([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/SmithAndWesson/comments/1ad2hba/bought_an_mp_fpc_last_month_my_first_sw_figured/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Another deal: a 10mm variant listed at **$499** on FirearmDataLab as of April 29, 2026. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/gundeals/comments/1sz3qk8/rifle_smith_wesson_mp_fpc_162510mm_15rd_rifle/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Flat Dark Earth (FDE) version showed up at **$529.99**, including free shipping, still as of November 2024. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/gundeals/comments/1gh4oo4?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udcc8 MSRP vs. Street Price\n\n- The MSRP is $659. ([assets.contentstack.io](https://assets.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltb61dcb3c40854cd9/blt7ddc3730e481bfae/63f929d4aa6c3f7f594bc097/12575_mp_FPC_specsheet.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- Most observed sales are **$450\u2013$600**, depending on configuration, state compliance, and promos. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/SmithAndWesson/comments/1ad2hba/bought_an_mp_fpc_last_month_my_first_sw_figured/?utm_source=openai))  \n\nSo you're likely to save **$60\u2013$200** off MSRP, especially during sales or if you pick up one of the more common 9mm models.\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me your ZIP code, I can check what the going price looks like around your area\u2014it might help you get a less biased estimate."

([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/gundeals/comments/1sz3qk8/rifle_smith_wesson_mp_fpc_162510mm_15rd_rifle/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Some users say their local gun shops in other regions have listed the 9mm FPC in the ballpark of **$530\u2013$575**. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/SmithAndWesson/comments/1ad2hba/bought_an_mp_fpc_last_month_my_first_sw_figured/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Another user managed a 10mm version purchase for **$679 out the door**.

([all4shooters.com](https://www.all4shooters.com/en/shooting/pistols/smith-wesson-m-p-fpc-pistol-caliber-carbine-9-mm/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Fold-for-storage**: Shrinks down to ~16.3 in.

([gunsandammo.com](https://www.gunsandammo.com/editorial/smith-wesson-mp-fpc-in-9mm-full-review/490335?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Mag storage in stock**: Two spare 23-round mags stored in the stock\u2014to keep reloads close. ([all4shooters.com](https://www.all4shooters.com/en/shooting/pistols/smith-wesson-m-p-fpc-pistol-caliber-carbine-9-mm/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Good balance and comfort**: Despite being ~5 lb, it feels balanced when shouldered; recoil is manageable for a blowback design. ([firearmsnews.com](https://www.firearmsnews.com/editorial/smith-fpc-carbine/477880?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udc4e Common Complaints & Trade-Offs\n\n- **Bulk when folded**: Though shorter, the folded setup is thick and awkward for some folks. ([huntinggearguy.com](https://www.huntinggearguy.com/rifle-reviews/sw-fpc-review/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Limited precision**: No long-range rifle performance expected; drifted slightly after fast strings. Great for 0-100 yards more than anything surgical. ([americas1stfreedom.org](https://www.americas1stfreedom.org/content/gun-review-smith-wesson-m-p-fpc/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Mag release ergonomics**: Reversible but a stretch to reach for some hands. ([guns.com](https://www.guns.com/news/reviews/smith-wesson-mp-fpc-9mm-truck-gun?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Fit & feel**: Grip frame is compact, but shipped mags are extended; no single flush compact mag included. ([firearmsnews.com](https://www.firearmsnews.com/editorial/smith-fpc-carbine/477880?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## \ud83c\udd9a How It Compares\n\n- **Vs. Kel-Tec SUB-2000**: SUB2000 is lighter (~4 lb) and folds more compactly; FPC offers higher build quality, sturdier materials, and usable stock-stored mos. ([firearmsnews.com](https://www.firearmsnews.com/editorial/fpc-9mmcarbine-review/469782?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Vs. regular M&P pistol** + SBR-esque upper: FPC gives you a longer 16-in barrel and is a full rifle when unfolded. No NFA SBR paperwork needed since it's rifle length. ([gunsandammo.com](https://www.gunsandammo.com/editorial/smith-wesson-mp-fpc-in-9mm-full-review/490335?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can pull up some video reviews and real-world accuracy tests so you can see how it shoots at 50 and 100 yards."

([americanrifleman.org](https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/rifleman-review-smith-wesson-m-p-fpc/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \u2705 What\u2019s Good in the Videos & Tests\n\n- **Reliability**: In the GunMade range test, no malfunctions over ~250 rounds. That\u2019s solid for a new platform. ([gunmade.com](https://www.gunmade.com/sw-mp-fpc-review/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Accuracy**: Shooters reported hitting consistent groups at 35 yards (around a 7-inch group) and making good shots out to 100 yards when setup correctly. ([firearmsnews.com](https://www.firearmsnews.com/editorial/smith-fpc-carbine/477880?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Trigger & ergonomics**: The flat trigger feels clean (5-lb pull), grip fits varied hands well, and mag swaps are straightforward. Some stiffness in controls initially, until broken in. ([firearmsnews.com](https://www.firearmsnews.com/editorial/smith-fpc-carbine/477880?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Folding mechanism**: Solid barrel-to-receiver lockup, no play; optic stays zeroed when folded. ([firearmsnews.com](https://www.firearmsnews.com/editorial/smith-fpc-carbine/477880?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### \u26a0\ufe0f Trade-offs & What People Mentioned\n\n- No iron or backup sights included\u2014everything is optics-ready, so plan for a red dot if you don\u2019t already have something. ([gunmade.com](https://www.gunmade.com/sw-mp-fpc-review/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Charging handle is stiff at first; takes lots of lubrication and use to smooth out. ([gunmade.com](https://www.gunmade.com/sw-mp-fpc-review/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Folded profile is bulky\u2014some say it\u2019s thicker than they expected for a \u201ccompact\u201d setup. Again, ok in a pack or truck, but maybe not pocketable. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/liberalgunowners/comments/1p8h9n1/smith_wesson_fpc_9mm_or_ruger_pc_carbine_9mm/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you\u2019d like, I can pull up a few specific range-test videos (embedded links) so you can see accuracy & handling live\u2014sometimes that gives a better feel than just specs."
