Anyone own or shot any the of the currently available .22lr AR style semi-autos? I'm looking to get one soon. Considering:

  • S&W M&P15-22
  • Kriss Defiance
  • Tippmann M4-22
  • Southern Gun Co. V/W22
  • Lantac LA-15
  • Hammerli TAC R1

Pros and cons and opinions please. Any others to consider? Thanks all.

They arent made anymore I believe ? But there are some still new ones left in dealers, the SIG 522 in its various configurations.
They are a full size trainer for the 'real' SIG 556 , with a proper barrel (the HK 416 and others have a thin barrel with plastic surround to make it look like a 5.56) folding stock and on the SWAT model quad rails, 16 inch barrel.

The Kriss is a nice gun , but barrel length is a little long.
The M + P Ive never handled , but Im told they are very plasticky.

The Tippman, SGC and Lantac are expensive but quality.

It really depends on what you are going to use it for, a 25M plinker can be served with the cheaper stuff, but if you want something thats vermin capable and accurate ,you need to spend money on a gun with a decent barrel.

A friend has the S&W. He did have to do some experimenting to find out what ammo it cycles though as it is a bit finicky subsonic ammo with CCI being the worst offender. Standard and high velocity stuff like mini-mags are fine. He also struggled to find a sound moderator to stay attached to the barrel too (its a rabbit gun).
