Mossberg MC2sc - A New Option for a Micro-9 Double Stack

[@WATCHYOR6]

I literally seek out Hammer Striker for his incredibly detailed reviews of any firearm I am considering. In addition too his ultra smooth delivery of information. Thank You Hamma for your time and expertise.

[@nells1776]

Good review of a neat pistol. One point of clarification though, the rail isn't just for aesthetics - it's compatible with various lights and attachments designed to also fit the Sig P365.

[@eduardorivera4100]

The lines on the slide are attractive

[@yellowboxster06]

Nice review; practical design. I like the firing pin removal process but then I’d expect nothing less from Mossberg.

[@AaronGraves]

Got ya beat Hammer Striker, bought mine Tuesday for $373, plus $20 shipping though but it was in my hand Wednesday. By the time I add my $15 transfer, I'm not too much better. Great value for what you get.

Buy a CZ-75C and throw everything else in the trash where it belongs. Your welcome. 🤓

[@drmitofit2673]

The MC2sc has a bumped out area behind the mag release button to prevent inadvertent mag release when holstered and during handling. They neglected to put this on the bigger MC2c. This makes the mag button on the bigger model too exposed in my opinion. I put a stick on black rubber temporary rubber dot/pad (about 2.5 mm thick) there on my MC2c and it helps but could be even thicker. Once I find the best material and thickness, I will likely superglue a more permanent dot there.

[@drmitofit2673]

If people are wondering what allows the slide to come off with the Mossberg system, removing the striker prevents the striker lug fron catching on the sear (no trigger pull required) and removing the heavy duty metal back plate keeps it from abutting a polymer raised area behind the rear frame rails. I am a little concerned that this is metal on polymer impact. I recommend NOT slamming the slide closed on an empty gun. Riding the slide on an empty gun or lowering the slide on a dummy round or loading a live round dissipates much of this force.

[@7prs965]

Thanks. I wondered about that. Although there's a patent on this design wondered what kept other striker fired pistols from having a similar takedown especially ones that require tools lol.

[@exchiefkeith]

Yes you can use the rail. My O-Light Mini fits.

[@Samuel-pu8qs]

Really with no modification? And is it secure?

[@ForeverStrange101]

Have the mc2c as my carry and adore it (minus the lack of quality holster options) and interested in this, but until it gets a stainless slide (the MC line is just so good looking in two tone) I'll wait. Am interested in if mossberg will do those slide cuts for their older models!

[@Youniquedesign1892]

I didn't notice the serrations being different lol

[@ForeverStrange101]

@@Youniquedesign1892 sorry, meant optics cut

[@DiverBand]

@@ForeverStrange101 I wish they would do a much larger size pistol. Perhaps an MC3? With like a 4.3 to 4.5 inch barrel. I would be all over that.

[@simonsonjack]

nice review

[@rod675]

Really enjoy watching your review on this pistol. I've handled one several times now and really fits nicely. Mossberg not fully recognized? I think you said a key..You bought this gun. Mossberg really seems to me to be a wonderful Blue-collar working man's company..and maybe that also shows up in their marketing? Not sending out pistols to every influencer in the Gunverse? Very few reviews on this pistol out there.

[@lizzapaolia959]

Thanks for sharing this video. Definitely a nice pistol. God bless 🙏

[@frankbrowning328]

Another great video. A lot to like on this pistol. I especially like the flat trigger. However, I agree with you on the rail. They made a groove, Just finish it with a slot. If they continue to be available under MSRP I think they're a good value. At full MSRP price I don't see that they have enough to distinguish them from others that have secured themselves in the market such as the Sig P365 , the Springfield Hellcat and the Glock G26/27/33 family

[@drmitofit2673]

How is the extractor tension on your MC2sc? On my 13/15rd MC2c, it was way too high causing feed hesitation. Couldn't budge the extractor much at all with a bare finger and the bare slide held a round/rim in a death grip. I clipped (in two stages) a total of one coil from the extractor spring and lightly honed the extractor claw. Now feeds much smoother on riding the slide testing on brass-rimmed dummy rounds. Can now move the extractor with firm finger pressure and the bare slide grips a round/rim firmly but less than the previous death grip. Haven't been able to test fire yet, but felt like out of the box it wasn't range ready and would have had feeding problems. I scrutinize the extractor on every pistol I buy once I get it home. The extractor tension should be firm enough to hold a full round to the bare slide by the round's own weight and a mild shake. It should not be too firm to cause significant feed hesitation. If extractor tension is out of spec, range testing would just be frustrating, a waste of ammo, and confidence defeating.

[@saber0089]

Does that striker plate button also deactivate the striker or just for detaching the plate?

[@rod675]

Good shooting! Wow

[@scottbryant9425]

I just ordered one for get this, $303.00 plus $15 shipping. Hard to beat that other than maybe a Taurus. Couldn't pass it up.

[@kevinchan4951]

i havent seen any side car appendix holster for this pistol.

[@richharris9036]

My current EDC is the Mossberg MC2C and I love it. I'm just curious are the slides interchangeable between the mc2c and mc2sc?

[@keithstone5253]

Anybody know if this will fit in a MC1sc holster?

[@rod675]

My guess is that it should? Seeing that they seem to be the exact same dimensionally other than a slightly thicker grip? Kinda like the Shield Plus being compatible with the original Shield holsters? But just a guess?

[@waynecassels3607]

How long is the damn barrel????? Tell me the length of the barrel!!!!

[@kevinchan4951]

is the back plate metal or polymer?

[@JM-fr9bc]

Hammer striker, which is overall better, optic ready shield plus or this Mossberg?

[@ifureadthis_urgay]

The MC1sc accepts glock 43 mags. Does the MC2 accept the standard double-stack glock mags?

[@Youniquedesign1892]

no

[@geckomabster1625]

in general, can this gun match and compet with the likes of hellcat, p365 and shield plus setting aside the cost???

[@dadnsonbiulds1043]

I like it slightly better than my shield, slightly.

[@thelawonguns5217]

Maybe I had an off day but I just shot mine last night for the first time and it kicks/recoils way harder than the Hellcat or P365. It was hard to get traction on the grip when firing too. The trigger was painful, the little bump out at the bottom is sharp when shooting. I struggled with keeping hits on target when firing 1 round per second. Frustrated, I then decided to try my Beretta px4 storm compact with it's 3.25" barrel (the MC2sc has a 3.4") and man what a difference! I was on point tearing one hole at the same 21 feet. Not sure what to think at this point.....I may sell it. 🤔

[@faustoramos8840]

Different guns... can’t compare a micro 9mm with a Beretta px4 storm , build for different purposes. I have the same observation here. Can’t find one micro that convinced me to beat my Walther PPS LE. Try the MC2c instead of the mc2sc. Let us know . Don’t sale the Beretta.

[@wardroland270]

Thanks HS. Great job. Good info. LETS GO BRANDON

[@floydblack7115]

Another micro compact ? Nice ..

[@DiverBand]

Can you use these magazines for the MC1SC as well?

[@pcnotpc59]

No. These magazines are metal and based off those with the MC2c. The MC2c 15-round magazine will fit in this one. Not sure about the 13-round magazine.

[@Broken_Arrow58]

See this as more falling into that Glock 26 / S&W M&P 2.0 Subcompact no-mans-land and would probably buy those two before this. Funky takedown and faux rail are negatives. Brand, value and capacity are its greatest attributes.

[@Youniquedesign1892]

from owning the others...the takedown is awesome imo

[@Youniquedesign1892]

good bit smaller then the 26 etc as well.

[@thelawonguns5217]

You are confused. The MC2sc is lighter and thinner than either of the 2 you mentioned. Basically, if we went off your views then the Shield 9 is in no man's land?? Because this gun is about the same except for the MC2sc is even lighter and shorter overall than the shield! So ya, definitely closer to a micro 9 than those fat heavy pigs you mentioned. The takedown is brilliant too. Lot's of rounds accidentally fired from guns that people who don't have the option of taking their gun apart without pulling the trigger. The rail is meh, who cares really. Most carry guns will never have a light mounted to the rail anyway. Anyway, so far this looks to be a winner.

I just got my MC2SC this past week. Aside from the holster Mossberg shows in their website (which doesn’t appear to have an optics cut), have you heard of any mfrs making IWB holsters for it?’

[@rod675]

I was looking at Vedder. They make one for the MC1SC and the MC2SC appears to basically be the same dimensions other than a slightly larger grip..which shouldn't really matter? But not sure how an optics would fit into it if that's a desire?

[@MikeSchmidt]

[@faustoramos8840]

Difficult to decide here , to buy the MC2 C or MC2sc?. Looking for small back up easy to carry new micro 9mm. Still carry my favorite single stack Walther PPS LE as back up and with me . Recently this high capacity micro guns got my attention. But Hellcat don’t feel good in my hand. Sigs , good guns but not willing to paid the price of a full gun for a micro , new plus Shield to big, so Moossberg looks like a better choice. Getting crazy here between both options, MC2c or MC 2 sc. Will love to hear your opinion. Thanks!!

[@rod675]

Haven't bought either yet myself but from what I understand the MC2C is a pleasure to shoot. It feels very good in the hand.

Love the Shield Plus , all of them , but it doesn’t fill well in my hand under the trigger guard. I try to stay away from micro pistols. Moosberg, both the MC2c & the MC 2 sc fills very nice in my hands and fingers. Thanks for your insights!!!

[@richardefriend]

Is the width of the 'rail' standard sized, so that if one were to surgically remove enough polymer to create a slot, the MSC2sc could securely hold a light or laser (and in particular the Olight Baldr Mini)?

[@drmitofit2673]

Weird that the MC2sc has 11rd and 14rd mags and the MC2C has 13rd and 15rd mags.

[@pittsimaging]

I have both the 2C and 2sc. The mags are interchangeable. I bought a few 15 mags for my 2C and now use them on the 2sc. I will buy another 14 mag for the 2sc to get the mag grip extender and put that on the 15 round mag so I don't have a gap on the 2sc and use the 14 round mag, which fits flush on the 2C.

[@danielk0106]

Same exact size as the Glock 43. The Glock 26 is fatter and shorter. They are overpriced.

[@normansmith9683]

I'll save my money for ammo and get a G3c before I would buy one of those mouse traps.
