The Smith & Wesson M&P FPC delivers the stopping power of 10mm Auto in a compact, folding carbine platform that transforms from 32.25 inches to just 16.25 inches when folded. This innovative design bridges the gap between pistol portability and rifle performance, offering serious firepower in a package that fits in most backpacks.
What Makes This Different
The M&P FPC stands apart with its patent-pending folding mechanism that reduces overall length by 50% without compromising structural integrity. Unlike traditional takedown rifles that require disassembly, this carbine folds and unfolds in seconds with a simple release lever. The 10mm chambering provides significantly more energy than 9mm alternatives, delivering approximately 650 ft-lbs of energy compared to 350 ft-lbs from standard pistol calibers.
Key Features
- Folding stock design reduces length from 32.25" to 16.25" for compact storage
- 10mm Auto chambering for superior stopping power and penetration
- 15-round magazine capacity with M&P pistol magazine compatibility
- Picatinny rail system for optics and accessories mounting
- Ambidextrous controls including safety and magazine release
- Threaded barrel ready for suppressor attachment
- Polymer construction with steel barrel and action components
Field performance demonstrates the versatility of this platform across multiple applications. The 16.25-inch barrel extracts maximum velocity from 10mm cartridges, making it effective for hunting medium game at ranges up to 100 yards. Law enforcement agencies appreciate the compact storage capability for vehicle deployment, while competitive shooters benefit from the enhanced accuracy over pistol platforms. The gas-operated action cycles reliably with various 10mm loads from 155-grain to 220-grain bullets.
