M&P FPC 22LR Info Thread

[marvin02]

Smith & Wesson released a .22lr version of the FPC in late July, 2025.



Overview videos about the .22lr version:





Range footage:







I purchased one and the following posts will have more info.

The .22lr version of the FPC comes in a cardboard box. No carry bag included.



In the box you get three back straps (the grip and the back straps are the same as an M&P compact pistol 15 round size), user manual, S&W sticker, chamber flag (it's shy & not in picture), and the lock.



Here is a closer look at the magazines.



One of the mags loaded. It was stiff getting in round 20 but overall easy to load.



The FPC22 out of the box with no mag weighs in at 4 pounds 1.2 ounces on my scale:



I installed a Holosun 507 red dot on a riser and an angled foregrip. That brought the weight up to 4 pounds 8.2 ounces. That's 1 pound 6 ounces lighter than my 9mm FPC with a vertical fore grip and a Holosun 512t.

I loaded a mag with snap caps and the first ten trigger pulls averaged 4 pounds 9.9 ounces.



More in next post.

The hinge up close:



The bottom of the charging handle. It is different than the 9mm FPC charging handle.



The butt stock. The 9mm butt stock is smooth. The .22lr version has a rough texture to the finish.




OK - that's all for now. I will post more once I get to the range and shoot it.

If you've got questions post them.
