Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select: SWBI), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, is proud to introduce its new folding pistol carbine, the M&P FPC.

Smith & Wesson M&P FFC 9mm Pistol Carbine

Chambered in 9mm, the optics-ready FPC has a length of 30 ⅜ inches, and a compact folded length of 16 ⅜ inches. It comes equipped with three double-stack M&P pistol magazines, including one 17-round and two 23-round mags. This new carbine features an integrated recoil buffer system, ½-28 threaded muzzle, and in-stock magazine storage for making reloading fast and efficient. The horizontal folding mechanism of the FPC provides a locking latch to enable secured transport and prevents interference with most top-mounted optics or accessories.

“The team at Smith & Wesson aimed to design a pistol carbine that was compatible with various M&P series pistol magazines. We exceeded that initial desire by introducing side-folding mechanics that deliver a unique compact feature and allow the user to keep their sight system mounted on the gun both in the folded and extended positions. Extra magazine storage in the buttstock, familiar M&P fire controls and reliable palm swell grip adaptors all make this new pistol carbine a great addition to the M&P family,” said John Myles, Senior Manager of New Products.

Additional features include a handguard with an upper Picatinny rail and M-LOK slots for accessory mounting capabilities, a flat-face trigger design that offers a crisp single-action trigger break, and four interchangeable palm swells for maximum comfort. The M&P FPC also comes with a carrying bag designed with multiple Velcro® storage compartments to secure additional equipment for easy transport. This new folding pistol carbine is proudly made in the U.S.A. and has an MSRP of $659.00.

Needs to be mfg in 10mm and .45 Auto….plus, put some iron sights on there and give folks the option of skipping the optics. Those dang things always screw up when you need them the most (the optics I mean).

IF it works and you run a M&P with the same mags I can’t imagine a good reason not to have a setup handy. Backup irons would be added and a WML

IMHO, that one has a fatal flaw.

Look it over closely and you’ll see “S&W”.

The only S&Ws in my house are Wheelies, and that’s how it shall stay.

Another smith and wesson copy of a Kel-Tec design. These clowns need to come up with some new and original ideas, improve quality, rather than imitate other people’s designs.

S&W ENGINEERS- FEW ISSUES AT HAND HERE WITH THIS = THE BOLT RELEASE IS TOTALLY WRONG (TOO HARD TO USE – IT WILL BITE YOUR THUMB / FINGER- WORSE , FINGER WILL SLIP IN THE CHAMBER AND GET SMASHED BY THE ‘BOLT’) == AND THE BUTTSTOCK W/ MAG HOLDER > THE RELEASE IS NOT EFFICIENT AT ALL! SHOULD BE ‘FRICTION HELD’!!!! HOW DO YOU QUICKLY RETRIEVE A MAG FROM THIS SETUP? < IT SUCKS!) AND IT NEEDS A BETTER “RECOIL SYSTEM – FOR A 9MM RIFLE THIS HAS MORE RECOIL THAN A 556 AR15!! WTH? WHY IS THE BOLT SO… Read more »
