# New Product Highlight: Smith & Wesson M&P FPC in 10mm

Pistol caliber carbines are a lot of fun, but there’s one main criticism of them. Why would you tote around a rifle-length firearm that’s no more powerful than the compact pistol in your waistband?
The new **10mm Smith & Wesson M&P FPC** solves both of those issues. It folds in half so you can stuff it in a backpack, and it packs a whollop with 15 rounds of 10mm in the magazine.

 **Smith & Wesson M&P FPC 10mm**
The M&P FPC platform is not new. It already exists in [**9mm**](https://www.pewpewtactical.com/best-9mm-ammo/) and [**.40 S&W**](https://www.pewpewtactical.com/best-40-sw-ammo-self-defense-target-practice/) variants. The company also offers the Response, which uses a modular design that’s closer to an AR-15 than a stretched-out M&P-series pistol. You can learn all about that one in our [**Smith & Wesson Response review**](https://www.pewpewtactical.com/smith-wesson-response-review/)!
So what’s new for this one, besides the burly [**10mm**](https://www.pewpewtactical.com/best-10mm-ammo/) cartridge?
One welcome change is a full-size grip. The previous FPC has a compact grip with an extension so you can run 17- or 21-round magazines. The larger grip accepts 15-round 10mm magazines.
The two-stage buffer system is new. According to Smith & Wesson, it keeps felt recoil on par with that of the 9mm FPC. Still, the charging handle got a few tweaks to keep it in place under the extra strain of a more powerful cartridge.
There aren’t many ergonomic changes – you’ll still get the same buttstock and aluminum M-LOK handguard – but the magazine release sticks out just a little bit further to make reloads easier without breaking your shooting-hand grip.
Up top is the same Picatinny rail for your [**red dot**](https://www.pewpewtactical.com/red-dot-sights/).
The 10mm FPC ships with three magazines. As before, the buttstock has storage for the two you’re not using.
