As much as I like the idea of this thing having a threaded barrel I'm not convinced it's a deal-breaker. The more you mess with suppressors, especially 22 suppressors, you realize they require more maintenance and are more novelty than high-volume items. I've got one of the full-size M&P 22's with a thread adapter. For me, the gun works well in both roles:
1. Suppressor host
2. Rimfire trainer for service pistol
Even though I shoot Glocks now instead of M&P's, things like draw mechanics, sight tracking (especially when transitioning targets), and a few other factors do have value beyond dryfire in my opinion. I even modified a set of real M&P sights to fit the dovetails on the rimfire gun.
That said, for new shooters and kids, the full-size M&P (even though it's rimfire) can be a bit much.
I'm more inclined I think to sell the M&P and pick up a G44 for a full-time trainer and something like a Browning or Ruger target pistol with a lightweight barrel to serve as a suppressor host. Narrower grip, better trigger, maybe even toss a dot on top.

I’m skeptical. This appears to be yet another toy gun that shoots real bullets. The plastic slide isn’t encouraging.
.22s in general aren’t reliable. Sure, there are some that run ok, most of the time. But after a 1000 rounds, not so much —unless they are fully cleaned and lubed.
.22 mags universally suck. They are flimsy pieces of crap, except for maybe the 10/22 rotary mags.
If Glock has somehow broken the rule, and made a good .22, I’ll eat crow.
