SPRINGFIELD, MA.<\/strong>, (2\/28\/2023) \u2013 Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select: SWBI), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, is proud to introduce its new folding pistol carbine, the M&P\u00ae FPCTM<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chambered in 9mm, the optics-ready FPC<\/a> has a length of 30 3\u20448 inches and a compact folded length of 16 3\u20448 inches. It comes equipped with three double-stack M&P pistol magazines, including one 17-round and two 23-round mags. This new carbine features an integrated recoil buffer system, 1\u20442-28 threaded muzzle, and in-stock magazine storage for making reloading fast and efficient. The horizontal folding mechanism of the FPC provides a locking latch to enable secured transport and prevents interference with most top-mounted optics or accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe team at Smith & Wesson aimed to design a pistol carbine that was compatible with various M&P series pistol magazines. We exceeded that initial desire by introducing side-folding mechanics that deliver a unique compact feature and allow the user to keep their sight system mounted on the gun both in the folded and extended positions. Extra magazine storage in the buttstock, familiar M&P fire controls and reliable palmswell grip adaptors all make this new pistol carbine a great addition to the M&P family,\u201d said John Myles, Senior Manager of New Products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The M&P FPC also comes with a carrying bag designed with multiple Velcro\u00ae storage compartments to secure additional equipment for easy transport. This new folding pistol carbine is proudly made in the U.S.A. and has an MSRP of $659.00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
