Sparhawk, we require your assistance here.

Gunblast.com lists this gun as having a 4.18" barrel which would make it 106.2mm and importable.

The S&W website does not list a 106.2mm barrel for any version of this gun, however.

Please find out from one of the S&W guys what the "official" barrel length is and if it is in-fact shorter than 106mm; please find out if they intend on making one for the Canadian market.
 
Thanks for the post Sparhawk.
We all would like to know if a Canadian length is also of avail.
Specs on the barrel seem vague.

Considering Sigs rimfires go for about 2/3 of the price of the centerfire AND they can be converted to centerfire, $450 seems a bit high for me but whateva
 
I'll see your $450 and raise you $10... Discountgunsales.com (down in Seattle) has them for $419, so it would be nice if it were somewhere around the same price-point. (Note: their web-site lists the barrel as being 4.25, so there are a lot of different lengths being quoted on different sites.)

I'll be watching this thread, as I've been liking the look of this pistol for a while now. Hopefully it makes its way up here soon!

The only barrel length matters is the one listed by S&W.

4.1" = 10.4cm = 104mm = Prohib

Depends how it's measured.

IIRC (correct me if I'm wrong, folks), Americans measure only the rifling, whereas we measure from the chamber all the way to the muzzle. A lot of guns that are classified as prohibited via barrel length just need to be measured by a verifier to be moved to restricted.
 
S&W could solve the whole barrel length issue by just offering the M&P22 with a longer barrel with a threaded muzzle. How hard would that be for them to do? Not sure what they were thinking when they didn't make this an option for 2012. I sent them a email when the M&P22 first came out about the barrel length issue. Never heard a peep back from them. Would really like to buy one but until they get their act together I guess none will be coming to Canada.
