There, hidden by pinyon-and-juniper-covered hill country, Mossberg recently unveiled an updated version of their very successful subcompact handgun to a select group of gun writers.

(Yes, just over one hundred years ago Mossberg <em>did<\/em> offer a handgun; the \u201cBrownie\u201d. It was a four-barreled affair chambered in .22 Long Rifle and marketed mostly toward trappers. It was discontinued some thirteen years later.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a click of the heels and a snappy attitude, the MC1sc took its place among today\u2019s lineup of trusted concealed-carry handguns. It\u2019s a 9mm caliber piece well designed for concealed-carry use &#8211; a striker-fired unit that sports a slender profile, single-stack magazines, (6-round flush and 7-round extended), and other features that render it both attractive and reliable for daily use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"FIRST LOOK: THE NEW MOSSBERG MC2sc HANDGUN\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"FIRST LOOK: THE NEW MOSSBERG MC2sc HANDGUN\" class=\"wp-image-152342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-2-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-2-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Mossberg\u2019s new MC2sc is a tight, ergonomic package well-suited for everyday carry.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">REMODLED \u2013 THE MC2sc<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With Mossberg\u2019s introduction of the MC2sc, they\u2019ve addressed the biggest shortcoming their little carry pistol had; limited capacity. To keep up with the big dogs in the arena of little handguns, the MC2sc needed to be capable of gulping down an alarming amount of cartridges, and then reliably producing them when called upon. The engineers at Mossberg did an admirable job with the re-design. A new MC2sc comes with two magazines; an 11-round flush-fit, and a 14-round extended. And they managed to keep the grip gracefully narrow, just 1.10 inches thick as opposed to the MC1sc at 1.03 inches. That\u2019s only seven-hundredths of an inch thicker in trade for double the firepower. This magic was accomplished by using slim profile double stack metal magazines in the MC2sc, rather than the single stack polymer mag used in the MC1sc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"FIRST LOOK: THE NEW MOSSBERG MC2sc HANDGUN\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-3-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"FIRST LOOK: THE NEW MOSSBERG MC2sc HANDGUN\" class=\"wp-image-152343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-3-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-3-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Optics Ready: the MC2sc slide is cut to accommodate Micro-Dot optics.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another interesting upgrade to the MC2sc is optics-ready capability. Common Micro-Dot optics are a snap to install; simply remove the plate atop the slide and install any optic with a JPoint or Shield footprint in its place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from these two major design changes the little Mossberg pistol remains largely the same. Sure, the engineers tweaked a little here and adjusted a bit there, but for the most part, it\u2019s the same handgun we\u2019ve come to know and respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"FIRST LOOK: THE NEW MOSSBERG MC2sc HANDGUN\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-4-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"FIRST LOOK: THE NEW MOSSBERG MC2sc HANDGUN\" class=\"wp-image-152344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-4-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-4-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-4-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-4-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-4.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The new, high-capacity sub-compact pistol performed nicely through a day\u2019s worth of exercises and drills.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TESTING AND SHOOTABILITY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There were twenty-three of us on the line at Gunsite, each with a brand-new MC2sc holstered. Over the next eight or so hours we checked zero, shot groups at a variety of distances, performed speed drills, and wrung the little handguns out any way we could. Now, I\u2019m far from an expert with this type of firearm, but even so, I was able to shoot the \u201cEl Presidente\u201d drill at par on my second attempt. For those of you who (like me) are unfamiliar with the drill, it consists of three targets placed one yard apart, shot from the ten-yard line. The shooter must start holstered, draw and shoot each target twice, reload, and again shoot each target twice. Par for the exercise (when shooting a semi-auto handgun) is a clean round (no misses) in ten seconds or less. To me, the fact that I was able to complete an unfamiliar drill with a brand-new handgun at par on my second attempt was a testament to the shootability of the firearm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"FIRST LOOK: THE NEW MOSSBERG MC2sc HANDGUN\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-5-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"FIRST LOOK: THE NEW MOSSBERG MC2sc HANDGUN\" class=\"wp-image-152345\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-5-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-5-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-5-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-5-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-5.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>Two MC2sc handguns; the one on the left sporting a Micro-Dot sight and extended mag, the one on the right wearing plainclothes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Subcompact pistols are not famous for accuracy, but the MC2sc pistols shot remarkably well. Several of my unsupported seven-yard 5-shot groups could have been covered with a quarter. We weren\u2019t using soft-shooting target ammo either; we used the best, hottest Hornady ammo available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last exercise we got to do was a fun little run-and-gun scrambler where we shot fourteen steel targets from a variety of positions and at diverse distances as fast as we could, running between positions. Again, I was impressed by the little handgun\u2019s shootability and accuracy, making first-shot hits on 13 of the 14 targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"FIRST LOOK: THE NEW MOSSBERG MC2sc HANDGUN\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-6-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"FIRST LOOK: THE NEW MOSSBERG MC2sc HANDGUN\" class=\"wp-image-152346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-6-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-6-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-6-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-6-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arammmmjhg-6.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Right hand: Micro-Dot sight and extended magazine.
