M&P FPC Review

FPC by Smith & Wesson is an affordable and enjoyable pistol-­caliber carbine (PCC) for a variety of reasons. Firstly, PCCs are a cheaper option for shooting, especially since they often come in a 9mm caliber like the M&P FPC. This means that 9mm rounds are roughly half the cost of 5.56x45mm rounds, allowing for more shots and longer time on the gun at the range.

9MM Rifle Pros and Cons

In addition to providing cost savings, the M&P FPC also offers improved accuracy and longer distance shooting compared to a pistol. While pistols are great for concealment, they can be challenging to shoot accurately beyond 25 yards. The FPC provides better stability and increased sighting options with its three-point support when shoulder-fired.

What sets the M&P FPC apart from other PCCs is its unique blowback operation and folding hinge design. Unlike other blowback PCCs, the FPC has a heavier bolt and shorter bolt travel, resulting in a milder recoil and faster cycling rate. The foldable handguard and barrel add to its versatility, allowing for a compact overall length of just 161/2 inches with a 161/4-inch barrel. The horizontal-folding design also retains zero for top-mounted optics.

Another benefit of the FPC is its compliance with ATF regulations as a rifle with its 161/4-inch barrel. This means no extra paperwork is needed for purchase in states where it is legal. The horizontal fold also makes it more concealable compared to other carbines with the same barrel length, making it an ideal option for those looking for a versatile and cost-effective firearm that can effectively engage targets up to 100 yards.
