It’s pretty cool to be able to buy both a rifle and pistol in .22LR for around 1000 bucks. To keep my own training and skills entertained, I shot some suppressed 22LR yesterday, and I can’t recommend it enough.
The look and design of the FPC 22LR rifle is intriguing, and the design of the M&P22X pistol looks really nice. www.smith-wesson.com is the place to visit for a few more details. If you remember, there’s also 9mm, 10mm and .40 versions available of the rifle.

They need to state the weight of it. Those carbines are heavy. Like 8 pounds.
