Smith Wesson 14313 M&P 22X 22 LR 101 4 10

About this product

The Smith & Wesson M&P22X is a full-size .22 LR pistol built on the same M&P ergonomics and control layout as S&W's centerfire M&P line, launched in 2025 as part of a push into more capable rimfire training pistols. This SKU 14313 configuration is the 10-round-magazine version, built for shooters in magazine-capacity-restricted states rather than the standard 20-round model S&W also sells.

Why would I want a .22 LR pistol built like a full-size M&P?

The M&P22X is aimed at shooters who want to train on a gun that feels and handles like their centerfire M&P - same general grip angle, similar control placement - but at a fraction of the ammunition cost per range trip. It's also a genuinely usable pistol on its own for plinking, small-pest control, or as a lower-recoil option for new shooters, not just a training aid for a bigger gun.

What are the key specs on this model?

It runs a 4.1-inch threaded barrel with an optic-ready slide, a Hi-Viz LiteWave H3 fiber-optic front sight, and a blowback action built around a fixed barrel rather than the tilting-barrel lockup used on centerfire semi-autos. The frame includes an ambidextrous manual safety, and the threaded barrel comes with a thread adapter so it's suppressor-ready without buying an aftermarket barrel.

Why does this listing show 10 rounds instead of 20?

Smith & Wesson sells the M&P22X with a standard 20-round magazine in most states, but also offers a 10-round-magazine configuration for markets like California that restrict magazine capacity. This SKU is that 10-round version, which means it's already built around the capacity most California buyers will need rather than requiring a swap after purchase - though you should still confirm current roster and compliance status with your FFL, since that can change independently of magazine capacity.

Does the optics-ready slide work with common red dots?

Yes, the slide is cut for direct mounting of today's popular micro red dot footprints, so you can add an optic without sending the slide out for milling. No red dot is included with the pistol itself.

Because it's chambered in .22 LR, this pistol is also a practical option for pest control or informal small-game hunting around a property, not just a training tool - the low report and minimal recoil make it approachable for shooters of all experience levels. The full-size grip frame means it also works well as a range-day pistol on its own when the goal is simply high-volume, low-cost trigger time.

Cleaning and maintenance follow standard semi-auto pistol practices, though rimfire ammunition tends to leave more fouling than centerfire loads, so more frequent cleaning helps keep a blowback .22 LR pistol running reliably over a high round count.

Shooters comparing the M&P22X against other rimfire trainers are usually weighing it against smaller .22 LR pistols built more like true carry guns; the M&P22X leans toward the full-size training and range-use category instead, which is worth keeping in mind if your goal is specifically a compact backup or carry gun rather than a low-cost range companion.

How does the purchase and shipping process work?

As a firearm, the M&P22X must transfer through a licensed FFL dealer - it cannot ship to your home address. You'll complete a background check and any state-required waiting period at the dealer before taking it home. Checkout on this site runs through secure checkout, and FFL transfer fees are set separately by the receiving dealer.
