  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ส.ค. 2024
  • The unique features of the Mossberg MC2c that make it an exceptional pistol.
    If you want the absolute best G48 out of the box, get a MC2c. If you want the pride of owning an American made handgun, get the MC2c. If you don’t mind all of the third party upgrades (sights, mag button, S15 mags) go with the G48. If you like the idea of keeping your striker channel clean, MC2c.

No need to resort to those exasperating, brain-out-of-engagement, ignorant UHs, like so many who babble-quack on TH-cam, with no idea of where they want to go. Excellent presentation in all respects, Sir. It is a pleasure to watch your presentations !

    Good review. I had an Arex Delta which was my favorite carry gun. Thin, lightweight, great ergos, and a smooth shooter. But, once I held the MC2C, I bought it and made it my primary carry gun. All I said about the Delta is true for the MC2C, though the trigger is better. By the way, I sold a Glock 43X, which was a great gun, too, to get the Delta. And your description of the MC2C as a better G48 is spot on.

    • @AmbGun
      @AmbGun  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I've never handled the Delta. Thanks for sharing your path to the MC2c....Delta > G43x and MC2c > Delta, therefore MC2c > G43x.

      I have an Arex Delta Gen 2, like the gun, but I find the magazine release too hard to use, and the slide serrations are too slick. When you said the trigger is better did you mean the Mossberg or Arex had the better trigger? Still think the Mossberg is better than the Arex?

    • @AmbGun
      @AmbGun  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Compared to the Glock 48, the MC2c is almost identical in size and weight. The 43x is like the Glock 48, but with a 3/4" shorter barrel. Best stock rounds per size and weight.
      Standouts for MC2c: Slide serrations, "safe take down system", and better trigger.
      Standouts for G48/43x, is that when paired with Shield Arms S15 magazines, you get 15 rounds in the Glocks vs 13 for MC2c.

      I'd love to test one. I got to shoot a LEO's P229 a few years back and really liked it. I did better with it than the he and he did better with my FNS9c, than I. We should have traded. Great SA trigger and DA pull isn't too bad either. It was heavy and fat, but the weight was put to good use both for shootability and apparent durability. Just not something I'd want to CCW. If my Applegate Grip Ratio hypothesis is correct, the thick grips would hinder point shooting.

      In my Pistol Rounds Per Size and Weight spreadsheet the Arex Delta with it's lightweight (21.6 oz), narrow (1.18"), and modest grip height (5") coupled with a 15 round capacity makes it a very efficient capacity to size and weight pistol...number one stock 9mm on my spreadsheet. The HK VP9 is a close second with the Mossberg MC2c and Hellcat rounding out the top four. I also have the yellow columns analyzing based on what I call weighted rounds per size and weight (details on the Weighted Rounds? tab). And the green columns are analyzing based on Kinetic Energy per size and weight...where the VP9 edges out the Arex Delta.
      The spreadsheet is available for public viewing and if you like you can save a copy to your own Google account and edit things to your own liking.

      Standard striker block and trigger safety. For modern striker fired pistols, this is my preferred setup.
      There is a manual crossbolt safety option from Mossberg...I despise crossbolt safeties for any truly ambidextrous shooter....dangerous.
      For hammer fired actions with a very fine and light trigger (like the P17), I do appreciate the standard manual thumb safety.

    • @AmbGun
      @AmbGun  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      As an ambi shooter, I carry and present left handed then change hands for optimal use of cover. I really wish the MC2c had a true ambi paddle mag release like the VP9. I also wish it had ambi slide releases like the POQ. But the slide serrations on the MC2c are so good I am confident in my ability to slingshot it under stress. And since I rarely carry an extra mag, I do not give enormous weight to ambi controls...except for paddle mag to prevent accidental magazine disengagement. On my Hellcat I had to move the mag button to left hand operation just to prevent accidental mag disengagement. So far I am leaving the MC2c setup for right handed mag release, but if I experience a disengaged mag, I'll move it to left hand operation.
      If someone builds something slim like the G43/MC2c with ambi slide releases and paddle mag release, I'll adopt it. Until the, I really like the slim Mossberg, the ease of cleaning the striker channel, and the slide serrations despite not being my ideal ambi pistol.
      If I could stomach the beltline displacement of a fat VP9 or PPQ, I'd choose them for being wonderfully ambi.
      I encouraged Mossberg to at least offer a paddle mag release option, if they do I'll be very pleased.
