S&W fpc folding carbine

Yeah I loved my CX4, it ran like a champ and I just loved the looks. I always thought about getting the barrel threaded and put on the Galactica compensator...

 
Cool idea, but I’ll pay a ‘smith to thread my barrel before I risk that thing!

Witt Machine makes these adapters and brakes custom to your barrel dimensions taken with calipers. No worries. Another solution below.

Special tool is needed to remove the barrel, Tornado has a custom jig to thread without removing the barrel. I own the CX4 too.

Same here. It saves 2-3" in length compared to designs with a separate magwell.
One issue is you need a certain amount of space to fix the bolt and recoil system. This is why both the FPC and Sub2000 have a long length of pull compared to AR based PCC’s.
 
Just curious why I haven't seen any comparison to the other new PCC on the market, the Henry Homesteader. Is the S&W the next shiny object and we've moved on?

I do like the looks of the Henry. It's new but looks old-er. I think in the market of pcc's the price is on the high side in hopes the name will bring sales their way.

Why has no one mentioned yet that both keltec and Ruger have managed to make their carbines use a bunch of mags? the sub2k you just swap out the release, and the PC9 you swap out part of the mag well.

Somehow keltec managed to make it work with damn near everything:

Yea, maybe someone will buy one and be so in love with it they'll get an M&P pistol, or maybe they'll never try it since it won't work with their existing Beretta/CZ/Sig/Glock/Canik stuff.

They're only similar in caliber. And ability to change mags. The people buying the Henry probably wont look at the S&W very hard and vice versa.
I'd take the Henry myself, but yeah, I hope the price drops.

I got excited for a minute until I realized HK wasn't on the list.

Keltec has one a lot of very clever stuff over the years, this being one of them.

S&W could be smart just support their own mags-fewer complaints And less engineering and tooling up front. If it catches on (and it seems to be) there will be third parties offering conversions. Looking at pics it seems the grip just held on with screws and the barrel pivot pin so I can see that happening soon.

Honestly, I have the Ruger, and I love it, except I wish it didn't come apart. I think I thought it had worked loose, tightened it, and accidentally shifted my zero a bit. I love the looks of the Henry, but it feels like paying extra for pretty engraving on the side of a work hammer or something.
 
I played with one in a local shop. Not impressed. They also wanted 8 bills for it.

George Kellgren is a really smart guy who certainly seems to spend more time in engineering than styling.

I actually like that "mass produced for the diaspora to the colony worlds where function is the primary concern but was designed by quirky AI" vibe Keltec stuff has.

Plastic has great advantages, cheap, light, and strong (enough). But no matter what people say my instincts scream "plastic is bad and will one day wear out, break, crack, melt, and/or get loose and fall off". Grips and stocks are fine because they can be replaced easily but making the receiver out of plastic just seems wrong.

Kel-Tec is just ahead of it's time. I look forward to the day we can buy 3d printed pistols from Kel-Tec vending machines.

I'm with you.

Quirky, innovative design, made in the US and lifetime warranty.

Bingo!

Ah, the polymer one shot. In the old tabletop game I was fond of the various smgs that melt when you do a mag dump lol
 
I picked it up around lunch today. Here are anyone some pictures. Won't be able to shoot for couple weeks. Ifwants to see it before ordering let me know. The weight is all in the butt stock it fills like. Comes with super nice discreet carry bag, all other stuff magazine's 3 , extra size grips normal stuff Smiths come with.
