Mossberg MC2sc Range Reveiw

[@davidroberts168]

You can actually take the 15 round magazine from the MC 2C and use it on the MC2CSC. All you have to do is get the 14 round mag take the plastic stopper on the magazine out and put it on the 15 round magazine and it works great.

[@Warrior-X]

I can’t understand why people complain about pulling the trigger on a Glock before take down. Of course the gun should be unloaded before taking it down, and there you are pulling the trigger on this gun anyway. What’s the difference?!

[@pewpewTN]

I've never understood that either. As someone that does a lot of dry fire practice, it feels pretty normal to me.

[@RidersRange]

I don't think it's so much complaining about having to pull the trigger, but more of a case where too many people have pulled the trigger with a round in the chamber. I know, I know - check the chamber and double check. But there are still lots of folks who rack the slide to remove the round from the chamber, THEN remove the magazine, thinking the gun is empty without that check and double check. Mossberg apparently is trying to reduce the liability. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Solid review Rider. Well thought out and delivered

[@RidersRange]

Thank you for watching, commenting -- and for loaning me the Mossberg for the review.

[@faustoramos8840]

Very interesting video comparison with others gun with almost same specs... Carry rotation the MC 2c and love it ... very surprise with how well shoots and feel !!! Thanks for honest & clear opinion!

I've got the MC1, runs perfect , about 600 rounds so far. It's becoming my go to.

[@settleschris1965]

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

I did not like the Sig 365XL and Sold it. I also Sold my Regular Sig 365….. just to small for me. I still own Both of the Mossberg pistols and I enjoy them much more the the 365 or even the Hellcats as of today. I am still testing and reviewing the Hellcats. I think both Mossberg pistols ran perfect for us, but I do wonder how good their Customer Service is. Thanks for the Video Review as always my friend. 🤠👍🇺🇸👮🏻‍♂️⭐️ B9USA Sr.

[@RidersRange]

As always, thank you for watching and commenting. My main complaint with the 365 is the grip circumference. I cured that with a Hogue HandAll, which makes it almost the same circumference as the Mossberg and much more comfortable to shoot.

[@AffordableArmory]

People said the same thing when I had that issue with the Taurus GX4 (shots were high and to the left). I liked the first Mossberg pistol (although I never got one) because it takes Glock 43 mags. This one looks pretty nice too. It’s good to have yet another offering in this size category.

[@RidersRange]

Mossberg definitely entered an increasingly crowded field. But they obviously felt they need to. Heck, even Kimber had to join the party with their R7 Mako.

[@AffordableArmory]

@@RidersRange It’s weird though. Mossberg = Shotgun (and a few decent rifles, I guess). Kimber = 1911. And they’re good at what they do. I will say I handled a Mako recently and I like how it feels.

[@RidersRange]

@@AffordableArmory Kimber also makes decent rifles and a pretty nice revolver. I wasn't very impressed with the Kimber EVO, but I DO like the Mako.

[@AffordableArmory]

@@RidersRange I forgot about their rifles. And yes, the K6 in all its variations is a beautiful revolver.

[@davidmoran7827]

Nice review! In a lot of the other reviews I've seen, the shooters haven't had any issues with accuracy. There may be an issue with your particular pistol. Would have been interesting to see if you had the same problems with a red dot. That would have at least removed the sights from the equation.

[@RidersRange]

Thank you for watching and commenting. I can usually shoot most pistols very well, but I haven't had good luck with the MC2sc, or the original MC1sc. This was a borrowed gun, so I couldn't keep it long enough for extensive testing.

[@humpterdink]

[@marksd5650]

The Sig P365 has spawned a host of small polymer hand guns; apparently there is something for everyone. I’m in Massachusetts so I’m restricted to 10 round magazines, therefore arguments made for higher capacity, double stack, magazines is moot. I’ve handled but not shot many guns like the MC2sc and find them too light. I carry a P365 xl in the summer and a P229 legion or P226 legion RXP in the winter, heavier clothing allowing me to more easily conceal. I shoot the 34 ounces very well, and such a gun is easier to control than the snappy 365, particularly with 142 grain hollow points. Caveat: I’m 66 and just prefer an all metal hammer fired gun to plastic striker fired (yes I know the 365 is plastic and striker fired). Some people will happily carry the MC2sc, which is better than not carrying. My wife carries a government Nighthawk. She won’t even consider the 365, though she does have an all metal Sig 232 in .380. Best Regards and thank you. Easily one of the best 5 firearm channels on KZbin. It’s a great deal of work putting these videos together.

[@RidersRange]

TFC, thank you very much for watching and commenting. I have a few years on you, but I concur that an all-metal hammer-fired pistol brings something to the table that a "plastic fantastic" just doesn't have. (Though I also carry my P365XL on rare occasion.) And thank you for your kind words about this channel. It's much appreciated.

[@craigromack6156]

I agree, I very much like steel frame and heavy pistols. But I am afflicted with the gun virus and if it goes bang, it is fun. There are specifics I look for and get, but much is on the table.

[@waynecastleman1363]

I don't see it being a bad gun at all , well introduced from Mossberg, the oldest family firearms company in the USA, so it's they know a thing or to about firearms. I believe this is their first pistol and it seems they understand the market very well producing this EDC design that fits today's easy carry favorite for many folks . I think it's a smart choice for Mossberg and will have its fans.

[@RidersRange]

It's a decent pistol for its intended purpose, but not Mossberg's first pistol. The MC1sc was introduced in 2019 (I did a couple reviews on that pistol), and it was Mossberg's first pistol introduction in 100 years. Then in 2020 they came out with the MC2 compact, followed this year by the sub-compact MC2sc. The MC1sc was a single stack 9 that took Glock 43 magazines. It wasn't really a hit and is no longer in the catalog. The MC2sc will have its share of fans and the price is decent. But it's tough to compete in the increasingly crowded sub-compact market and they are a little late to the party.

[@aloks313]

How’s recoil on the smaller gun? I have a SAR 9, wanted something smaller like this

[@RidersRange]

Recoil is pretty typical for this class of firearm. It's manageable, but I certainly won't win any Steel Challenge matches with it.

[@michaeld.butler2637]

Are the mags. Plastic or steel. Thank you.

[@RidersRange]

I believe they are steel, but don't quote me on that. I borrowed the gun for the review and I don't have it anymore.

[@craigromack6156]

Nice. I was told to not get a mossberg, but that was some time ago with no explanation. That's a possible new option, we'll see if the gun virus sends me that way.

[@RidersRange]

It is a decent pistol for its intended purpose, but not one I plan to spend my money on.

[@waynecastleman1363]

@@RidersRange Yes they are a bit late, however another choice is not a bad thing I suppose. It's not my cup of tea. I didn't do my homework as I should have . Lol, Thanks for bringing me up to date on Mossberg history. As of now I'm having trouble figuring out my next grab. It may be the Baretta Storm Rifle, Great video as always Thanks 👍

[@ronnstone7023]

I had much better luck shooting at the range. I also own a Shield Plus and the MC2sc is on par with the Shield. I like the way it breaks down but not certain how well the plastic housing for the striker assembly will hold up.

[@RidersRange]

I'm guessing that backplate will hold up for longer than most folks will own the gun. Thanks for watching.

[@geckomabster1625]

for other guns (p365, hellcat, shield plus) what material used as striker housing then?

[@Broken_Arrow58]

So this IS closer to a micro 9 than to a subcompact. Good capacity and rounded rather than blocky. You LIKE the unique takedown? Sig P365's smallness always amazes me.

[@RidersRange]

Klastu58, thanks for watching. I like that Mossberg designers thought out of the box and didn't copy the Glock or Smith takedown system. It certainly makes it less susceptible to unintended discharges.

[@Broken_Arrow58]

I’m definitely interested in this little gun but they’re no where to be found anywhere near me. Might just have to end up getting the new shield plus or the p365... what’s your pick out of those 2?

[@RidersRange]

Samuel, thank you for watching. The MC2sc is decent for its intended purpose, as is the Shield Plus which I recently reviewed. However, I haven't found anything that beats my Sig P365XL, or the regular P365. I've also tested the Hellcat, Taurus GX4, G3C, Kimber EVO and R7 Mako, Glock 43 and 48 (with Shield 15 round mags for the 48), and I keep coming back to the P365XL.

[@2023Red]

It seems you do not like that pistol. Missing the target is never the guns fault.

[@RidersRange]

R P, thank you for watching and commenting. I could probably do better with the MC2sc if I devoted a lot of training time with it, as most pistols are more inherently accurate than most shooters. However, if you have followed my channel for any length of time, you would know that I'm a decent shot, regularly hitting small steel plates at 50 yards with some pretty small pistols. So, some guns work better for me than others, and this one just doesn't fork for me.

[@papimiami1938]

Might be a wonderful firearm.... but it looks like a nice pistol and a hi point had a love child

I just purchased a MC2sc and really like it. Sold my 365 as it was just too small and I struggled with follow up shots as a result. This size seems just right for me. 15 round capacity, red dot ready and I shoot it very well. $449 makes for a solid package. My 43x with s15 mag option is a lot more $$. Hopeful that the holster options increase as I see this becoming my EDC. Thanks for the review.
