GUNS Smith and Wesson M&P 10rd Magazine $32.34 OOS

And so it begins...

at first I was thinking, this guy is nutts... there is no way they are selling for $100+ for a 10rd mag.. but you are right... people are retarded :-) I hear our economy is bad, but people sure do come up with a lot of surplus money to spend on non-essential things like a 10rd mag for a 22 pistol at 3x+ retail.... Boggles my mind... but looks to be a good money maker!

what's the lowest they have been? like before the gun buying craze of a few months ago (not since obama since the shooting)

by the time you get them, they will probably be back at the regular price. I have some springfields on order for a month now, a safe for 5 weeks and some 9mm on order and waiting for 3 weeks.

Does anyone know if the M&P22 offers restrike (having the hammer fall twice on the same cartridge)? I know the standard M&P (9/40/45) does not offer restrike, and considering the M&P22 states that it's trigger pull is single action, I'm doubtful. Still, I'm just curious.

$32 is MSRP. I have 3 magazines for my MP22 and I had a hard enough time justifying the total cost of $58 to get those 2 extra mags shipped to me. Here, it's almost $50 for just 1 or $84 for 2 (they get you on shipping, handling, and maybe tax depending on where you are). The people paying $100 dollars for just one of these are either idiots, have more money than sense, or are desperate (for whatever reasons, it's their only/main gun so they need the extra mags).

For a plinking gun, the 1 magazine the gun ships with is all you really need as magazine changes isn't critical in a plinking situation. You shoot 10/12 rounds, reload the mag, shoot again. Reloading the mag takes very little time and lets the gun/barrel rests. It was how I was doing it before the 2 extra mags came in (I'd ordered it with the gun but took some time to come in even though it was in stock when I made the order). Now that I've got the 2 extra mags, it makes very little difference, I'm still spending the same amount of time reloading all the mags with a longer rest period between shoot sessions, makes no difference at the end of the day.

Wow... I just bought 2 32 round mags for 35$

You most likely bought those mags for the m&p15-22 rifle not the m&p 22 pistol.
If there is a 32 round for the pistol let us know.

I paid $58 total for 2 back at the end of December (didn't get it in till last week though). These are made in Germany by Walther and have been in sparse supply since the gun came out (which might by why I think the gun only comes with 1 although there's spots for 2 slots in the case and 3 total if you count one in the gun).

Nope, single action only. I've only had 1 round failed to fire and that was during the first few rounds. racking the slide to reset the hammer just ejects the failed round.

these are .22LR mags for the M&P22.

These are for the m&p 22 handgun, not the 15-22.

Oh... Thats even worse!

Quote from stevetom84 : Cheaper than dirt has the 10 round magazines for the M&P 22 in stock for $32.34. These are hard to find and are selling for well over $100 on ebay. Also, the 10 rounders are easily convertable to 12 round. http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/3-1028542 Grab a gun also has them for $31.11 (shipping included). http://grabagun.com/smith-wesson-...-10rd.html

Thanks for the post Stevetom84. Luckily I stocked up on these before the madness hit. Curious though how to convert to 12 round? I currently get about 11 rds working w/ now adjustments. Any link you can send for the tips?

Andy yes, people are nutz now. My local gunshop actually had M&P15-22's in stock! I had 4 on backorder from S&W direct, but still no luck... they are selling on S&W for about $21 each. My local shop sold them for $28 each. I picked up 8. Sold half on ebay and kept the other half myself... giving me 4 free... challenging to keep the ebay post active though as the cancel them quickly since they classify this as an assault rife believe it or not. Yes a .22. Still ton's of postings make it for this and even regular .223 magazines...

Big vote today NJ Assembly on Gun Law bills... this suxs!!! So does this state! Wish us luck.
