At the 2019 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, O.F. Mossberg & Sons debuted its first pistol in more than 100 years — the MC1sc — as part of its celebration of a century in business.
The MC1sc was met with fair acclaim in many areas, two of the notable ones being a clean design for everyday carry and a clear magazine so shooters easily can determine remaining rounds. The name stands for Mossberg Carry 1, subcompact.
Mossberg now is offering the MC1sc in Stainless Two-Tone in 9mm, available in standard-frame and cross-bolt safety frame versions. The MC1sc Stainless Two-Tone subcompacts join the recently introduced family of four MC1sc models as Mossberg’s first semiauto pistols in the company’s 100-year history.
Details on the MC1sc
The MC1sc Stainless Two-Tone features a bead-blasted, stainless-steel slide over a matte-black polymer frame. The stainless-steel slide features aggressive multi-angle serrations that provide positive slide manipulation and is topped with dovetail-mounted, low-profile white 3-dot sights.
The durable frame is glass-reinforced which provides high impact and chemical resistance combined with high tensile strength and stiffness. The 3.4-inch barrel, constructed of stainless steel, features a black DLC (Diamond-Like Coating) finish and a 1-in-16 twist rate. Optional cross-bolt safety is available and is reversible for right or left-handed shooters.
Other standard features include a flat-profile trigger with integrated blade safety; short, tactile reset; reduced overtravel; and a 5 to 6-pound trigger pull weight. Trigger guards are oversized for ease of access and comfort. All MC1sc models come with a flush 6-round and an extended 7-round single-stack Clear-Count™ magazines.
Constructed of a transparent, lubricious polymer compound, the magazines offer low friction and high wear-resistance, while providing quick at-a-glance assessment of the number of rounds loaded. MC1sc pistols also have a reversible magazine release, located behind the trigger guard. Featuring Mossberg’s signature texturing, the grip has an added palm swell and grip angle, similar to a 1911, for a more comfortable, confident grip.
Completing the MC1sc Stainless Two-Tone is our exclusive, patent-pending Mossberg STS (Safe Takedown System). Unlike competitive products, the Mossberg STS does not require the user to pull the trigger to dissemble for routine cleaning or maintenance.
