Not What I'd Pick: EAA Girsan MC14T Full Review

We had the time to get this new 380 ACP EAA Girsan MC14 T to the range and the results were disappointing. I paid full price for this, so this is my honest owner review. I would recommend this for a collector, but I would not try to have my Mom try to operate this, let alone rely on it as her primary self defense weapon. But, for the collector, such as Hammer and myself, it is a neat item to try out, because of it's tip up barrel. I do not think I will keep it long term though, because for the price point that it is at, I expect a lot less problems / short comings.

I went out and bought this gun for my collection and have put 1000 rounds down range and had no misfeeds or other problems. Thanks

[@Kyle-eg1so]

Took my elderly mother to the range, she had a glock 19, she couldn't pull the slide anymore with her age, so we decided this is the perfect fit for her so she doesn't have to work the slide to load it. This is a perfect fit for her. I like it so much, I might get one for myself too...lol.

[@seanmcmanus9656]

I want the g84 it's the 84bb essentially.

[@brianshuler6951]

We need more guns in this catagory that we can recommend to people with compromised strength and dexterity. I am sorry to hear that this one may not satisfy that need. Also, I am also disappointed that the Beretta PX4 is seldom included in lists of very good DA/SA pistols. After thousands of rounds, I think the PX4 is among the most reliable and easy shooting of these styles of handguns. As always, thanks for a great video.

[@AKS-74U]

The PX4 is basically Berettas version of the HK Mk23. The durability and reliability are basically second to none.

[@agricola]

I prefer the p229/226 as far as DA/SA guns go. Most guns in that category (including the px4 and 92fs) have the DA trigger sitting too far out for my shortish fingers to operate comfortably.

[@andrewgee241]

The tip up barrel means you cannot have an extractor. It would prevent the barrel from tipping up. None of the Beretta tip up models (21a, 3032, 950, 96) have an extrator. It is the trade off for not needing to pull back the heavy recoil spring on blowback pistols.

[@mattdevarney947]

Beretta 84/86 and sds fatih mags all work with this gun. So it's actually $25 for a new magazine not $40. Fit and finish are excellent on mine. 500 plus rounds so far with zero issues has fed and ejected everything properly. Have had the slide bite once or twice but it's negligible. So far no complaints with mine.

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

Beretta 86 is a single stack 8 round 380 fwiw.

[@DesertAZ]

Great review. You are one of my go to reviewers for firearms. I think the biggest drawback to this pistol is the inability to really field strip this gun. The beretta Tomcat with its tip up barrel allows you to field strip it. Stay safe 👍

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

Its 1 roll pin that has to be removed to be able to strip the barrel, slide spring off the tip up barrel Girsan MC14T Many reviewers get this wrong unfortunately. Its because of the unique design of the tilt up barrel that they had to do this. If you really need a tilt up barrel its prolly not a big deal to take out a single roll pin to completely take down a pistol for cleaning and lubricating. IMHO. To the average tactical guy that is shooting Glocks,Rugers, S&W's etc it may be a big deal to him. But I doubt he needs a tilt up barrel.

[@cyberjoe77]

Nice looking gun, was considering it cause its rather unique but way too many quirks I’d have to figure out. The clearing issue is a big one. Thx for the review.

[@ironmikehallowween]

It’s not really an issue. It’s just different. It’s easier actually.

[@crabbyturtle1594]

Excellent review. Thank you for going over all the features good/bad.

[@aaronfarnsworth7653]

In the manual exploded diagram it appears you would have to drive out a helix pin that secures the barrel fixing pin. Then it looks like the slide and recoil spring and guide rod should be able to slide off the front. That could have been made with an ar style pushpin that would have allowed tool less disassembly for a thorough cleaning.

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

Maybe, but maybe not, with all the force and vibration on the actual barrel they may have figured a roll pin was safer. On a AR its just holding a lower on. Everything on the upper is secure and tight. I guess a firearms engineer would have to confrm this. unfortunately they are as rare as hens teeth. 😁😆😅

[@jonhaugen5799]

I think I'll stick with the Ruger Security 380 but it was still a great review ( 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴).

[@bflochip8129]

Very nice review. Exactly the feedback I needed and could not find anywhere else. Thank you

[@toddparsons2980]

I was all excited about this pistol but I think you've talked me out of wanting one. Thanks for the thorough review.

[@RevLarry]

Thank you for your accurate review. No extractor and to hard to clean. I was looking at getting one, but not now! I subscribed.

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

I just bought one of these Girsan MC14T's. Its not a big deal imho. Its 1 roll pin that you remove, then remove the slide and barrel. With a tilt up barrel its probably imperative that the hinge pin cannot loosen, or fall out, no matter what. I think that is why they had to do it with a roll pin. Berretta and Girsan both built it that way, for a reason.

[@Renaldo135]

Looks like the old Beretta Cheetah models made in the .380 caliber back in the nighties. Made for handicap people and people with weaker hands. Never sure why they didn't take off in sales. Excellent guns.

[@Sandhill1988]

They took off in price have you seen them lately 😮.

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

@@Sandhill1988 The tilt up barrel Beretta 86 was the rarest of all of the 8 series 80 Beretta pistols. I'm pretty sure that is why they are so pricey these days. There are very, very, few around, and there were never many made. I think Berretta may have screwed up by not re releasing the 86 and instead re released the 80X . (not a tilt up barrel 380). But then again it would be close to a $1000.00 pistol from Berretta so maybe they didnt. Prolly not a huge market for 1000.00 380s in volume anyway. EAA/Girsan really scooped them on this with the latest market trend of Ruger's "Lite Rack" 380 and S&Ws "Easy Rack" 380 pistols. This is even better- the MC14T "No Rack 380" 😆😅🤣😂 I just bought a 2 tone MC14T new, for under $400.00 and I recently saw a pristine 86 at auction here in MO for $1599.00 It had its case ,manual and its 2- 8 round single stack mags. Ill take this new Girsan with 13 round mags and shoot the heck out of it and enjoy it. It would be hard to do that with an original 86 these days. Oh yeah the Girsan MC14T can use the Berretta's new 80x doublestack 13round mags from Mc Gar/Berretta. I just ordered 3 of them for under 30.00 each.

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

Very nice review of its workings and controls and manual of arms. This showed some of this pistols strengths and weaknesses! Don't forget the new Ruger Security 380 is a "Lite Rack" 15+1 to compete with the S&W "Easy Rack". I just bought a Ruger new for $279.99 as my 1st 380. I like these all metal, older style, fixed barrels, like this one, and the Bersa Thunder Plus 15+1. I cant afford the new Non tilt up barrel, Berretta 80X, or lets say I just couldn't justify its $800.00 price. I wonder if these 2 manufacturers would have different weight springs available for different power load sized ammo? Maybe Wolff Springs might. DA/SA's definitely have a different manual of arms to learn. That is primarily why I chose the Ruger. I would hate not being able to field strip and clean the rails, etc. However that is not the case with the Girsan. Its 1 rollpin in the hinge pin collar that has to be removed to remove the hinge pin collar and hinge pin then the barrel and half the hinge lift out and the slide slides off! I have read its much worse on the original and extremely rare Berretta 86's as they supposedly had a splined hinge pin that is very hard to remove. I cant confirm this, as I have never even seen an original 86, IRL much less gotten to strip it for cleaning. I love these older style metal guns , I may also try a Bersa Thunder Max someday. Thanks again for honest, excellent explanations, and going thru all the intricacies of manual of arms etc of the Girsan MC14T.

[@kennethbrantley9582]

Interesting. Beretta had a single stack pistol that was a 380 and it had a flip-up Barrel. Only a few made it to the United States. So they are worth a lot more.

[@lisakozlowski4057]

I remember that. I wonder if they had the same problems with that model.

[@dr.a.w]

@@lisakozlowski4057 That was the 86. I've got one and it has no problems. It doesn't have an extractor, either.

Thanks for the detailed review. I really appreciate the pro/con approach you used.

[@mkshffr4936]

If it is reliable this is exactly what I would want in a bottom feeder. Nice backup to main revolver.

[@rancher...7948]

I have had both the Beretta .22 and ,25 tip up models for 25 years. Neither of them has failed to operate. One is stored under a car seat and the other under a table/magnet. I also pocket carry them. I do like the safety of just opening the barrel to remove the live round to disable the weapon. The hand grip is to short on the Bereatta for me to fully grasp them as a larger framed pistol might. Now this MC14T might have the right size grip in length and my current carry PPKL .380 is old school heavy steel. I like it but it is heavy. I only use top end ammunition so I suspect this pistol would do well. I am also strong enough to clear any slide action yet I prefer not to in order to chamber an emergency round. This MC14T also has a magazine which holds your first round at the bottom to quickly load the barrel if needed.

[@kentereau6017]

This could be the next trend in EDC pistols

[@pnwpovsurfer_]

It’s definitely cool looking but seems a bit high maintenance.

[@briansavage932]

All that being said it looks like a fun gun.

[@chrissewell1608]

I like it, especially the 13 + 1 rounds! It really should have had a dovetail front sight, and optics ready, but they were keeping to the original design. And a threaded barrel!

[@frankbrowning328]

I wonder why they didn't use the barrel design from the Beretta Tomcat in which you rotate the barrel up and over and then you can remove the slide

[@kristapsziemelis]

No ejector....show stopper.

I agree! And thanks for your comment. I was 2 minutes into the video when I read what you said. Thanks to you, I quickly turned the video off.

[@ronaldwright1861]

We just got the MC14 T Lady for my wife. She loves the look and feel of the gun. 2 issues at this point. NO single round loader came with the gun as shown in a May 2023 video; 2nd one, the magazine is extremely hard to load. My wife only managed to get ONE round into the mag. I managed to load 12 but the 13th didn't make it. Left with some sore thumbs. Only one mag is also a drawback at the $682 retail price.. So, we will be making a call to EAA tomorrow to talk about the missing single round loader and the hard loading magazine. Maybe there is a mag loader that will work with this magazine. IF not, I would NOT recommend it for a woman or a man with weak hands.

[@HammerStriker]

The one in our video did not come with it either, at the time it was listed as an optional accessory that wasn't even available on their website.

[@ronaldwright1861]

It's on their website for $8. for the clip and $50 with a magazine w/clip installed.. Hard to believe they wouldn't include it for probably a $3.00 cost.@@HammerStriker

[@drywalldude99]

Somebody needs to take this brilliant design, make it so it can be field stripped, put an extractor on it, dove tail the front sight for night sights, fix the beaver tail and chamber in 9mm

[@jknewb6276]

Very good points on when one can have a malfunction like you explained and then it can be a little bit more tricky to clear that malfunction if the person has issues pulling the slide back. I very much like this gun as well, I dig the various colors I'd still be a buyer!!

[@Not_So_Weird_in_Austin]

Always good indepth presentations thanks. Does the cheetah have an extractor?

[@Mikelp73]

I’m on a wish list, excited. Fde version.

[@hobofactory]

I’ve had a couple of the tip- up Berettas and also a couple Taurus PT-22’s and haven’t found any of them to be very reliable compared to designs that have extractors. There’s probably a reason it’s an idea that’s not super common.

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

Ok This is a almost exact copy of a very rare Beretta 86 pistol. Beretta's rarest of all the 8 models of Series 80 pistols. I recently saw an original 86 with case, 2 -8rnd mags, and manual at auction for $1599.00 here in MO. Pretty crazy! Turkish gunmakers like Tisas and Girsan are fantastic at copying history's older all metal guns and releasing them, many times at about 50% of the cost of the now older used originals. Also many times they are nearly the same quality as well. In this case Girsan updated the 86 to a doublestack 13 round over the originals 8 round single stack. They also added the rail to improve the looks and the ability to add a light, etc. The original looked very strange with tons of metal all across the bottom just for strength and support for the hinge pin. Some have complained neither can be field stripped easily with no tools. That is because of its unique tilt up barrel. The MC14T requires 1 roll pin to be removed to remove the barrel and slide. Its not a big deal to drive out 1 roll pin on the hinge pin collar, then remove the hinge pin collar and hinge pin. Then the barrel and half the hinge lift off and the slide and spring are slid off and everything can be cleaned and lubed. If removing 1 tiny roll pin is "Gunsmith Work" You probably don't need, or want, or should have, a tilt up barrel pistol. Girsan doesn't even mention how to do this in their manual! Many reviewers fail to explain or show how easy this is to do. Girsan says that just tilting the barrel up and cleaning the barrel is a "field strip" So much for Turkish manuals! I will bet that Berretta who designed this pistol says otherwise. We all know that slides need to be removed and cleaned and lubed, and its pretty simple. I just purchased one of these Girsan MC14T's to go along with my 3.42" Ruger Security 380. These Girsan's are 4.5" barrels on the MC14T. I will enjoy it and shoot the heck out it for under $400.00 and not feel a bit bad about it. I could Not do that, even if I could find, or justify, an original Berretta 86, single stack, 8 round ,tilt up barrel, $1000.00+ pistol.

[@andreawhalen4142]

Yeah and it out shoots the betetta 86 too

[@My-Name-Isnt-Important]

I'm not really sure why Girsan made this pistol. They already have a copy of the Beretta 84 which is an excellent pistol.

[@andrewgee241]

Girsan also makes copies of the Hi-Power and 1911. The MC14T makes more sense than those since nobody else is making a tip-up 380 - not even Beretta anymore.

[@TheBoxingCannabyte]

I had to sell most of my gun collection a couple years ago thanks to our oh-so-awesome healthcare system, not getting into it but i think anyone owuld be pissed in my position, anyway, i got a walther PPK/s .22 which i carry on the regular, never had an issue with it, im pretty damn good with shot placement, i have seen combat, if not that HK P30LS (which having owned 35 pistols and operated more, it's my most-trusted, but too big) im doing little armed protection gigs and was looking at more blowback designs, outside of the, and iwas proud of this, the Smith n Wesson Equalizer is basically a hypothetical gun i designed in a notebook years ago i was stoked to see an engineer for Smith n Wess apparently had the same ideas going (my final addition would have been modular with an optiona high carbon steel frame which i know would change a lot of things but the SIG P250 works fantastic as a hammer-fired modular, but an internal hammer fired modular gun? IDK enough about gunsmithing to know if that owuld be an issue or not) Anyway, in wanting to keep with what I love: The PPK (or maybe a SAR 9 for a HK VP9/Walther-ish clone) the Equalizer, Walther PPQ, this gun here, and finally, what i think ive ofund to be the perfect intersection on budget-meets-reliability and capacity: The Bersa Combat Plus .380. Now I don't see as many issues as you do, i dont mind, buuuut, seeing as how i could find a Combat Plus .380 for around $380 after taxes, maybe $325-350, it really seems like it's fair to put it up against this (the others being such a diff design and price range wouldn't be as fair it's more what I'm shopping around with). I of course wish I could get an HK P30 V1 LEM and graygun mod that bitch but id have to find one used for $500 or less, now ive found deals like that before (SIG P229 is my moby dick but again, likely not gonna happen all the police trade-ins are sold out so.....) Bersa is more than likely what im getting but i wouldn't rule this out. On the Wlather PPK/S .22, ive been very surprised at the stopping power with the right ammo, knowing one other person who had to use one in self-defense. Finally just an aside, the new Taurus .38 2" or 2.5" barrel 6 shooter /w spurred hammer, but clocking around 20 oz has me intrigued. So i got a big decision, im looking for lowest price possible meets reliability, having been so into my PPK i think the Bersa would suit me best, could share a lot of holsters, carry the PPK/S .22 as backup, etc. I really love this design, would love to get it, if only it were $75 cheaper on the regular and i could rent it next to a bersa, i think they are highly comparable. The Bersa combat plus .380 btw, is one of my "go to" for teaching newbies on a budget.

There were very, very, few 8 round single stack Tilt up barrel Berretta 86's ever made. Its the rarest of the 8 models of series 80 Berretta's made. Girsan really knocked it out of the park on this one I think with todays "lite rack" and "easy rack" 380s EAA/Girsan have the "No Rack 380" The trade off is, you have to remove 1 roll pin to take off the barrel and slide. Big freakin deal.

[@jamesmcgrath1952]

[@ghostshadow9046]

Had the berretta to really get it clean without tools basically involved hosing it down then drying it off and wiping it down.

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

Hard to believe that Berretta would design a pistol that could not be disassembled to clean and lube after 500 yrs of making firearms. The Girsan has 1 roll pin to remove on the hinge pin collar, then the collar slides off, the hinge pin slides out, and the barrel and 1/2 the hinge lift out, and the slide slides off. Its really pretty simple. The tilting barrel design is why it has to have 1 roll pin. If removing that 1 roll pin is a big deal, you prolly do not need a tilt up barrel pistol. That is fine too. There is only these 2 tilt up barrel 380 pistols and they are not for everyone. The Berettas are extremely rare and almost impossible to acquire, and when they are, they bring insane prices. I recently saw a pristine old Berretta model 86 here in MO with its plastic case 2 -8round mags and its manual that was listed on auction for $1599.00! Insanity! IMHO. So the Girsan MC14T is really the only one today. I just bought a doublestack, 13 round, Girsan MC14T, and I'll shoot the heck out of it for under $400.00! I could not bring myself to do that with a extremely rare, old, single stack, Berretta 86.

[@joep8787]

Too large & heavy for edc pocket carry. Checked out the Sig p365 in 380. Bought the Sig. I will say that the Girsan is a good looking gun. If I owned it and there were pearl or ivory grips available, that's how I'd go.

On the issue of "Slide bite" or "Hammer bite", I've been a shooter for 50+ years, and a good pair of shooting gloves is always in my range bag!

It just seems 😕 bizarre to my ears to hear all this bellyaching about slide/hammer bite! GET SOME GLOVES! Problem solved. (Many, many guns are fussy about the brand/type of ammo that they run best with! I can't say I'm surprised that you were able to find a brand/type that the gun "didn't like"!

Would be nice if the company offered free cleanings since the disassembly is pretty much impossible for people with medical issues. What would end up happening is they don't clean it and it continues to jam to the point where they stop using it altogether. Free shipping would be nice too.

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

Its removing 1 roll pin to disassemble the slide and barrel, many reviewers failed to acknowledge this unfortunately. It appears to be similar on the original model 86 Berretta if anyone looks at an actual picture or blowup you can see.

Not sure the target audience for this gun is going to be practice enough to get through any break in period. The way the round can stay in the barrel is also scary.

[@abee3515]

go check the prices for a beretta 86.

[@granddad-mv5ef]

Me either.

I don't know why firearm manufacturers have to continuously put a pic rail on 380s this is a concealed carry pistol caliber also ruins the classic lines of the Beretta Style

Look at a pic of an actual Berretta Model 86 . The pic rail on the Girsan MC14T actually improved the style IMHO . Its the 1st time I have seen that though! The original 86 looked very strange with a ton of extra metal all the length and below the barrel just to support the hinge in IMHO. Im sure It had to be there, but it looked pretty strange to me.

[@arcticfox6808]

Really cool retro gun but who seriously is going to put this on their nightstand? Not me, said I.

[@lizzapaolia959]

Interesting did your wife like shooting it? That's if she did. Wondering what a female might think about this pistol. Thanks 🙏👌

[@lizzapaolia959]

Excellent video BTW 👌

[@jacksavage7808]

Going to take hard pass on this.

[@christophergaudreau9265]

Classic Beretta styling RUINED by a pic rail..... if you "have to" mount a flashlight or a laser on this size gun you shouldn't carry to start with . . SMH 😡

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

Look up a pic of an actual Berretta model 86 and then compare the MC14T . It looks like it improved it to me.

👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸💯💯🔫🔫☕️☕️

[@johninphx9360]

Why don't u give a loaded weight? Nobody carries an empty pistol.😅 wight with and without a magazine. Weight loaded?. None of our business. Lol

[@gregb6469]

That would vary depending on what ammo you have in it.
