Smith & Wesson M&P FPC 40 S&W Folding Carbine 20+1 16.25" Barrel

The Smith & Wesson M&P FPC delivers submachine gun-level compactness in a civilian-legal carbine platform. This folding pistol caliber carbine transforms from a 16.25-inch firearm to an ultra-compact package measuring just 26.75 inches folded, making it ideal for vehicle storage and discreet transport.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional carbines that sacrifice portability for performance, the M&P FPC features a patent-pending folding mechanism that maintains zero when folded and unfolded. The aluminum receiver provides rifle-strength durability at pistol weight, while the threaded barrel accepts standard 5/8x24 muzzle devices. Most competing folding carbines require tools for breakdown or lose accuracy after folding cycles.

Key Features

• Folding synthetic stock reduces overall length to 26.75 inches for compact storage
• 16.25-inch threaded barrel with 5/8x24 threads accepts suppressors and muzzle devices
• Black Armornite finish provides superior corrosion resistance over standard bluing
• Full-length Picatinny rail accommodates optics, lights, and accessories
• Accepts standard M&P magazines with 20+1 capacity in 40 S&W
• Aluminum receiver construction keeps weight under 6 pounds
• Includes three magazines and padded carry bag for complete package

The 40 S&W chambering delivers substantially more energy than 9mm alternatives, generating 400+ foot-pounds at the muzzle for enhanced terminal performance. Law enforcement agencies appreciate the familiar M&P manual of arms, while competitive shooters benefit from the inherent accuracy of the longer barrel length. The carbine maintains reliable function in temperatures from -20°F to 140°F and cycles both standard and +P ammunition.
