is reliable when pulling the trigger, average maybe two issues per full, 12-round mag. >>Feeding, extraction and ejection are usually fine (98%)<<
Minimags sometimes go 'click' on the first chambered round (or after a few), whereas other brands might shoot a few rds. then go 'click', with the fresh cartridge in the chamber. These cartridges usually work the second time.
Zero mag issues, No mods (as stated before) or alterations. The only dry-firing is when loading an empty mag, or after cleaning. In other words, I try to avoid it.
So happy that my other German guns (9mm), Czech 9mm, Czech 7.62x39, and rifles have had zero issues (but then...they aren't .22LR). Was anything Not clear in the basic description of the pervasive issues?
Any suggestions, critiques or questions are always welcome.
