M&P 22 vs Colt/Umarex. Who came out the winner?

[44terryberry]

Shooting at 100 yard targets today in 95 degrees,with Federal  bulk and CCi subsonic(I happened to have some lying around and wanted to get rid of it). 30 rounds  at each target,both rifles showed a preference for the CCI ammo, especially the S&W.,which shot a 30 shot, 100yard target of nearly 2 inches,with factory sights. The Colts target was no better than 4 inches.,so the Smith was the clear winner this time, with this ammo.As  for function, the Smith was 100%,and the Colt had 2 FTF with the Federal ammo, none with the CCI.But, the Colt does feel more "solid",due  to its  heavier weight.And, it IS a dead ringer for the M-4. Next time, they will face off with CCI MINI Mags...  To be continued....

keep us psoted, wanted to go with 15-22 but the proprietary mags is turning me off...

how many rounds thru the Colt? It smooths up nicely with several hundred rounds thru the pipe...Also make sure the flash suppressor is Tight. The S&W mags function perfectly and are easy to load. All these tactical .22's have their own mags.... :grin:

The only exception being the Sig 522, which uses the same Black Dog Machine mags as any 22lr AR conversion kit.

I don't get the concern over proprietery mags.  A Kahr CW45 mag wont fit anything but a Kahr CW45, so what is the big deal???

Got back from the range,pitting the two at 100 yards with CCI Mini Mags. I had high  expectations, but the truth is the CCI didnt shoot any better than the Federal bulk did. The main difference was, the  Colt felt more "solid",and the Smith would kinda  make a "pink" noise when firing.Out of 50 rounds each, the Colt had one FTF, the Smith zero  problems.
