Thanks for an excellent review. I was one of those buyers on the fence, who could not decide between the Response and FPC. Will now get a Response for the reasons you explained. Cheers!

What forward handle grip did you install on the Response?

being an S&W guy, I love my fpc. got it on sale at palmetto state armory. My red dot has held zero at 25 yards hand held. The recoil is much lighter than shooting the 9mm out of my shield plus. Almost feels like you're shooting a 5.7 out of a hand gun. Nice gun for the money with 63 rounds at the ready. would be nice if they came out with a 10mm.

What I really love about these two from Smith and Wesson is that they work right out of the box while some of their competitors need $100- $200 worth of springs, extractors, feed ramps and other parts just to make them reliable shooters

2 pccs I currently own are Ruger pc9 and FPC. Even though the Ruger's more aesthetically pleasing, I'd keep the FPC as it would be faster handling in emergencies.

Thanks for a competent no BS review.

I’ve been watching some of your videos after I subscribed a few days ago and between what I already read about the S&W FPC I decided that later on in the day I’m going to go ahead and order it, I’m going with your choice on the optic the Vortex Strikefire 2 which seems to be a great choice, I went and checked prices at a few places and Amazon had the best price at $168 so I googled to try and find one of those coupon codes and low and behold I found a pretty good one for Palmetto State Armory which was a $80 off on the Vortex but their price was $200 and free shipping so after the discount,taxes and I paid a few extra dollars for that shipping insurance they have, anyway I got it for $131.99 after everything was said and done, I’ll continue to watch your videos and learn as much as possible on it, I’ll give it a good cleaning after I pick it up from my ffl, thank you for sharing those videos I appreciate it a lot sir, I hope you have a great weekend that’s coming up brother.

Any idea what the recall for the Response is. I received an e-mail from the company asking me to return the rifle for repair. It's for rifles made before Feb 12, 2024.

Was confused when the respinse dropped after the fpc. Im a m&p fanboy so cant decide. Being able to.use same mags makes me want them

Thanks for this. I like the feel of the S&W better. I might wait for the price to come down first…

There are many many aftermarket aluminum charging handles available. Thanks for this comparison.

Just an FYI……pretty much any AR15 charge handle works on the Response……courtesy of the knowledgeable people at TACCOM

Thank you for the valuable information! I have the FPC, so far, very happy with it!

I think they should make the FPC again, a 2.0 Where they update it to have all the pluses of the Response And always make a 10mm version.

As usual great feedback! Thanks What's your long term evaluation of the Taccom products? Buffer plug and Muzzle brake for FPC? George

The folding feature means it takes up less space in the gun safe!

Thanks for the comparison/review. How about the recoil response of them? Does one hold steadier after shots? Thanks

Great comparison.

Hello, I Follow all your videos, great job! Question about Mean Green cleaner. What gun cleaning do your use it for? I see it removes carbon fowling well. What about use as bore cleaner? Is there anything you wouldn't use it for? It sure is a lot more cost effective than any of the gun cleaning products we normally use! Thanks, George

Great comparison video. What muzzle end do you have on the response? I also asked on one of your other video's. I agree the gun looks un finished without one. thank you

What is the blue mod on the magazine? Like most have commented, the factory mags could be improved. Do you have a link to your mod?

Thank you for this video and great review of both PCC products. I am very interested in the response option and may try to make a purchase later this year. I was wondering what piece you put on the end of the barrel instead of the thread protector… I have heard the thread protector also becomes loose as you shoot it, so would be interested in knowing what you used to replace the thread cover and give it a more pleasant barrel design. Thank you for sharing :-)

Can someone explain to make what model sight/scope that is on the FPC that if fits over the rear of the rifly instead of the front pic rail?

I just got a FPC. Can you tell me where you got those blue mags to use instead of the blue mags?

where did you get the mussel device ? i want one for my responce

Hi there, thanks for an outstanding content. Do you find the rail that you installed over the action housing solid and stable? Does it come with extended screws? Much appreciated!

Would you be able to test some AR15 parts compatibility with the Response? Like, would a standard free-float handguard fit without needing modification? Would a standard AR15 charging handle fit and function?

Where did you get those neat little blue caps at the bottom of your mags

ok talk about the bottome of the mag plates of the fpc. did you find a alternative from using those adaptors?

Where do i get that 3 dolla birdcage??

I'm seriously thinking about getting the smith and wesson response

I have a keltec. I like it but seeing the MP FPC I feel like I want to go trade my keltec in. Sure I can’t use Glock mags but I think FPC is a little better than the keltec. Where did you get the blue magazines?

Brand new FPC it will eject shells out of the magazine into the chamber, and then clear, but upon firing the spent shell does not clear and jams with next round feeding. Do you have a solution for me? Thank you for your contact.

Are the bolts the same if not how are they different

I had an issue with my Response. I could not clear an Underwood 147gr JHP from the chamber. Ejected the mag, pulled back the charging handle... and it wouldn’t budge. After some extreme effort, I finally got the bolt carrier to pull back to eject the live round. But not before the charging handle pinched my finger and gave me a nice black blood blister. I’ve ordered a Breek Arms Warhammer and will be replacing the polymer charging handle on the Response ASAP. In my opinion, the polymer charging handle is perhaps the weakest link with this fine PCC, and I can only wonder what S&W was thinking. Regarding that 147gr round, I’m wondering if the Response doesn’t like that particular grain round. I’ve had zero issues with Underwood loaded Speer Gold Dot JHP rounds.

What muzzle device did you throw on those?

A good no b.s. review. TY

Nice review. I would add, for the FPC, I was not a big fan of that charging handle smacking back and forth right on my nose.

Whats these problems everyone is tslkin about?.bought 2 no issues well into 1k rounds

How did you put a mount on the rear of the FPC?

I always feel screwed over when a company puts out a product...FPC....and then after so many are sold....puts out dang near a replica of that product and it arguably is better than the first. Second, it makes me wonder is SW going to let the problems the FPC has go unresolved? Had I had the choice between the two, I as well would have gone with the Response. But now I dont have that option because unlike so many on here that can just go buy a gun at the drop of a hat, I have to factor in bills and eating. Just FYI...Promag has a 32 round mag that will fit the FPC.
