This carbine delivers a pragmatic solution for various shooting disciplines where portability and performance are critical.
Key Features
Proprietary Folding System
The M&P FPC integrates a proprietary folding mechanism, critically reducing its overall length for compact transport and efficient storage. This mechanism is engineered for secure lock-up, ensuring reliable deployment and operational stability under various conditions.
Magazine Integration

This design choice optimizes ammunition and magazine logistics for M&P pistol platform users, allowing seamless interchangeability with existing 17-round and extended 23-round M&P magazines.
Ergonomics & Accessory Interface
Equipped with a 16.25-inch barrel, the M&P FPC optimizes 9mm cartridge velocity and terminal ballistics for its intended operational envelope. The carbine integrates an M-LOK accessory rail handguard, facilitating direct attachment of a range of auxiliary equipment. A full-length Picatinny rail is positioned atop the receiver for secure mounting of optical sighting systems. Its familiar M&P pistol grip angle is incorporated to maintain consistent ergonomic indexing and handling characteristics across the M&P ecosystem.
