I paid $349 for my S&W M&P .22 semi auto pistol, but I recently saw them advertised at Budsgunshop.com for $328.

IMHO, the S&W M&P 22 and the Ruger SR 22 (slightly lower price at $315) are what I would classify as trainer/plinkers.

If you're looking for a trainer/practice .22 pistol, I don't thing you can go wrong with either the Ruger or the S&W.
