Smith & Wesson M&P FPC
Best compact carbine for shooters needing portable, high-capacity home defense.
This folding carbine bridges the gap between a pistol and a rifle, offering familiar ergonomics in a package that fits inside a backpack. While it lacks the raw power of a dedicated long gun, its ability to stow optics-ready firepower in such a compact footprint makes it an unmatched travel companion.
