Smith & Wesson Unveils The M&P FPC 10mm

Smith & Wesson has announced their M&P FPC chambered in 10mm. Previously available in   9mm and   .40 S&W, the rumor mill has been hard at work for a while predicting this one, but the wait is finally over. For 10mm fans, the new FPC will provide increased muzzle energy and terminal performance with its 16.25-inch 9/16×24 threaded barrel while still folding up nicely to stow in a small backpack like its predecessors.

While much of the form and function remain the same, there are a few updates to the M&P FPC 10mm compared to the FPC 9mm and FPC .40 S&W. For starters, it is equipped with a full-size grip module, which makes perfect sense because the FPC 10mm shares the same 15-round magazines with the M&P 2.0 10mm handgun, which is only available in that configuration.

The charging handle on the FPC 10mm is beefed up with an updated hinged latch system that locks up firmly in place until you actuate it. Both the slide locks and the magazine release have been redesigned with a slight extension, making them easier to engage without needing to move your hand as much.

Everything else is what you’d expect from the Smith & Wesson M&P FPC line, with the same blowback design, cross-bolt safety, optics-ready M-LOK handguard with Picatinny on top, and a secure locking latch on the folding mechanism that prevents interference with most top-mounted optics and accessories. The M&P FPC 10mm also features a crisp flat-face trigger with interchangeable palmswell inserts, in-stock dual magazine storage, and folds to a compact 16”.
