S&W M&P FPC 9mm

The Smith & Wesson M&P FPC (Folding Pistol Carbine) takes a unique approach to the PCC category by designing around ultimate portability. The FPC folds in half at the hinge between the receiver and barrel, reducing storage length dramatically. This makes it ideal for backpack carry, truck guns, and storage in spaces where traditional long guns won't fit.

The 9mm FPC accepts Smith & Wesson M&P-pattern magazines, with magazine storage built into the stock for spare mags. Glock-mag modularity belongs to the S&W Response family, not the FPC. The 16.25-inch barrel maximizes velocity for the 9mm cartridge while keeping the platform legal as a rifle (no NFA paperwork required). The straightforward blowback operation is simple and reliable.

S&W designed the FPC with practical features: interchangeable butt pad spacers for length-of-pull adjustment, ambidextrous controls, and a full-length Picatinny rail for optics. While it lacks the delayed-blowback refinement of premium options, the FPC offers genuine utility that other PCCs can't match. For shooters who need a compact, storable 9mm carbine at a reasonable price, the FPC delivers unique capability.
