first, does anyone know if there is such a thing as a .22 conversion kit for the m&p compacts?



second, i called S&W cs today to ask the same question, and i was told they, as the manufacturer, weren't allow to change the caliber of the gun. i asked why sig does it for my P229? answer, "i don't know how they get away with it. i really don't."



is this BS in it's most obvious form, or is there really some rule/law against a manufacturer changing the caliber of the gun.

I know sigs P250 is interchangable but it is teh trigger mechinism that is serial numbered and registered ad not teh frame or barrels. I am not sure about the 229 but that may be part of it.

It's BS. Kimber sell plenty of there 22 kits for 1911.

S&W is missing a great market place.

 

There is a rumor that Tactical Solutions has a conversion kit for the M&P coming out this year. They already make one for Glocks and 1911s.

The slides on the 9 and 40 are interchangeable I believe, so that would blow the caliber theory out of the water.

 

One of the features of the Tanfoglio pistol line is that the barrel/slide assemblies are interchangeable. You can go from .38 Super to .45 ACP in only a few seconds. The frame (and serial number) stays the same.

I sent them an e-mail not 3 weeks ago and they said maybe someday, but don't hold your breath.

The 9 and the 40?

I thought it was only the 40 and the 357 sig.

I emailed them yesterday, today they replied:

I thought it was only the 40 and the 357 sig.

The 40 can use a 357 sig barrel and the same mag.



The 9mm and 40/357 slides (with barrels) can be swapped between frames.

The also can use the same holster.



The 45acp is the big brother, and they can't swap most parts.

 

I think there are enough people that want this. Someone please make one!

Good to know.

Thanks Likestoshoot.

 

There's one coming - just look at the M&P22 AR. I'm pretty sure they realize how much of a market there is, but I wouldn't rule out that S&W might even collaborate with TacSol to make it (Look at the stock magazines - they're exactly what MecGar would have made for the M&P pistols.
