<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more details on the MC2c visit Mossberg.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mossberg is primarily known as a long gun manufacturer, but the first firearm they produced 100 years ago was a handgun.  The family-owned business is still at it, and they have a brand new pistol hitting the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was fortunate enough to be at the Mossberg media event at Gunsite Academy to spend a couple days getting to know the MC2c. The time on the range with the pistol, with the Gunsite facility, and with the Mossberg staff definitely left favorable impressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MC2c is a trim, glass-reinforced, polymer-framed, double-stack, compact 9mm pistol. With a width of only 1.1 inches it definitely feels slim for a high capacity pistol. The magazine, slide and frame have been designed with concealed carry in mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mossberg's

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will be five variations available based on sights, safety, and finish options. The standard sights are a low profile three-dot design set in dovetails in the stainless-steel slide. This allows drift adjustment for windage corrections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TRUGLO Tritium Pro night sights are available as an option as is a matte stainless slide instead of the DLC black finish. Mossberg was kind enough to use SIG #8 dovetail sight cuts for those wanting to go shopping for other sighting options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A model with a manual cross-bolt style safety is also available with different sighting options. This is an excellent choice for those carrying the pistol off body, e.g. in a purse or pack, or for those who desire additional safety alternatives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flush-fitting steel double-stack magazine holds 13 rounds and the 15-round extended magazine is also included with the pistol, giving you the best of both worlds; concealability and high capacity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than try to reinvent the wheel Mossberg sourced the magazines from Mec-Gar, one of the best mag manufacturers in the world. Using a steel magazine, as opposed to a polymer one, allowed them to keep the gun thinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all the drills at Gunsite while I was testing the MC2c the magazines functioned flawlessly, and performing reloads seemed easy with the tapered mags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mossberg's
Simple take-down of the MC2c requires no tools.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The polymer frame is well designed with a lightly undercut trigger guard and though it doesn\u2019t have \u201cfinger grooves\u201d there is a slight recess on the front strap for the top finger. The beavertail is high and well undercut making it very comfortable during firing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mossberg signature grip texturing has a nice grab that provides good traction without being overly aggressive. The vertical portion of the front of the trigger guard is well designed for those shooters that place their support hand index finger there for additional recoil control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The textured magazine release is made of steel and is reversible for southpaws. This was the only area of the pistol that presented any issues for me during the duration of the Gunsite trial period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While firing at speed, I would occasionally release the magazine due to the recoil. The Mossberg engineer at the event quickly investigated and documented each issue so they could be addressed before the official product launch. These guys were serious about working out any issues before it went into full production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mossberg's
Ergonomic grip, generous beavertail, and dual cocking serrations add to the MC2c design <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve had similar issues in years past on competition guns with large magazine releases and reduced tension springs. This type of issue is easily corrected with a slightly heavier spring, more magazine engagement, or a moderately reduced profile; easily addressed by the diligent engineers at Mossberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forward part of the frame has an accessory rail for attaching lights or lasers, though I would limit it to small accessories so as to not bulk up the slim pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The slide is made of one of my favorite barrel materials: 416 Stainless Steel. It features a tri-top finish on the slide along with front and rear cocking serrations. Considerable time was spent softening the corners and edges to make the MC2c more comfortable to carry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The front and rear cocking serrations were easy to grasp and made cycling the slide relatively easy. The rear of the slide contains the heart of the Mossberg Safe Takedown System (STS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mossberg's
Mossberg\u2019s Safe Takedown System (STS) allows easy removal of pistol striker<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pressing the button on the rear of the slide allows removing the rear plate and the striker for dis-assembly of the MC2c. This system eliminates the need to pull the trigger before disassembly thus reducing the chances of an accidental discharge during cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mossberg's
Trigger pull under 5 lbs. made shooting the MC2c a pleasure<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flat trigger features a blade safety and breaks at a safe, controllable pull weight. The trigger travel is about \u00bd\u201d inch with a very positive reset making follow-up shots quick and smooth after reset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve decided I really like flat, straight triggers. Gone are the days of long double-action revolvers where there was a need for your finger to roll through the trigger cycle, just give me a straight flat from now on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range Time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the watchful eye of Gunsite instructors, I ran hundreds of rounds through the MC2c. With the same grip angle as a 1911, the Mossberg was instinctive to draw and get on target. On the flat range the MC2c was able to easily meet the accuracy standards of all the Gunsite drills it was put through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During several man-on-man contests, the pistol really shined and demonstrated how fast a compact pistol could be shot. So long as the shooter did their part by keeping consistent trigger control there were no problems hitting reduced steel silhouettes out to 40-50 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mossberg's
Combat accuracy was no problem for the compact 9mm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ran one of the Scrambler courses that required engaging multiple targets, at varying distances, around a host of obstacles. The final shot once you were well winded was at a 6\u201d head plate about 25 yards downrange. Even with the compact 4\u201d barrel, the steel was easy to hit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During two house clearing scenarios at room-sized distances, the MC2c was easy to handle and fast to get controlled pairs and threes on the threat targets. Through all the Gunsite events my MC2c fed, cycled and ejected the variety of ammunition it was offered without issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think Mossberg did a great job of balancing the size, thickness and capacity challenges of today’s market. The MC2c is small and thin enough to conceal, big enough to grip and shoot well and has enough capacity to meet almost any shooter’s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MC2c is a solid feeling, smooth shooting, slim, well-designed compact 9mm with a wide variety of practical features. So, 100 years later Mossberg has another affordable pistol aimed at satisfying the public\u2019s desires, and they even included the 15 round extended mag — nice touch! MSRP runs between $490- $595 depending on the model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
