And gone. I had set an alert for back in stock but got nada.

I posted that about 5 seconds after I got the alert.

Yes!

I have a couple PCCs, and all of them are 9mm.
Yet, I carry a .40 M&P

Would be nice to have a .40 PCC.
Of course, them offering it, and me finding one is another subject.

S&W might be your best chance since they list this one as part of a "series".

Of course Hi-Point has a PC in 40.

Are the ASR reliable and accurate?

I don't know. I've seen some positive reviews of them and considered purchasing one. They are attractive from the stand point of being able to switch the caliber.



Here is the pistol version in 10MM

Really so if I bought a 10mm I could easily switch to 9mm or 45acp etc?

Watch the second video. 10mm & .45 share a trigger housing and 9mm & .40 share one IIRC. It's a modular setup, kind of the Transformers of the PCC market.

They have extended hand guards, better triggers and other accessories on the TNW site.

They sell them in multi-caliber kits:

I'm getting tired of waiting for Aero Precision, Ruger, S&W etc to make one. I'm going to research these.

The Meta Tactical Apex conversion kit is another option if you already have a Glock pistol in .40, 10MM, or .45.

Totally biased M&P FPC videos:

 

[gregkl]

I'm still kinda liking it.

I sold all my AR15's a few years ago and then built one up again because, you know, everyone should have one.

Thing is, I hardly shoot it, mostly due to ammo costs. I like it okay, but it's not doing me much good sitting in my safe.

And as far as a SHTF situation, the FPC might even be better than the AR15.

Now I'm thinking of selling that one and using the funds to buy a FPC.

 

[SheepDog4Life]

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!

Ditto, Greg... ditto!

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.

Dangit! I hate it when that happens!

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

I've never been a fan of the SUB2000... the FPC, even with couple shoulda done it better fails (the bolt release and the funkiness of the mag carriers) has me interested. That I'm already invested in the M&P 2.0 9C and mags... gravy.

Solves the optics mounting problem and fits in a standard bag.

This reviewer gets into the details of the issues with the release and the mag carrier.

Sleeves on the mags don't bother me. I leave them off my 17 rounders now. Never had an issue with over insertion in my M&P
Release is a non-issue. I will slingshot it
Mag carrier will be used when backpacking or SHTF. At the range I'll use my current mag holders
Safety will probably stay disengaged

Is it perfection? Definitely not. But neither am I perfect.

Re the spare mag release. I noted after watching a couple reviews some folk were trying to pull down the left side to release the left mag and said it was difficult, same for the right. But then i saw another review where they pressed up on one side to release the opposite mag, way easier.

I forgot which 1 i watched, but they were very detailed about the release..opposite button for each mag.

 

[1nderbeard]

I think I'll sit this one out.
All the gun youtube channels have reviews. S&W been pushing reviews hard man.

IIRC it was TFTB that was pulling and sooch00 who was pushing.

Possibly a stupid question buy seeing as it uses the m&p 2.0 trigger out of the box, it should take the same aftermarket triggers the pistols use then, right? Or could there be a reason it wouldn't be identical enough to share aftermarket options?

I'm betting that it does, that would make the most economic sense for S&W to use the same trigger group. Mine won't see aftermarket trigger parts, though, as its intended use may potentially be self-defense.

 

[gregkl]

I'm thinking since it's not striker fired, it won't be the same trigger set up. Maybe the trigger blade, but I bet up inside it's different.
