Without question, 22LR is one of the most enjoyable rounds to shoot. Inexpensive and low-recoil, it is the perfect round for recreational shooting as well as training. Something that has developed over the last several years is companies building 22 versions of the full-size guns. This is not only enjoyable but also provides an excellent training opportunity. Recently, Smith and Wesson hit a home run with the release of the M&P FPC 22LR and M&P 22X.

M&P FPC 22LR and M&P 22X – Full Size Guns in 22LR
Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, the optics-ready FPC has an overall length of 30.375 inches and a compact folded length of 16.375 inches. It features a 16.25-inch threaded barrel. In addition, it comes with a handguard that includes an upper Picatinny rail and M-LOK slots for accessory mounting capabilities. It also includes three 20-round magazines and a fixed 14.5-inch LOP stock with magazine storage. The horizontal folding mechanism of the FPC provides a locking latch to enable secured transport. This mechanism also prevents interference with most top-mounted optics or accessories. Inspired by M&P handguns, its compact grip ships with four interchangeable palmswell inserts allowing users to adjust for comfort. Furthermore, the familiar flat-face trigger design offers a crisp break and reset.
M&P22X
The new M&P22X, also chambered in .22 Long Rifle, serves as the perfect sidearm to the FPC 22LR. Designed with superior ergonomics in mind, it offers a slim grip, low recoil, and a crisp, hammer-fired trigger for a premium shooting experience. The optics-ready M&P22X is built on a full-size frame. It includes a 4.1-inch barrel and a Picatinny-style rail. Additionally, it is packaged with two 20-round magazines that are compatible with the FPC 22LR. In addition to the installed fiber Hi-Viz LiteWave H3 front sight and black serrated square-notch rear sight, this pistol includes a replacement tool. It also comes with additional red, white, and green fiber optics, enabling users to customize their preference.
