The Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 has drawn more buyers since an October 2013 review and is now sold in several colors and setups. Breitbart News columnist AWR Hawkins has used later versions and reports they still show the maker’s reliability. His daughter who has Down Syndrome long wanted to join her father and sister at the range but found many firearms hard to handle because of weight, recoil, controls, and iron sights. At Scottsdale Gun Club she fired the rifle with control and accuracy and asked to continue. Current rifles use a Magpul MOE grip with M-LOK slots in place of the original AR-style foregrip, and the outing added personal meaning for the family.
