Description
The Smith Wesson FPC 10mm OD Green is the M&P FPC chambered in 10mm Auto and finished in OD green, pairing the folding carbine that made the platform popular with a cartridge that turns it into a serious woods gun.
Smith Wesson FPC 10mm OD Green 10mm From a 16 Inch Barrel
10mm Auto is already the most powerful common semi-automatic pistol cartridge. Put it through a 16.25 inch barrel and the numbers change considerably, because a good deal of the powder that would have burned in the air out of a pistol burns in the bore instead. The result is a carbine that hits harder than most people expect from a pistol caliber gun.
That makes this a genuine field rifle rather than only a range toy. Inside a hundred yards a 10mm carbine is capable on deer and hogs, and it carries the authority you want as a backup in bear country while remaining far easier to shoot well than a heavy handgun.
The barrel is threaded 9/16×24 and comes with a thread protector, so a brake or a suppressor is a simple addition.
Folding, Storage and Fit
The carbine folds horizontally to the side, which keeps a mounted optic clear of the mechanism and keeps it zeroed. Folded it measures about 16 and a half inches; unfolded it runs about 30 and five eighths inches.
Two spare 10mm magazines store inside the stock behind a quick-release tab system, and the carbine ships with three 15-round magazines in total. The charging slide doubles as a retainer that holds the gun closed when folded.
The stock is a fixed polymer unit with a 14.6 inch length of pull, the magazine catch is reversible for left-handed shooters, and four interchangeable palmswell grip inserts let you fit the grip to your hand. An M-LOK handguard with a Picatinny rail on top handles optics, lights and accessories.

Why Buyers Choose the Smith Wesson FPC 10mm OD Green
A 10mm carbine sits in a useful gap: more capable than a pistol caliber carbine in 9mm, far lighter and handier than a full-power rifle, and legal for deer in many states where straight-wall cartridges are required.
The folding design means this can live in a pack, a truck or a boat rather than a rifle case, which matters for a gun bought as backcountry insurance.
A threaded muzzle on a 10mm carbine opens the door to a suppressor, and a subsonic 10mm load through a can is remarkably quiet for the energy it carries.
Three magazines in the box is generous, and the two stored in the stock mean the carbine travels as a complete system.
Who Should Buy It
The Smith Wesson FPC 10mm OD Green suits hunters and hikers who want a compact hard-hitting carbine for backcountry use, 10mm pistol owners who want a rifle in the same cartridge, and anyone in a straight-wall cartridge state looking at deer options. Ammunition costs more than 9mm and varies widely in power, so choose loads for the job at hand.
