The word innovative doesn't come to mind....

I am long time SW fan and appreciate that they have been expanding their offerings of late...but...the pace has been about a decade behind.

Given that my primary pistol is a M&P 2.0 Compact, this would be a nice addition! Too bad I'm not buying anymore guns. Stay strong, Greg!

This does interest me. Not really the folding part, all though they seemed to have improved it over the Keltec.

Maybe I will switch to the M&P setup. I would really like it SBR and a suppressor or maybe integrally suppressed would be cool.

Lightweight. You don't need an adapter to fold it with an optic on it.

Takes M&P mags from 15 rounds and larger.

Ships with 3 mags.

There were issues with the one Mr. Gunsnngear had. He couldn't operate the charging handle one handed and the right side bolt hold open wouldn't engage.

Interesting release from S&W.

I will probably wait and see what comes along for it. It might benefit some from extended controls. We will see.

What a world we live in that a historic manufacturer has to try to copy Keltec.

I like it. If I hadn't just finally gotten a 226 magazine release for my sub2k I'd be in the post beta market.

Keltec invented the folding rifle?

Keltec invented the folding rifle?

I’m sure it has been done before but in modern times the keltec is definitely who you think of when you think folding rifle imo

Disassembly starts at about 14:20 in this video:

I will likely try one out. I've had a few Sub-2000s and they were alright. I never liked the narrow butt of the stock and the sights were fair at best. On the plus side I like the current version's ability to easily switch between M&P and Beretta mags, of which I have plenty of both. I like S&W's improved stock with dual mag holders and the side folder.

Their timing is about perfect with the current brace debacle. While we are confident it will go away this is an appropriate replacement for something like a CZ Evo 3 or Stribog.

Someone sent me this today regarding this.

I like it, as an M&P fan, yes please!

If you look at the product page:

https://www.smith-wesson.com/product/fpc

It says M&P FPC Series

That would seem to indicate there are more to come. Possibly for those who want a PCC in .45 or 10mm

No thanks.

Really seems like a solid improvement on the Sub2000 concept. Pretty happy with what I see. Hope it's a good seller for them.

 

[snorko]

I had one in my cart at PSA but went to look at their price on the M&P version of the Keltec. That 5 minutes took it out of stock.
