Hey there, gun enthusiasts! Welcome back to The Rimfire Report, where we dive deep into the world of rimfire firearms. Today, I’m stoked to share my hands-on experience with the brand-spankin’ new M&P FPC 22LR, courtesy of Smith & Wesson. I got to play with this beauty at their swanky Maryville, TN facility and the Windrock Shooting Range and Training Center during a media event this summer. We tested a bunch of Smith’s latest and greatest, plus some sweet historical pieces from firearms historian Michael Helms’ personal collection. But the M&P FPC 22LR really caught my eye, especially since it’s the rimfire version of the controversial M&P FPC 9mm. This little gem is perfect for those of you who love to pack a “backpack” gun for hikes, property checks, or camping trips. Stick around as I break down what I’ve learned from putting the first 1,000 rounds through this bad boy. Let’s get started!
