I just picked up my new M&P 15-22 yesterday...haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. Anyone else have any experience with them? Any issues I might need to be cautious of? I'll probably have a new addiction, .22LR style!

Super fun gun!

Avoid 3rd party mags- get the S&W brand, $16-17 online, sometimes go on sale cheaper

Mine LOVES federal bulk! Buy plenty!

Got it out this evening and ran 200 rds of CCI Mini-Mags thru it, letting my girlfriend and her 11 year-old son share in the fun. I find the sights to be about dead on at about 15-20 yards, but light was fading as we finished so more "testing" will be required. I got an extra mag when I bought it, but I'll be getting at least 1 more. 25 rounds don't take very long to shoot when you're having that much fun! I hope my M&P15 in 5.56 doesn't get jealous!!

Nice!

But dont be afraid to put the inexpensive stuff through it either.... it'll save your wallet! I prefer the 525-rd federal copper washed rounds.

I plan to use some of the cheaper bulk stuff in the future, I just wanted to break it in using the Mini-Mags.
