It ships with **three double-stack mags**: one 17-round and two 23-round magazines as standard. ([gunsandammo.com](https://www.gunsandammo.com/editorial/mp-fpc-9mm-carbine-first-look/469687?utm_source=openai))  \n- The feed system uses **17- and 23-round Smith & Wesson M&P magazines**. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_%26_Wesson_M%26P_FPC?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udee0 Community & User Insights (Verified by Owners)\n\nBased on user feedback and forums:\n\n- Magazines that work reliably in the FPC include:  \n  \u2022 **Compact (15-round) mags** from M&P 2.0 or similar models.  \n  \u2022 **Full-size 17-round mags** originally for full-size M&P pistols.  \n  \u2022 **23-round extended mags** for 9mm. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/SmithAndWesson/comments/1gns3vy?utm_source=openai))  \n\n- When using the 17- or 23-round mags, there will be a gap between the grip and the baseplate unless using the included **grip adaptor/spacer** (\u201cpinkie finger sleeve\u201d) for flush fit. This spacer is **optional** for function\u2014just ergonomic. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/SmithAndWesson/comments/1gns3vy?utm_source=openai))  \n\n- The 15-round compact mags **fit flush** without the spacer, since the FPC uses a compact-sized grip. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/SmithAndWesson/comments/1gns3vy?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## \u2705 Summary: What Mags the FPC Accepts\n\n| Magazine Type | Round Count | Flush Fit? | Notes |\n|----------------|-------------|------------|-------|\n| **Compact M&P 9mm** | 15 rounds | \u2714\ufe0f without spacer | Fits grip size exactly. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/SmithAndWesson/comments/1gns3vy?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Full-size M&P 9mm** | 17 rounds | \u2716\ufe0f without spacer, use spacer for flush | Much like full-size pistol mags. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/SmithAndWesson/comments/1gns3vy?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Extended M&P mags** | 23 rounds | \u2716\ufe0f without spacer | Comes with gun; good extra capacity. ([gunsandammo.com](https://www.gunsandammo.com/editorial/mp-fpc-9mm-carbine-first-look/469687?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which mags you\u2019re considering (OEM, aftermarket, capacity), I can check whether they'll work with the FPC."
