Smith & Wesson M&P22 Compact Illegal in Cal?
I want to buy a Smith & Wesson M&P 22 LR compact pistol but It looks like it is not legal in California due to threaded barrel that allows the owner to attach suppressors on it. Smith & Wesson company is not making a California legal for this model yet and I'm not sure if they will be making in the foreseeable future.
Can anyone confirm this? I might be having a wrong information on this. |

The S&W M&P-22 and M&P-22 Compact have threaded barrels, which makes them assault weapons under CA laws. [PC 30515(a)(4)(A)]
In addition, the S&W M&P-22 and M&P-22 Compact are currently not listed on the Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale. This prohibits a CA FFL dealer in transferring them to a non-exempt person. In the past, the S&W M&P-22CA was listed on the Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale and it was not considered an assault weapon, because it did not have a threaded barrel. But, S&W let them expire off the Roster and discontinued production of them, due to issues with CA DOJ. Currently, S&W has no plans to ever make a CA legal variant of the M&P-22 and M&P-22 Compact. |

I know this doesn't help your situation but I love shooting my MP22CA. Sorry you didn't grab one when you could.(honest truth)
That being said given my current situation I could let it go for the proper dollar amount. All joking aside I really hope you can get a full size 22 MP sometime soon. I love mine it's a great plinker and help me tremendously improve my handgun fundamentals at a good cost. once they are good and broken in mine even shot sub sonic ammo. it's was fun like shooting an air pistol
