This is a great firearm platform for the .22 magnum, S&W hit it out of the park with this one. I love mine!
I own the Kel-Tec PMR-30 and now the Smith & Wesson 22 magnum both are great guns. I will say though with the Kel-Tec right out the box I was having feeding and failure to eject issues and I had shot over 300 rounds of CCI 40 grain ammo. Reached out to Kel-Tec sent the gun back, no cost out of my pocket and they resolved my issue's.With the Smith&Wesson I've shot just a hundred rounds so far with no issues. I love both guns very fun to shoot
Gun of the year is going to be a 22mag pistol??? Who would have ever imagined this a few years ago!!!!!
What u mean the PMR-30?
Me
Actually it only occurred to me when I got my wmr cylinder for my heritage, 3 reasons, size, price, and power of rounds
@@nodescriptionavailable3842 Reloading, my man.
@@nodescriptionavailable3842I’m with you, I put that WMR in my Heritage RR and man was I pleasantly surprised, what a mea ass little round. And my rifle uses the same ammo and of course it’s even meaner out of a rifle. 🐾✌️🇺🇸
I've watched several videos on this pistol. Some have had failure to feed issues ( but infrequently). There is a commonality in ALL the videos.....a giggle followed by a big smile. Enjoyed your video.
I love the way I can hear you giggle sometimes when you mag-dump that thing!
I was kind of on the fence about this new 22 magnum but after watching your video, I’m gonna be shopping for one. Looks like a great gun. 😊
I held one the other day and the trigger break and reset are fantastic. I'm going to be getting one real soon.
The reason for the fireball is because the 22 WMR was initially designed for a 17 inch rifle barrel, so the powder is going out the end of the pistol barrel while it is still burning. The pressure for the WMR and 22LR are exactly the same at 24,000 psi. I've got the 3 22 Mags in the safe (revolver, semi pistol, semi rifle) Looks like I might soon have another. - Also need to get a lever gun in 22 wmr.
got the Ruger bolt, scoped , dont know if they still make, rotary magazine, this might become its sister
So a 22 lr and .22 magnum have psi 😮
@@Limejuice305 Huh?
@@Icutmetal the same psi
For example, if someone shoots your tire with either .22LR or WMR, the resulting psi will be the same. As to muzzle energy, Magnum is over doble that of LR.
Interesting! Right now, my .22 magnum is an older Harrison & Richardson revolver with a 4 inch barrel and I love it!
I love my Taurus 942 in 22 Mag revolver 8 shot. Handles very smooth.
You Sir, I am sure that you were put on this earth to cost me money - endlessly! Great video, as always! 🇺🇲
For a 22WMR pistol, I recommend shooting Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel 40 gr JHP. It is actually designed for the shorter barrel. You get less fireball because it burns off in the barrel. When shooting a pistol with ammo designed for a rifle, you get a lot less velocity and a much bigger fireball.
I have to wonder what Speer has done to claim it's designed for a shorter barrel. Or is it just marketing to catch the recent introduction of new WMR's hitting the market. Not putting them down but the only thing would be the powder, it seems.
@@jimbosammy4255 yeah, they use faster burning powder like 300 whisper or 300 blackout
The fire ball is insane
I have my M&P 22 magnum, started out a little shaky but after 80rds smooth as butter. I'm now running Hornady critical defense 45 grain.
By the way, Julie Goleb has a video out on this pistol that includes a list of ammo that functioned well during testing by S&W.
very happy with my wmp the controls…THE CONTROLS!!! having half a thumb on my left and dominant hand the mag releases!!! and love the trigger pull I throw tacks with that meat wagon
This is the video I've been waiting on since I heard about this gun. Very much ready to find one in my local gun store.
Looking forward to the 22 mag comparison video!
Just picked one up about a week ago and it shoots the heavy stuff great! The lighter stuff not so much. Still, it's a great gun with more power than I would have thought. I lubed it up some and it ran the light stuff too. Drops steel plates just fine. Not as serious as my 10mm but that is a different animal all together.
Love your vids Brother, I always find them very informative & fun to watch. Keep up the awesome work you do. Peace & God bless🤠🙏🙏🙏
I WANT ONE!!!
The 1st firearm I ever shot was the 22mag back in the 70's, so obviously my 1st love.
It would be interesting to know what the actual velocity is coming out of that handgun. The listed velocity is assuming a longer barrel like you would get from a riffle. I have had a Kel Tec PMR 30 for a few years and have put a few thousand rounds down range without any failure to feed. The keep is properly loading the mags. I look forward to seeing a head to head comparison between this and the PMR 30. This looks like it was inspired by the PMR 30.
@davidmack4185 Yeah, I'm having a bit of a hard time believing him, but will give the benefit of the doubt because internet. Rimfire in general is likely to malf sooner or later due in no part to the gun, at the very least. I have two Kel-Tecs- KSG and RDB. The former is picky with shell brands/types and the latter ran 2k rounds flawlessly until the hammer snapped. I like Kel-Tec, but don't trust their guns one fat smidge.
I've heard the same negative thing you said about the old Walther PP series- expensive and not always reliable, but they sure look cool! I don't have one, but do have some cheap Hungarian clones of it- Two PA63s in 9x18 and one in 380. After Wolff Spring ugrades to them, none have failed. Maybe a spring upgrade for your Walther is in order.
The wisest thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that don't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in gold, silver, and digital currencies (BTC, ETH...)
@rathanaroy303HOW !! I know it's possible , I would appreciate it if you showed me how to go about it .
@rathanaroy303Please , how can someone get to speak with Mrs Deborah Lee clark!! ?
Investing makes up the top-notch hemisphere of the wealth. That's the more reason one should save and invest to secure profit and ensure success.
I believe for sure she 's the best in this
Cryptocurrency trading. I've heard a lot about her success
@rathanaroy303THANK YOU SO MUCH. I HAVE CONTACTED HER NOW, AND SHE RESPONDED.
I think the problems with this gun is the mags, I know loading the kel tec mags is kinda tricky and when I have failures it’s usually my fault loading the dam mags lol. Thought for sure u we’re going to touch on that… great video as always plinkster👍👍
Just picked one up and tried it, love it! Accurate, and man what flames! 🔥
Your camera got the best part of shooting a 22 mag pistol, the flash!
Looking forward to your comparison of this Smith and Wesson, the Walther WMP, and the Kel Tec PMR30. When you do that please include a discussion of how easy or difficult it is to load the magazines without causing a rim lock.
Great video,
Big fan of .22Mag. I have many. I carry a NAA 22Mag. I do think to many under estimate this round. I have the same Riton Optic on my Ruger MarkII and love it. Boe
Great review, thanks for sharing. The first one I saw caught my eye. After seeing this it is on bucket list for my gun of the year.
If you ever get to Florida look me up. I am south of Tampa in Sarasota some of the best Tarpon fishing and big snook so come on down.
I had a Taurus 8 shot with first wife, she kept the pistol, I kept the 1000 plus rounds of ammo when we split. I've wanted another for years but in semi auto, and just hated the look and feel of the Kel tec. If not for cancer this looks like a winner I'd like to own, what a life lesson, get what you want when you can cause tomorrow might not happen. Great review, got a subscribe from me.
@22pIinkster Lucky winner? Can you please explain?
@@feohdragon1, that may be a fake profile from a scammer.
It also shoots hornady 22 mag ammo pretty well, no issues. thanks for the video.
Plinkster is as Plinkster does! Fun video. Thanks.
Love the blast effect on this thing. Think I'm going to get one.
I love mine, we shot 100 rounds through it and we're laughing the whole time...we had so much fun. No recoil and you could drive a tack at 20 yards...so crazy accurate.
This may be the best 22 mag semi auto pistol. But, I have a KelTec pmr30, I like it,it shoots my ammo I buy. If the S&W OR WALTHER HAD been out when,I,purchased my 30, I would have compared. I have some S&W and a Walther both 22 lr and 38s, but, I neither buy because of name or someone else’s recommend. That’s just me and I wish all 22 mag pistol/revolver buyers the best, much fun, and a happy journey in,life. Oh, plinkster, keep up the great videos. Oh my Remington 597 22 mag rifle is great too!
Maybe a little decibel comparison between the 9mm and the 22 mag? It’s definitely shooting out some huge fireballs! Great video as always
Yes decibel comparison please.
Loud vs louder
@@davidmack4185 Another potential issue is that rimfire does not have the shelf life of centerfire ammo.
Hoooo boooy yo the man I picked me 1 up yesterday. Have been a pmr 30 guy forever. Bit I can say s&w has knocked it out with this baby man its a fine 1 may have to sell the pmr 30 great vid KEEP THEM COMIN my friend.
I own the kel tec pmr 30 and love it. I am looking forward to your three gun review.
So...I used to have a Keltec PMR30. Really loved that pistol. And while you could get a threaded barrel, Keltec said No Go for using a suppresser. I haven't done an ounce of research on this pistol, so just gonna ask. Can you get a threaded barrel for it and can you use a suppressor? If not, that's a deal killer for me. Thanks for all the great videos!!!
i have a RIA 22 mag and really enjoy it. Run some different ammo through a chronograph and the numbers are slower than posted on the boxes. The numbers were closer when I used a 22 mag bolt action. Steve
It’s because they print rifle barrel velocity on the boxes, some rifle cartridges ammo makers are so deceptive they don’t even tell you barrel length of supposed velocity claims. It could be 16”- 20”-24”
I like 22 Magnum and I have a rifle and pistol chambered in 22 WMR.
You are gaining 40 ft lbs of energy in a 5" pistol barrel 22 mag over a 22 LR.
It's significant.
But 22 WMR really shines out of a longer barrel; doubling and nearly tripling the energy of 22LR.
Ballistics by the Inch has great test data.
It's worth thinking about.
Great video and review! I’m pretty sure this is my next purchase!
I was looking at this on Yoki Stirrups video....I like this pistol, and love the caliber too.
Wow. That’s a really nice Gun. I like the way it did.
Your mic is insanely good at picking up the timber of the gunshots
It sounds and looks awesome and it looks like it feels awesome to shoot
Glad I saw this I'm going to get one for sure. Have you tried any Armscor ammo ? I use it in most of my semi autos and revolvers and have great success with it but it seems to get bashed on you tube quite a bit.
I was curious about this pistol. I have a Walther WMP .22 Mag and love it!
I'm in love with my Walther WMP as well. 15 Round mag limit is fine considering some States like Colorado have a 15 rd mag limit, so don't see me buying a S&W to take back to Colorado when I visit my family there.
Looking forward to the comparison video. Thank you.
First review that has a decent recording of the muzzle flash!!
I think the trouble some are having with this is hand placement preventing the slide to come all the way back. But who knows? I’ll be looking for one.
Great to see the 22mag. Market expanding
Dave... You're welcome.
I told them last week when SW posted their video that they needed to get one in your hands asap.
Ok, i know, they probably sent it to you several weeks ago. Hopefully they let you keep it. That let sootch keep his.
This pistol is a luxury, a dream come true!
This & the Springfield Echelon is my next pistol!!!! What a fun kick ass pistol!! The only thing is the price of .22 win mag, I have been buying it non stop almost 3 years, I have a bolt action wimpy 5 round magazine .22 win mag to match my son's .22 winchester Rascal!
I would like to have seen a chronograph test for velocity. I'm curious what the .22 magnum is out of a semi-auto handgun vs a rifle?
Just bought a Single 9 and a Henry pump in 22wmr. Guess I have to get this next for the trifecta.
Wish you had talked about the magazines with a rimmed cartridge. How they fit, any issues loading...
One of my favorites was the Ruger 22mag. peacemaker!❤.
Just got one a few weeks ago and was really excited. Remington ammo jammed like crazy (FTF) and so did Federal 50 grain HP. I did some honing of the bolt face and the ramp then the Remingtons feed now but Federal 50gr ammo is still a no go. Hornady 30-40 grain ammo works just fine. CCI 40 grain ammo is great too. Magazines are flimsy plastic. I can only get 29 rounds in mine with any brand of ammo and I suspect the mags could be a cause of feeding issues. Accuracy at 25yds is nothing to brag about. My trigger is a lawyer trigger. It's, heavy with creep and a lot of travel on the reset. I love the pistol in that caliber but a little more work needs to go into that pistol. S&W - plastic mags?? Come on Smith! I see some have had better experiences and mine may be a fluke but I am NOT happy with my M&P 22WMR - yet!.
I have one question. I just ordered an identical red dot to the one you were using. I was wondering if you needed to order any type of plates, or anything else in order to make it fit on the Smith and Wesson 22 mag. I ordered the mounting kit along with the red dot, which basically looks like all it has are the numerous different size screws available to fit pistol. I didn’t get plates or anything like I did with my other Smith & Wesson‘s, so I was wondering if that show is the install. I would hate to get my new red dot and not be able to mount it. Lol. Thank you in advance.
Looks like the PMR 30, loves this tac driver!
Great little setup!
Reminds me of the Keltec 22 wmr that holds 30 rounds.
1:59 look forward to the comparing!
this is the 3rd keltec that s&w has straight knocked off.....but better. lol. weird time to be alive.
@@DieselRamchargerS&W saw how well it paid out for Ruger.
@@tangolima6462 keltec has great idea....if only they worked. i call that a golden opportunity. though the foldy 9mm carbine thing i feel looks atrocious. This Near PMR30 seems pretty nice though.
The S&W 22 magnum uses a gas system with the barrel in a sleeve. A variation of the S&W 5.7. It is not a copy of the Kel-tec.
@@andrewgee241 jesus christ you are dense.
Wow that's a pretty cool gun thanks for showing me down or showing us hey I was wondering what a 22 magnum through a rifle be good enough for ground squirrels at 100 to 150 yd or should I stick with a 204 Ruger just wondering
Looks like a fun gun to try. 9mm is the same price as 22wmr ammo where i live.
Looking forward to the walther comparison!
Your smile says a lot right off the bat
If you get a chance would love to see a review on the new Springfield .22 rifle.
Keltec is the beta tester for the industry lol. Glad to see SW came out with this 😊
Plinkster! Nice review. Good job on your success. I would love to get one of these .22mag's I would like something a little more compact as a backup. Is there a compact version of this s&w?
Can't wait to get my mits on one of these. FYI, when you were shooting the 30 grainers a few shots did not have the tell tale fireball. Why do you think that is?
The fire ball on that thing 🔥👌🏼
Did you say you had CCI A22? My favorite 22 mag ammo. Where are you finding it? Haven’t seen any since the pandemic. Oh and yeah, I bought one of these M&P 22 mag too. Shoots much better than my Keltec PMR30. Fits perfectly in my M&P 5.7 holster.
What are the various muzzle velocities out of the handgun, versus the "advertised" MV for rifles?
I've seen mixed reviews as well, don't know yet. I'll want the 648 first then look into getting this one later.
It’s the gun of the day I’ve seen two videos and one just got there’s so one more in a few days.
@22plinkster__ really
I like the new barrel system that S&W have developed,, I wish that the Canadian Goverment reverses their ban on handguns. On another note, I have been wanting to get one of the rsm's complete mini 50 kits. Do you know if they are still around? Their web page has not been updated in some time and there is no mention of the acessories for the mini 50, like the muzzle break. I have sent a few emails but recieved no replies
As with my RUGER Single Six using .22 WRM it is a LOUD cartridge - anode yeah, has a muzzle flame.
Yeah that's a loud pop! 😲
It also appears to have as much recoil (or more) as the 9mm.
I like it because of the capacity 31 rounds wow and the low recoil and with that barrel length I think it's not as loud as the 9mm
Would like to see S&W come out with a 22 mag carbine, similar to what kel tec did with the cmr30.
My next .22 magnum. I have the keltec PMR-30, Bond Arms snake slayer, High Standard derringer and Ruger 10/22 .22 magnum. I like the .22 magnum...fun round at bullseye because of the fireball and its loud at an indoor range....lol.
I have a smith 29 and this one i wanna buy the 29 is big heavy and I want to step down and this one speaks to me 2x the ammo half the size good stuff
I've owned a PMR 30 for several years which is a fine little 22 mag. in my opinion.....however, this is a new deal all together. I'm getting one very soon and I can't wait to try it out. Since this is a hammer fired gun the trigger is much better than the Kel tec.......I tried it yesterday. Thanks for the video Plinkster.....good job as always man!
My pmr30 has a great trigger.. plenty clean, crisp enough for a target/hunting pistol.
@@SLOCLMBRu must be the only one cuz the trigger on my is trash.. usable, but trash
Get Your Facts strait my friend, the PMR30 is also a Hammer Fired Handgun! This S&W, I'm Sure is a Fine Quality Gun But Just a Copy of the PMR30 which is Now a Proven Great 22Magnum Handgun! "Greatest of all Time", I don't Think So!
@@stevekatz4372 You are correct that the PMR 30 is a hammer fired gun. I did not have my facts 'straight' on that. However is is not a copy of the Keltec. It has a totally different operating system....if its a copy of anything it would be of their M&P 5.7, which, I believe, has the same Tempo shrouded barrel system. Time will tell as to whether it's the 'Greatest of all time' I'm sure.
I always have liked .22 magnum. CCI Maxi Mag
I jave a question! I just picked up my S&W 22 mag and it shoots awesome. My question is whats keeping Smith and Wesson from machining an exchangeable barrel for 17HMR like springfield does with rhe 9mm and .40 cal?
Enjoy your channel!!! When a manufacturer loans you a firearm to review, do you have to go through an ffl?
22 mag is pretty powerful I like it! like the cal. as well Its a great round
Grear shooting!! Just picked up one of these new S&W .22 Magnums. Would you let me know exactly which Red-Dot you are using on your pistol?
Great review enjoyed it thanks
When you compare all of the .22 WMR pistols, please spend some time on the magazines and their reliability.
My PMR-30 runs a lot better thanks to MCARBO but the magazines can still be a pain.
Reminds me of the HK-P7 using the gas to insure lockup.
Just got one a week ago. Do you know what Red Dot will mount on it without using an adapter plate. Thanks for any help.
Can someone explain to me why some rounds(all the same ammo in the magazine) have big ass muzzle flash and some are just a mild gray dust poof, while hes firing in succession at the beginning? Id like to know so we can figure out a way to duplicate the lower flash signature.
Big fan of the .22 magnum round and love my Keltec PMR-30. Sure would love to see Ruger bring back the 10/22 magnum.
I have long been a big fan of the .22 Magnum, initially because it was the caliber most suited to my wife being able to use a gun (she's not lived a "gun" life, unlike me - I've been target shooting since my days at Boy Scout summer camp, back when Kennedy was President), but I also like the idea of a .22 magnum as a home defense weapon. Plus I like to shoot it. This looks like my next handgun. I have a M&P EZ in .380 as it makes a lot of sense. I'm pretty much converting all my pistols to ones that have an easy slide to rack, even with arthritis in my left hand (being old sucks, but it beats the alternative), and if this puppy is relatively easy to rack, then I'm all for it.
Some of my favorites, such as my Walther PPK, are not made for old guys with a touch of arthritis. It "pains me" to have to either retire these or just keep them around for fun and for their look and feel. Yeah, when I've got it and it's loaded with snap caps, I'm reliving my James Bond days, big-time.
Would you recommend it for someone's first handgun?
I’d recommend a revolver. I shoot both revolvers and pistols, but if I had to have only one type, I’d go revolver. Easy to clean and reliable. If it’s 22 mag your interested in, Ruger’s LCRx is awesome.
when do you think you will put out the video that will compare the M&P 22 mag to the Walther WMP, i would like to see which is the best of the two...i have the walther and i am trying to decide if i also want the smith...
KelTec PMR has been out for years. Great gun.
Definitely buying one!!! Thanks
What red dot modles/makes for rim fire pistols do you use?
What is the optic on the M&P 22 Magnum? I know it's not the Tactix PRD2. I have tried several but none will fit.
