S&W M&P folding 9mm carbine

apparently now the Kel-tec barrel rotates so you can run an optic.

The integrally suppressed model is the only one that rotates.

SUB CQB | Folding, Suppressed Carbine in 9mm | KelTec

The SUB CQB offers compact storage and superior pistol caliber firepower. Integrated noise suppression gives a tactical advantage over evil doers.

I wonder if Keltec will bring that feature to the standard model when the current rebate ends.

If you are looking for higher capacity mags for your FPC do NOT but polymer ETS mags. The polymer feed lips are too wide and hit the bottom of the bolt. The ETS mags do work in the M&P pistols.

Anyone loading their own for their FCP? I am running mine with a Rugged Obsidian and am going purpose make some subsonics. Figured i'd ask before I start experimenting.

I load subsonics all the time. What powder are you using?

 

[bigretic]

For 9mm I usually use unique or 700x, but i have cfe pistol, tight group, and universal also on the shelf. Also not opposed to getting something else. Would like to do something that is as clean as possible. I am a lefty and that's my biggest complaint about the FCP - the port being so close to my face.

Are you using 146g or 115 projectiles?

I wonder if it spits out as much powder as the sub 2000 does. Being a lefty it’s really hard to deal with as it will throw hot powder into the corner of your mouth and your eye.

I’m a lefty and yes it is pretty dirty.
This is my right shoulder after 200 rounds of reloads with unique powder.

 

[bigretic]

So yeah, it was dirty to the point where I was like oh crap, and actually took a picture of myself and yes, it’s a little powdery to the nasal passages. I did not have any eye issues, however, nor mouth other than the gas off from the ejection port and breathing in.

I know of a couple companies that make a longer shell deflectors for the sub2k. I never ended up getting one for mine but I’d have half a mind to say they would help. I’d bet they make em for the M&P as well.

Have you tried the lower side of that CFE pistol load? 3.8-3.9gr?
If so how did they do?
How light have you load 9mm 147gr with CFE Pistol?

I like to experiment with the extreme high side, and low side.

Accuracy wise with CFE Pistol I've found that it seems to be better loaded up to maximum charge.

I generally don't load light for my semi autos or MGs, especially with CFE Pistol. Always want as much punch that's just under 1100fps as I can get.
