I’ll admit: Mossberg’s new pistol has some interesting features

Sure, everyone and their mother is now making a subcompact, single-stack, 9mm polymer-framed striker-fired handgun, but Mossberg’s new MC1sc pistol has all that and a little extra. Like it has clear magazines (that interchange with G43 sticks) and a super-easy take-down system that does not require you to pull the trigger– which is always a bonus! Plus they offer it with an optional cross-bolt manual safety, which is sure to be a hit with the guys that are into that sort of thing.

Front and rear slide serrations, flat-profile trigger, an optional manual safety, 6/7+1 9mm capacity, 19-ounces, 6.45″ x 4.25″ x 1.06″ dimensions = The MC1sc has a lot going on

The gun was the buzz of SHOT Show last week and everyone was lined up at Mossy’s booth to lay hands on it.

Mossberg…now in a pistol

Posted on by One comment

In honor of their 100th Anniversary, Mossberg has announced a return to the type of platform they launched with in 1919 — a compact pistol.

Announced Thursday, the new 9mm Mossberg MC1sc pistol weighs some 22-ounces while fully loaded (19 empty), largely due to its polymer frame. Billed as ideal for every day carry, the new pistol boasts a 6-round flush-fit and 7-round extended magazine while a 3.4-inch barrel translates to a 6.25-inch overall length. As such, it is about the same size as the standard Glock 43 which boasts the same magazine capacity.

The problem is, with so much market share already invested deep in the Ruger LC9/EC9, S&W Sheild, HK VP9SK, and the G43, I feel like this pistol will get about as much love as the Taurus AR15 or Remington R51.
