This review of the Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 focuses on its utility as a training aid rather than a standalone rifle. The instructor highlights its affordability for practice, but stresses the importance of regular cleaning for reliability. Key training applications include isolating specific shooting skills and serving as a warm-up tool before live-fire exercises with more powerful calibers. While not a perfect AR-15 analog, it offers a cost-effective way to build proficiency.

This episode of the Practical Pistol Show features a discussion on training methodology, specifically addressing a shooter's question about focusing solely on transitions for an extended period. The panel, including Grandmaster Tim, Grandmaster Matt, and IPSC shooter Gaston, debates the merits of isolating skills versus practicing all aspects of shooting concurrently. They generally agree that while focused practice on a weakness like transitions is beneficial, completely neglecting other skills can be detrimental. A balanced approach, incorporating focused work on a specific skill while maintaining proficiency in others, is recommended. The discussion highlights the importance of identifying weaknesses and developing a training plan, but cautions against overtraining or burnout from excessive focus on a single element.
