S&W 10mm carbine

Smith & Wesson is releasing its M&P FPC now chambered in 10mm. The optics-ready FPC, or Folding Pistol Carbine, uses a blowback design and is equipped with three 15-round double-stack M&P M2.0 pistol magazines. It features an integrated recoil buffer system, an overall length of 30.6 inches and can fold to 16.5 inches long for easy storage. The horizontal folding mechanism of the FPC provides a locking latch to ensure secure transport and prevents interference with most top-mounted optics or accessories. Its 9/16x24 tpi threaded muzzle can be paired with the user’s preferred suppressor, while the in-stock magazine storage facilitates fast and efficient reloading.

The M&P FPC handguard features an upper Picatinny rail for mounting an optic and M-Lok slots for adding other accessories. There is a flat-face trigger with a crisp break, and the interchangeable grip inserts let you tailor the gun for more comfort. The rifle includes a carrying bag with multiple storage compartments to keep components and accessories organized and secure. In addition to the new standard 10mm model, Smith & Wesson now also offers a compliant version that shares the same feature set but includes three 10-round magazines.
