Got the Email this morning from S&W on FPC. Oh yeah finally and look forward to getting one as soon as it's available.
I have been waiting for an M&P15 in 9mm with changeable mag wells for years.
As with my choice of cars I like them to be efficient but looks are also very important,
I just can't own and drive a car I find terrible to look at,
To each his own, but that's gotta be one of the ugliest guns I've seen.
Chippa M1-9 looks very tempting

Yeah, and if you find one they are higher than a cats back.i've had a few camp 9 carbines over the years and as already been mentioned they take s&w mags and are reliable and fun to shoot.
only problem is they have pretty much dried up so finding one now can be a chore.
They should make one that will take 3rd Gen magazines.
Harumph.

It took a couple of years but S&W came out with a PPC pretty close to what I want.

For some reason S&W doesn't list weights on their website anymore but other sources say it is 5 pounds, quite a bit lighter than the Ruger I had.
Its foldable but unlike the Keltec folds sideways so its optics friendly. I am going to wait until I see some reviews but if it looks like it will be reliable I am going to buy one. That's a significant if though. It seems harder to make a reliable blowback 9mm carbine than it does to make a reliable tilting barrel handgun.
