Great

Great...now I gotta buy two FPCs. I do love that they keep cranking out new products, but my wallet hates it.

Well they finally did it. Wish they would have let us know last year. Started buying parts for an AR platform 10mm. Half way there. How about some 20-25 round magazines? Just extend the 15 rounders like the 9mm.
Then you can come out with a FPC in 5.7x28mm and really hurt me where it counts.

Been waiting for this - I want one. FDE, please, so it’ll be different than my 9.

Nice but I’ll wait for it to ship with extended mags.. just ordered a 9mm this week so I can wait while I play with this one lol

Couldn't say it any better.

You will like it. Mine shot a small 5 shot group with 3 shots touching at 35 yards. Using inexpensive reloads.

When they say crossbolt safety, is that the tab straight up from the mag release by the bolt?

 

[IAM Rand]

Okay, what am I missing. First they do the 9. No problems there. Then they go to the 40. Not my second choice but, okay. Then they go to the 10mm. Huh. I think the 45 is a more popular choice than the 10.

I want my 45 dang it. Pleeeeaaaassseee Eddy (for those not familiar this would be my best Roger Rabbit).

 

[Michaelp57]

I think that the route they chose makes perfect sense. Make the 9mm first, because that will be the volume seller. Make the 40 second, to try to maintain their own cartridge. Now 10mm because that's getting to the point of trying to break into the big 3 in terms of popularity, and to go with their m&p.

If youre looking for a quality, fun to shoot .45acp pcc, check out the ruger lc carbine. Fantastic shooter for the money and easy to get higher capacity mags for(Kriss 30rd extensions).

Normally wouldn't get a 10mm PCC, but one that shares mags with my 10mm M&P sounds like a good deal.

I think that is the bolt release. The cross bolt safety is the button at the front of the trigger guard.

Now I just need to find someone that will take my money for one of these. I think I’ve got 12 M&P 10mm mags, so I’ve been ready for this!

Range time with FPC 9mm

Went to the range yesterday to test velocities out of the FPC9. Tried some different 9mm ammo through the carbine. Impressive results. 124g handloads. Nothing special. Average 1249 fps. Bought this Norma 108g MHP defense ammo. Average 1434 fps. Winchester SG9W. 115G FMJFP. Box stated training/practice ammo. Loaded faster than normal, but they say it's not +P. Average 1543 fps! Nice. It is supposed to be slightly slower than the M1152 ammo. Don't think so. Tried it out of a 4.75" pistol. Got 1353 fps. Would like to see 10mm results through the FPC. I have the M&P 10mm with the compensator. Shot some 200g Grizzly ammo. 1277fps. Box stated 1250.

I am going to hold out for a S&W FPC in 45. Nothing against Ruger but, I am on the S&W forum after all. I still think a Spec combo of a FPC and M&P in 45ACP with consecutive serial #s would be a hot seller.

Just sayin.

Has anyone actually got one yet? I went by my LGS today and they have one coming in on Thursday. I promptly slapped down some plastic and had them put my name on it. I’ll keep everyone apprised and might even be able to provide a range report before the weekend. I’ll go in with my 12 M&P mags pre-loaded

I think you are correct. Also surprising is no 30 Super Carry yet. I guess that will die off soon.

What would really be wild would be a FPC in 357/38. I know the magazine issue is the big difficulty with it but, man would it be fun.

I wouldn’t mind seeing one in .357 Sig.

No desire for the 9mm version, would really like a 45acp version, but the 10mm has interest piqued. I had a Mech Tech 10mm carbine upper a while back and it was a good platform let down by lack of serviceability.

I look forward to your review.

 

[ultratec00]

I'd be curious if the 9mm and 40 share the same frame. They should like the regular M&Ps. The 45 and 10mm share the same M&P frame. Would make sense why the 10mm came first being they already had the barrel from the 40, just need to rechamber and add a heavier buffer spring.
