Description
There are folding carbines, and then there is a folding carbine chambered in 10mm Auto. Smith & Wesson took the proven FPC platform and gave it real thump, pushing the 10mm out of a 16.25 inch barrel where the cartridge picks up meaningful velocity over any pistol. That makes this one of the more practical trail and truck guns out there, whether you are covering ground in bear country, keeping something capable behind the seat, or just having a great time turning steel at the range.
Why the M&P FPC 10mm Folds Smarter
The side-folding design is the trick that makes this whole package work. Instead of folding over the top like older pistol-caliber carbines, the barrel swings to the left and locks alongside the stock, so your red dot stays mounted, zeroed, and untouched. Folded, the whole carbine measures about 16.5 inches and drops right into the included carry bag or most backpacks. Unfold it, and the action locks up solid at just over 30 inches overall, weighing in around 5.7 pounds.
Familiar M&P Feel, Carbine Performance
If you have spent time behind an M&P pistol, this will feel like home. The grip angle and flat-face trigger carry over from the handgun line, and four interchangeable palmswell inserts let you dial in the fit. It feeds from M&P 10mm double-stack pistol magazines, and the stock stores two spares on board with a quick-release tab, so a reload is always within reach. An integrated recoil buffer takes the edge off the blowback action, keeping full-power 10mm loads surprisingly manageable.
Setting Up Your FPC 10mm Carbine
The full-length Picatinny rail up top is ready for the optic of your choice, and M-LOK slots along the handguard handle lights and accessories. The 9/16×24 threaded muzzle comes with a protector installed and welcomes a suppressor or muzzle device whenever you are ready. With three 10-round magazines and that well-thought-out carry bag in the box, this one is set up to go to work the day you bring it home.

Frequently Asked Questions
What magazines does the M&P FPC 10mm use?
It feeds from Smith & Wesson M&P 10mm double-stack pistol magazines, the same ones used in the M&P M2.0 10mm pistols. This version ships with three 10-round mags, and the stock stores two spares on board with a quick-release tab for fast access. If you already run an M&P 10mm pistol, your mags will work in both.
Does the FPC 10mm come with sights or an optic?
No, it ships without sights. The full-length Picatinny rail on top is ready for a red dot, low-power scope, or backup irons of your choice. The nice part is the side-folding design means your optic stays mounted and zeroed even when the carbine is folded for storage.
Can I put a suppressor on the M&P FPC 10mm?
Yes. The 16.25 inch barrel is threaded 9/16×24 and comes with a thread protector installed, so it is ready for a suppressor or other muzzle device compatible with that pattern. Just confirm your suppressor is rated for 10mm Auto before mounting up.
How small does the M&P FPC fold down?
Folded, it measures roughly 16.5 inches, down from about 30.6 inches when deployed. The barrel swings to the left side and locks against the stock, and the whole package fits in the included carry bag or most range backpacks. Deploying it is quick, with the barrel swinging out and locking solidly into place.
