Smith Wesson FPC22LR 22X

Smith & Wesson has announced the release of the M&P FPC 22LR and M&P22X pistol.

Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, the optics-ready FPC has an overall length of 30.375” and a compact folded length of 16.375”. It features a 16.25” threaded barrel, comes with a handguard that includes an upper Picatinny rail and M-LOK slots for accessory mounting capabilities, three 20-round magazines, and a fixed 14.5” LOP stock with magazine storage. The horizontal folding mechanism of the FPC provides a locking latch to enable secured transport and prevents interference with most top-mounted optics or accessories. Inspired by M&P handguns, its compact grip ships with four interchangeable palmswell inserts allowing users to adjust for comfort, and the familiar flat-face trigger design offers a crisp break and reset.

The new M&P22X, also chambered in .22 Long Rifle, serves as the perfect sidearm to the FPC 22LR. Designed with superior ergonomics in mind, it offers a slim grip, low recoil, and a crisp, hammer-fired trigger for a premium shooting experience. The optics-ready M&P22X is built on a full-size frame, includes a 4.1” barrel and a Picatinny-style rail, and is packaged with two 20-round magazines that are compatible with the FPC 22LR. In addition to the installed fiber Hi-Viz LiteWave H3 front sight and black serrated square-notch rear sight, this pistol includes a replacement tool along with additional red, white, and green fiber optics, enabling users to customize their preference. The M&P22X is also suppressor capable and comes with ½ x 28 thread adaptor and wrench out of the box. Both the FPC 22LR and M&P22X are available in 10-round compliant models for applicable states.
