Meet the New Folding Pistol Carbine (M&P FPC) from Smith & Wesson
If you are a huge fan of the idea of folding pistol caliber carbines but have never been happy with the available options on the market, then you’ll be happy to hear that a new contender has arrived. Smith & Wesson has just announced the launch of their new M&P FPC or Folding Pistol Carbine. This new folding 9mm PCC comes optics ready, features a unique folding mechanism, 100% compatibility with already existing M&P series 9mm magazines, and will retail for about $699 MSRP putting it at about the same price as other folding PCCs already on the market.

The new Smith & Wesson M&P Folding Pistol Carbine (FPC) features a handy and compact folding design that folds from right to left and the barrel/handguard is then held in place using a friction fit with the ambidextrous charging handle. The PCC comes standard with a stock that can accommodate two additional M&P magazines of any size and the entire package still folds down into a compact 16-3/8″ package. The barrel is threaded 1/2×29 and much like other folding PCCs on the market, I can assume that the FPC will also make a great suppressor host.
The Folding Pistol Carbine also comes with a carrying case that features extra storage space for accessories, ammunition, and magazines. The FPC comes standard with one 17-round and two additional 23-round magazines that feature handy extensions. James Reeves of TFBTV has already put the new FPC through the wringer and has a lot of good things to say about it, if you’re interested in watching his full initial impressions range review you can check it out below.

SAD??!! Sad about what? Can’t buy an FPC in California? If that’s why. I’m sad too. It’s a great product that I want to purchase. And I’m a Californian too 😩. 👈🏽Only if I can’t get one.
I found one in stock a couple of hours from my home and picked it up. It fired one round and then would not fire a 2nd. I took it apart to find the firing pin laying along the buffer tube. Not happy. Smith says send it to them. Turnaround time several weeks.
