I did something that I was afraid to do.
But I knew I had to learn.
I took my Mossberg MC2C
apart.
I did it right alone with your
video demonstration.
I was a afraid that I would
damage my fire arm but I didn't.
I follow right alone with you
and I took it a part and I put
it back together.
I am full of pride because each day
I am learning more about my
firearm.
Thank you so much in what you
do.
😐👍👍
Congrats! Like anything It's less tricky the more you know.
Bet you found it was very easy and simple.
Muscle memory, I picked up an MC2SC yesterday, and the takedown is exactly the same, which as I've been a Ruger shooter for 20+ years (or 1911) I was not confident, just watch out for the striker to jump out, as mine tried to when I pulled that little bit down, and there is a spring, but that's the only thing I didn't see here that I experienced. Firearms safety is your first rule, but confidence is next and comes from repetition, just make sure you follow those 4 rules of safety when you're cleaning, training, etc, and you'll see it come to you more and more.
Finally someone is doing a review on this gun!
This video is a great review of the MC2C thanks for posting it!
Love my MC1sc, picked it up mostly as I carry a G43 so already had extra mags. Mossberg did a great job with these pistols and they don’t get enough credit in my opinion. Great video Graham 🇺🇸
I have the MC1 too, broken in after 500 rounds it’s a great little gun! 👍
Silly question is the mc2 bigger then the mc1 because I’m interested in buying the mc1 as a carry conceal
Ghaith Ballich MC2 is mid size MC1 is a sub compact.
Love my Mc1, great shooter, Carry my G19 gen4 during Winter.
X43 magazine will fit your mc1 but not mc2.
I just bought my wife the MC2c.. And all the reviews Ive seen on this gun is nothing short of spectacular..
Good choice, it's a great gun
New shooter here and this is the gun that I bought. I really like it. (Though I don't have anything to compare it to....yet.)
Welcome! You started with a good one.
I just bought one...a little blindly I must admit. The gun is beautiful. The only thing that concerns me is the longevity of the firing pin from the "easy take down", and the play between the front of the slide and frame. So far it's a great gun!
I would say mossberg put tremendous amounts of testing for both pistols . The Mc2c is a much bigger impact in improved everything. Time will tell ,but I am glad I waited for this model. I like it much more than my CZ p10s and glock 19. It shoots more accurately that those as well.
All polymer frame systems have wobble and play. Looser tolerances promote reliability
Update after 1 year of use and occasional carry. Still fires like normal - finish is intact and looks new. No issues with firing Pin or any components. The only downside to this gun to be honest is the trigger. It "feels" very cheap and inconsistent. But hey, it's a mossberg.
Fantastic video, my husband and I were looking for your review on this pistol. Thanks for sharing these videos. God bless 🙏
I had the mc1sc my first 200 rounds with quite a few malfunctions I would say at least 20 to 25 failure to feed failure to eject failure to go into battery but then after that it seemed to have broke in I put an additional 300 rounds on it the last 300 or so were pretty much flawless very accurate firearm feeling very good in your hand.. I also did not care for the magazine's which seemed flimsy to me wish they were steel but overall think this firearm after break in Is quite nice!
The looks remind me of my Sr9c quite a bit. Its a fantastic little pistol as well.
I like it want one my self but just bought a S&W 642 airlight .38 special revolver
Thanks GB. Great job. Good info.
Hi, just got pistol permit 8 months ago. Got glock19 first then mc2c 3 weeks ago. I loved this video, so much information, so much more than average chat and shoot video. Answered some questions. I had done a cleaning before watching any videos and had some trouble with stricker, ut at 70 ive probably lost some strength in fingers, I know I have watching how easily you cycle the slide with thumb and a finger.
Thank you, we forgo the entertainment with a goal of being informative.
Just picked one of these up today. It's a great 9mm
Best takedown procedure I have seen in a long time, hope the price is reasonable 👍
Dayyyum!! Mossberg off to a fantastic start entering the Striker market... I LOVE the look of the gun!!! It's very smooth looking..love the front of the slide..rounded nose.. l was curious about the trigger...likely no aftermarket upgrades for it..for a WHILE.. (HB GET BUSY!!) but it looks good..lotta take up but short reset but looks like a mushy creep before the break..can't wait to see one!!!
Very exciting to watch this review, and been waiting to see its features. Hoping to see the shooting impression and whats for dinner test.
I’ve been WAITING for these to hit the shelves. Haven’t found one yet though. Nice review brother!
Southpaw Sharpshooter Yeah, I’ve seen ONE on Gunbroker and I’m still not sure if that was fake news.
I traded my bi tone Mc2 only cause I really not a 9mm pistol fan, that's just me. I love 45s and 10mm two colts and two glocks. Waiting for the new one to get cleared from back ground check. Oops make that three glocks and stay away from the kimber pro carry 2 just a fair warning.
TOOK ME 2 WKS TO GETMY MOSSBERG TO BE SHIPPED FROM BUD'S...ANXIOUS TO TAKE IT TO THE RANGE. GOOD VIDEO!
Very informative video! Thank you.
I want one excellent review
The MC series from Mossberg are amazing. Based on their size, build quality, and price I'm surprised more people arent trying to get their hands on them.
They are. Sold out pretty much everywhere unless you want to pay exorbitant prices right now. Things will hopefully return to somewhat normal after November.
Picked up Mc2 around April it's a bi- tone very nice pistol.
We wanted the bi-tone. You're lucky
I did get lucky, came with a 15 round magazine and a 13 RD.
But couldn't find any extras.
Mossberg store was sold out so i click to notify me when available. About two months later we got a email saying that they were in stock so I found out Mossberg can't deliver mags to Illinois, called my sister in Wisconsin and she ordered me 4 magazines which came less than two weeks. I got lucky again, checked Mossberg the next day and they were sold out again. But keep in mind clock 43x fits perfectly into the MC1 only. Too thick for the Mc2.
Now I can't get ammo for it so far. I have a box hollow pts. and About 100 rds for the range.
I refuse the buy at my range, they want 36 dollars a box of fifty,
Talk about price gouging!
Gun ranges are going to close cause they can't afford to pay for way over priced ammo.
Before the pandemic they were less than ten dollars for a box of fifty.
Stacked thumbs forward grip is the ideal way to check for slide bite. I get slide bite often...from the mc1sc and all glocks without a beavertail backstrap to name a few...
It looks great, I have considered buying many compact handguns but have always had this issue of grip too short which makes kind of uncomfortable to shoot for my preference. I have also considered Glock but my medium size hands make it hard to shoot that gun. This one looks slim so it might be the gun I have been waiting for. My Taurus Millennium G2 is perfect size, super ergonomic and reliable but I don't really like its trigger and plastic sights.
Mossbergs first handgun since the brownie derringer. Fits both g43 and m&p holsters. Takes any g43 mag. Is less money than a g43. Shoots like a top. 👍
So g43 holsters will work for these? I can't find holsters anywhere
@@D-A-1776 yup. g43 holsters can facilitate a number of pistols. g43, g43x, mossberg mc2c just off of the top of my head. There's probably a polymer 80 version of a g43, too. It might even holster a g42, but that I don't know. Basically, if you were inclined to buy a holster before committing to a pistol, g43 is probably the safest bet. Or a g19 holster, maybe. Stay safe out there. 👍
@@chriszablocki2460 . Thanks man you too
Have the MC 1 and those solid serrations are amazingly effective but have to clean a lot of skin out of the grooves. Hopefully this version is more reliable. I had to do extensive break in and work on the rails to get it to go into battery. Really love the gun though except for the polymer mags, these mags look much better.
I had a similar problem with it not going into battery reliably. Sent it back to Mossberg, and they fixed it by replacing the trigger assembly. Apparently, one of the bars was bent or deformed, right out of the box. It works great now, and is very accurate.
Just got this one, I have the mc1s love both. Both very underated
We whole-heartedly agree. These are great pistols that no one seems to talk about much.
@@GBGuns . I think people are afraid because they're a big shotgun company not a pistol company just like Remington when they came out with that pistol that was junk I guess everybody thinks it's the same boat
It's a good little gun. It's a collectable for the fact that it's a mossberg handgun, takes glock43 mags, fits glock43 holsters, and uses sig #8 sights. You'll never have to go far for parts and accessories, and the most you'll ever pay for it is 380$. Its not going to win you a 3 gun contest, but it might save your life.
Just set a 15 second timer, hit start, field stripped my Mossberg MC2C, hit stop with 8 second remaining. Very easy to field strip.
I bought a Mossberg MC2C earlier today and took it to the range. Very impressed. Shot center out of silhouette with ease. This is after the breech face on my Glock 48 failed. Yes, that’s right, steel on the frame of the pistol failed. If you look this up, you’ll see that what I experienced was not an anomaly. I use snap caps 99% of the time, and yes, I do a lot of dryfiring. I could probably live with the firing pin having to be replaced but the slide failing?! Hot garbage. The G48 was a great size, and shot decently after replacing the sights and trigger, but I was far from impressed.
Out of the box, MC2C smokes the G48. It is slightly heavier than G48 with empty mag, as the weight listed for MC2C must be with no mag inserted. Trigger, texturing, and sights are superior than G48. As GB stated, casings are snug in chamber which probably means should use brass exclusively. Mine had no problem with brass and a couple chokes on Tuula steel. Only concern I have is it is a Glock clone so I worry about how well it will hold up after my experience with G48.

Graham Baates do you know if the mc1 holster would work with the mc2
I would like see you to add two checks on your table top reviews. One, extractor tension on a field stripped slide using a live round or shell casing. The tension on my MC2c was way too high, but easily fixed with clipping the extractor spring 3/4 of a coil. Too much tension = poor feeding. Too little tension = erratic ejection. Two, vertical chopstick launch, which I perform on every new gun and usually after cleaning/reassembly. Tells you a lot about firing pin/striker integrity, proper function of the firing pin block mechanism, and primer ignition.
PICKING ONE UP TODAY!
Congrats! Watch our Shooting Impressions and let us know how they compare/contrast with your own.
It’s almost unfortunate that I found my beloved P365XL last October. These two appear to be, for all practical purposes, the same size and it would be interesting to see how the MC2 fits/feels in the hand.
Speaking of, I do very much like the feel of the flat, 90° break trigger (I put Sig’s “X” trigger in all my P320’s) but what I like about Sig’s version is that it appears to break and finish much farther away from the rear of the trigger guard than Mossberg’s. I find I shoot much better with Sig’s concept and don’t generally like triggers that end up back at the frame but I’d have to try it to see if I could live with it.
Overall, and just by appearances, I’d have to say that it looks like Mossberg designed a very nice gun here. Love the takedown, dimensions, appearance!
What I also found was the extractor spring seems to be super stiff from the factory. I disassembled extractor, extractor spring to break it in a tad. Could be wrong but I think if there’s one thing that might lead to a “break in period” is the stiff extractor spring.
I'd like to see the Mossberg MC2C go against the Sig Sauer P365 XL and the S&W M&P Shield 9mm. You didn't mention the Barrel length on the MC2C. Good job.
3.9 inch barrel.
I am FAR from a Glock fanboy. Walther makes unquestionably my favorite pistols. That said, I bought a Glock 48 a few months ago and really like it. The G43X and G48 are probably the only Glocks I would ever consider owning because of how well the fit in my hand. For specs, MC2C and Glock 48 on paper are almost identical. The MC2C is noticeably chunkier when you handle it. Was impressed with how good the trigger was when I dry fired it. It has higher capacity factory mags compared to G48, but it’s not nearly as sleek. Glock 48 slide width is 0.88”. 0.96” with slide stop.
I understand the whole “it’s the same height as a Glock 19, but only holds 10 rds. Height is what causes a gun to print so why would I carry a Glock 48?” Comfort, you can carry it owb with a blazer and there’s isn’t an obvious bulge on one of your hips. 10 rds with a backup mag will suffice for me all day long. Have not tried the Shield Arms 15 rd mags.
A set of $55 Ameriglo Hackathorns and a $60 Precision Overwatch Polydat. Worth checking out. If you do pick up a G43X or G48(won’t hold my breath), Polydat trigger is only $60 and well worth it.
Walther, if you’re reading this, slimline PDP. Don’t make a high capacity PPS with a p***y trigger. Fully cocked striker. PPS trigger isn’t bad but it doesn’t need to be different than PPQ/PDP unless that trigger mechanism can’t be squeezed down to such a narrow width.
Again, not a Glock fanboy at all. You and I share that sentiment
You sure your not a Glock fanboy????
Just got one not a fan of the trigger or take down,other than that love the gun. Very good video very informative, thanks.Uploaded a review on it aswell.
Thank you, Sir
Good video as usual !!!!! Grant B.
Picking up mine today the MC1 i was a glock man my self until this came out sold the G43 after shooting the MC1 once and the 19 will likely be replaced if this is at all like the MC1
Keep the 43 mags if you haven't sold them all. The MC1 was designed to be in direct competition with the G43. So you are able use G43 mags with your MC1.
Love the Takedown. If Mossberg had stuck with the Glock magazine compatibility, I would purchase the MC2C just because. They went with a proprietary magazine... Maybe the MC3 if they come out with one will be compatible.
All mags are proprietary until someone else uses them.
Nice gun! What keeps the slide from sliding off? Just the striker?
Very nice thorough review as usual. Any info out there on reliability? I am carrying an older Springfield XDsc which has been 100% reliable for me with similar capacity. This looks like it's a bit slimmer and easier to conceal but I don't know anyone who has any experience with them.
See our Shooting Impressions video for loads tested. We love this gun, no issues yet that I can recall.
Nice looking pistol. Anticipating your range testing, sir. Thanks.
Nice review, but I wouldn't buy the gun but keep the reviews coming. Thanks buddy
Thank you. It's a good thing I'm not here to sell! We just present what we find using the same formula of evaluation so you can see how one performs in comparison with another.
Mossberg take down, is actually licensed from Strike Industries who sell such take down plates for Glock
You should do more comparisons
Maybe vertical gripping aids in pointing a gun on target left or right. Just a thought - maybe it is meant to be a help in firm grip to the gun overall...
Very nice thorough video! Reading some of these comments just cracks me up, everyone is a critic. I’m on the fence with this one, been wanting to hold one to see what it feels like. What are your thoughts on the Sar 9?
I'm with you on a decision. I'm deciding between this MC2c and Springfield's Hellcat Pro . I want to see them side by side and hold them .
@@ronklock9340 ironically, I have the Hellcat Pro and really like it. I had the MC2 and sold it. I never owned the Mc2c though.
the bullet site holes are for right handers when loading
Agreed, the placement of the magazine windows is poor... I prefer them on the back of the magazines as they are on say FNs, Glocks and others.
Thank you for sharing.
These look nice and scored high on tfb size wt to capacity thing. But 1. Striker assembly orange plastic thing seems cheap is it long term reliable? 2. Does it take like sig sights or anything for aftermarket night sights?
The striker plate is made by Strike Industries and used by Mossberg under license, so that’s probably more solid than it might seem.
I believe the MC1sc took Sig sights and I don’t believe they changed the slide (dovetails) so would probably work, but they also make one with Truglo night sights so there’s always that option.
@@scotteger6271 do u have one? Pretty good in hand but bit much Striker trigger feel and take out orange syringe design for a company new to pistols makes me worry about it. Others interest me bit more. If there wasn't light thin Arex now then maybe I handled one 2 weeks ago
@@DanTheWolfman I don’t have one personally but I’ve handled/shot/cleaned one. I’d own one…Mossberg has good customer service if someone did go wrong, but again the striker plate was designed by a big name company. As far as the disassembly procedure, it is different but if you remove a Glock slide and take the striker plate off it’s basically the same as this, so Mossberg utilized a known/proven design. The Arex is nice but a good bit larger overall.
@@scotteger6271 delta same size as mc2
@@DanTheWolfman I haven’t had the chance to handle them side by side…I think I was looking at the Delta Gen 2 L or X though, not the M
I think the rear of the mag release button is too proud of the frame and could eject the mag if bumped. The MC2sc has a frame bump behind the button but this was not included on the MC1sc or MC2c. I applied a stick on 3.5 mm thick pad (drawer/cabinet door bumper) behind the button which cured this problem.
🔥🔥
WAY OVER THE TOP!
nice job , comparing/ mc1sc
i do want this gun but i'm not a fan of the takedown...but everything has pros and cons so i'm sure i could get used to it
It's not hard, just different.
@@GBGuns true,it looked easy enough...great review btw
can you review Beretta Px4 Storm SubCompact?
The windows on the back of the mag works for right or left handed ammo count check. Well Mossberg doesn't just make shotguns, wow!!!
Nice informative video. Had the MC1SC sold it. Wouldn’t be interested in new offering by Mossberg.
What didn't you like about it? What did you replace it with?
Graham Baates sharp edges underneath the trigger frame and sticky magazines release from the frame. Sig 365 and Beretta APX Centurion.
Looking for my first gun thinking about canik tp9 elite sc, this mossberg, or shield 9mm.
All good options.
How does it compare in size to the shield or g2c and does it also take glock mags like the first version?
Nope proprietary mags only :/ and in my local gunshop it was 400 something
I wonder if glock mags would work in this as the G43 mags work in the sc version.
They don't
@@GBGuns i figured as much, but one could hope.
Did you just call me a DINGUS?! Lmfaooo
How would you compare this, size wise, to Sig 365XL?? To me they seem very similar.
I checked awhile ago when announced and numbers wise this gun falls perfectly in between the 365XL and the G19. Larger than XL smaller than G19. Same for weight. And capacity. And height. And length. And width. Basically everything lol.
The gunny always taught us not to drop the slide on an empty chamber.
On 1911's yes. On striker style, most likely won't hurt them at all.
I've done it hundred of times on hundreds of firearms. I'll let you know if I ever have an issue.
@@GBGuns Me too. Never had an issue.
Do you think the cz 75 magazine would work for this gun?
Looks just like the Ruger SR9C
Deciding between this or the Ruger Max9.
I haven't shot the Max 9, but it's safe to assume that just about anything is nicer than a Ruger.
We know the MC1 will take Glock 43 factory mags. Is the MC2 compatible with any other makers magazines?
Nope only mossberg only
Does the stainless mc1 have a manual safery? I've literally never seen that before
The example MC1sc that Graham has in the video does, in fact, have a safety. Mossberg calls it a cross-bolt safety…works just like a rifle/shotgun safety…side-to-side, one being safe the other being fire.
This takes Sig sights,are they#8 Front and Rear?
Why didn't they make it compatible with Glock mags like the MC1SC? That would have been awesome to have a 17 and 33 round magazine option.
I doubt the Glock mags would have fit in the size constraints they were working with…hence why a G19 isn’t slimmer…the plastic mags have always been one of Glock’s weaknesses. They haven’t done anything truly creative since the 80’s but everyone buys them…it took a 3rd party company (Shield Arms) to come up with 15 round mags for the 43x/48, which is apparently unheard of voodoo magic to Glock…
PLEASE Make some Handguns that are AMBIDEXTROUS!
WE Lefties like to shoot TOO !! And sometimes, WE are in a HURRY to do various Functions..!!
And slide-locks only on one side Make it next to impossible to do a FAST jam-Clear, and mag-releases and other functions are 'taken for granted' by right-hand shooters... but can cause literally Life-Threatening Delays for Lefties..!!
I'm left-handed too.
The mags looks like almost like the new 15 rd shield mags for the glock 43x ???
?!?!??
Do MC2C magazines interchange with any other guns or is it strictly proprietary to Mossberg?
Just Mossberg as far as I know. Proprietary just like everyone else.
Mossberg MC2c vs Glock19... which is the best? Does Mossberg have the same security system as G19? Thanks for the answers!
Mossberg all day for ergonomics and trigger. Yes Mossberg has similar safety features
@@GBGuns so it will be my next certain purchase. Very thanks for the meticolous analysis and the precious answers!
Not a problem, we also have articles that go a bit more in depth. Look for links in pinned comments.
The mc1 had issues with the back plate coming loose and preventing the slide from going all the way back into battery. Have they addressed this with the mc2?
I hadn't heard of or experienced that so I can't say. We haven't had any issues with ours. Was it actually coming loose or just folks not reinstalling it correctly?
@@GBGuns Not sure if you've heard of Honest Outlaw, but the first time I found out about this was on his review. It's at the 6:08 mark. I've heard of it happening to another youtuber, but can't remember who it was. I don't think it's a very prevalent problem, but could be a cause of concern.
Did they change the MC1's magazines? I thought they were plastic.
They also use Glock G43 mags, so that may be what he has in it.
This is the mc2. I think the mc1 is a single stack and this one a double
Hmmm .,. Cool ....great look at a gun I am interested in .,, great stuff .. I subbed ya..,
Thank you and welcome! Most of my videos are actually part of articles. Check for a pinned comment link. The article for this hasn't published yet.
I think I'm going to get this one.
Would polishing the outside of the slide negativity effect this guns performance in any way?
No
@@GBGuns thank you for the speedy reply I have one more question for you you are so knowledgeable about guns it's nice to be able to ask somebody who knows, (thank you by the way) would it be okay to use 9mm NATO 124 grain ammo in this gun or does it strictly need to have the Luger rounds?
You'll be fine with NATO loads, but can expect more recoil.
@@GBGuns I have very strong hands from years of wrenching on old dirt bikes, so that won't be a problem. Thank you very much Graham you just got yourself a subscriber
Welcome! Most of our videos are part of more in-depth articles. Check pinned comments for the articles.
Does this gun have any sights I can adjust its shoots left and low
First try relaxing your firing hand and adding more support with your non-firing hand (assuming you're right handed)
Are there any 30 clips available for this?
G2C size comparison?
Damn they made the mags metal. Wish my mc1 had metal ones.
How are you finding the performance of your MC1, now .. ?
@@SuperLuminalElf mine still shoots very well. They are really accurate pistols.
@@centermass4962: Thank you Sir. I recently held one in my hand for the first time - outta-the-box brand new; there were only two in the shop in question at that time and I’d already laid down some $$ shekels on an equally new subcompact S&W MP Shield .. I walked outta that shop feeling as if I’d made a mistake .. both Mossbergs were GONE by that evening ..
@@SuperLuminalElf if u chose a shield u made a good choice also. I own 5 of those and they are very good guns also. I have a channel with some of my guns on it on this platform.
"I have large hands," said every gun reviewer ever.
I wear XXL Gloves and tell folks so they have a concept of scale. The same object can look very different in different hands.
I have a sticky trigger on my MC2C. Any suggestions?
Shoot it more.
Basically a Ruger SR9
Did your trigger get stuck??? 13:44 so no one else noticed that? Or am i seeing things..... When the trigger is squeezed and he lets go the trigger is still stuck i see it happen 2 times.... It obviously gets unstuck when he racks the slide again but NO pistol in the world requires the slide racked to reset a trigger in the firing position IJS
Anyone know of a really good holster for this one, concealed carry
1791 holsters
Never found A Pistol that felt better in my hand &keeps such tite groups!😎👍🇱🇷⚓️
@Graham: just another thing... Does it come without a case??
As you saw in the video, just a cardboard box.
If anything like the Mc1sc they can keep it!!!!!
Wow. The internals look like a total Glock copy--down to the shape of the cruciform.
So idk what I’m doing wrong but I can’t get my barrel to slide back on
Nvm went and rewatched thanks for the info
What was the solution?
I had to clip the spring in lol
I just ordered the bi tone for $274
Hello and Happy Holidays to all the subscribers here. Need assistance for holsters for Mossberg MC2c.
Recoil impulse?
See the Shooting Impressions video, no live fire in these Tabletop Reviews
Finally lol
