    Many modern rimfires are dryfire safe. I don’t know about the Smiths, but Taurus says that the TX22 is.

    Smith says no on dry fire. Depends on the mfr and model.

    My 22 compact had both the front and back sights of center in the dove tails. I adjusted those and then rested to make final adjustments to the back sight.

    Low left is the shooter most times, but it can be a combination of things. That can be checked testing with a good rest. I have a Glock I shot 1 to 1 1/2" left at 50'. Dead on with a good rest. It did shoot that far off rested before I drifted the sights a little. Definitely me now. Some guns and ammo combinations don't shoot dead center. That is why they make adjustable sights. It is funny how much you see about pistols shooting off with minimal discussion at times about sight adjustment. I can't say I have ever seen threads about why a particular rifle doesn't shoot right on with sights centered. That is because the standard is to rest it to sight in and adjust the sights as needed. After that it's the shooter. With pistols it seems there is very limited application of rested shooting to check accuracy, hold height and sight adjustments before throwing in all the shooter variables.

After a couple mags, he took a close look at the frame & saw that the adjusting screw on the rear sight was missing. Miracle we found it, but there must be another spring or something that is now history. Wondering if its an actual spring or maybe just a bent piece of spring steel.


    He's going to try calling CS & see what they have to say. Man it sucks to have a brand new gun dump on you like that.

    Was thinking about getting one too, but the Taurus TX 22 is looking better than ever.

    This "rear sight issue" seems to be a re-occurring problem for the M&P 22 compact. I haven't lost any parts on mine yet but have needed to (purple) Loctite the screws to keep them from migrating.

    Unfortunately S&W doesn't actually make that gun themselves so there is no parts schematic in the owners manual & S&W is not willing to send out any repair parts to M&P 22 compact owners.

    See S&W M&P 22 compact thread below_____
