Smith & Wesson M&P FPC 5.7x28mm 16.25″ Folding Carbine Black 20+1

Description

<h2>Smith & Wesson M&P FPC 5.7 Carbine</h2>

<p>The <strong>Smith & Wesson M&P FPC 5.7</strong> expands Smith & Wesson’s folding carbine platform into the 5.7x28mm cartridge. The FPC is engineered around a unique side-folding design that significantly reduces its stored length while allowing mounted optics to remain in place.</p>

<p>This configuration features a <strong>16.25-inch barrel, 20+1 capacity, black finish, M-LOK handguard, Picatinny optics rail and integrated magazine storage</strong>, creating a versatile folding carbine for range use, training and compact transportation.</p>

<h2>5.7x28mm Chambering</h2>

<p>The <strong>Smith & Wesson M&P FPC 5.7</strong> is chambered in <strong>5.7x28mm</strong>, a lightweight centerfire cartridge known for its high velocity and relatively mild recoil characteristics.</p>

<p>Pairing 5.7x28mm with the FPC platform provides shooters with an alternative to traditional pistol-caliber carbines while retaining the compact storage advantages of Smith & Wesson’s folding design.</p>

<h2>16.25-Inch Barrel</h2>

<p>The FPC 5.7 features a <strong>16.25-inch barrel</strong>, providing a full-length carbine configuration while maintaining the ability to fold into a considerably shorter package for storage and transport.</p>

<p>The barrel is threaded to provide compatibility with appropriately sized muzzle devices and accessories.</p>

<h2>Side-Folding FPC Design</h2>

<p>The defining feature of the <strong>Smith & Wesson M&P FPC 5.7</strong> is its <strong>side-folding design</strong>. Rather than folding vertically over the top of the receiver, the barrel and handguard fold alongside the carbine.</p>

<p>This arrangement allows compatible optics mounted to the top rail to remain installed when the rifle is folded, eliminating the need to remove and reinstall the primary sighting system for storage.</p>

<h2>20+1 Round Capacity</h2>

<p>This FPC configuration uses a <strong>20-round detachable magazine</strong>, providing a total capacity of <strong>20+1 rounds</strong> with one cartridge chambered.</p>

<p>The combination of the 5.7x28mm cartridge and detachable magazine system provides substantial capacity in a lightweight carbine platform.</p>

<h2>M-LOK Handguard</h2>

<p>The <strong>Smith & Wesson M&P FPC 5.7</strong> incorporates a modern <strong>M-LOK handguard</strong> with multiple mounting positions for compatible accessories.</p>

<p>The handguard provides ample gripping surface while giving owners flexibility to configure the carbine around their preferred accessory setup.</p>

<h2>Picatinny Optics Rail</h2>

<p>A continuous <strong>Picatinny rail</strong> provides a versatile mounting platform for compatible red-dot sights, scopes and other optical systems.</p>

<p>Because the FPC folds to the side rather than directly over the receiver, an installed optic can remain mounted when the rifle is placed into its folded configuration.</p>

<h2>Integrated Magazine Storage</h2>

<p>The FPC stock incorporates <strong>integrated magazine storage</strong>, allowing spare compatible magazines to be carried directly on the carbine.</p>

<p>This feature is a defining element of Smith & Wesson’s FPC platform and keeps additional magazines conveniently stored with the firearm.</p>

<h2>Compact Storage and Transportation</h2>

<p>When folded, the <strong>Smith & Wesson M&P FPC 5.7</strong> significantly reduces its overall storage footprint compared with a conventional fixed carbine.</p>

<p>The folding architecture makes the FPC particularly convenient for organized storage and transportation while allowing the rifle to retain a full-length 16.25-inch barrel when deployed.</p>

<h2>Familiar M&P Ergonomics</h2>

<p>Smith & Wesson incorporates familiar <strong>M&P-inspired controls and ergonomics</strong> into the FPC platform, providing a recognizable interface for shooters already familiar with the company’s semi-automatic firearms.</p>

<p>The textured pistol grip, shoulder stock and modern handguard create a comfortable carbine-style shooting platform while preserving the FPC’s unique folding capability.</p>
