Mossberg MC2C Tabletop Review and Field Strip 

Specs and more info: www.gbgunsdepot.com/post/mossberg-mc2c-the-refined-compact

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. 😐👍👍

This video is a great review of the MC2C thanks for posting it!

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.

I like it want one my self but just bought a S&W 642 airlight .38 special revolver

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!

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. 👍

the bullet site holes are for right handers when loading

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 🇺🇸

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

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.

Thanks GB. Great job. Good info.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Finally someone is doing a review on this gun!

Very informative video! Thank you.

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.

Just picked one of these up today. It's a great 9mm

The looks remind me of my Sr9c quite a bit. Its a fantastic little pistol as well.

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.

TOOK ME 2 WKS TO GETMY MOSSBERG TO BE SHIPPED FROM BUD'S...ANXIOUS TO TAKE IT TO THE RANGE. GOOD VIDEO!

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.

Mossberg take down, is actually licensed from Strike Industries who sell such take down plates for Glock

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.

I’m intrigued, but It does look like a Ruger had sex with a Taurus.

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.

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!!!

The mags looks like almost like the new 15 rd shield mags for the glock 43x ??? ?!?!??

I want one excellent review

Looking for my first gun thinking about canik tp9 elite sc, this mossberg, or shield 9mm.

I’ve been WAITING for these to hit the shelves. Haven’t found one yet though. Nice review brother!

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!

I just bought my wife the MC2c.. And all the reviews Ive seen on this gun is nothing short of spectacular..

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.

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!!!

Wow. The internals look like a total Glock copy--down to the shape of the cruciform.

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.

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

I wonder if glock mags would work in this as the G43 mags work in the sc version.

It's 2024 How's the mossberg mc2 doing ? Any problems or issues ?

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.

Best takedown procedure I have seen in a long time, hope the price is reasonable 👍

You should do more comparisons

Nice informative video. Had the MC1SC sold it. Wouldn’t be interested in new offering by Mossberg.

Hello and Happy Holidays to all the subscribers here. Need assistance for holsters for Mossberg MC2c.

Deciding between this or the Ruger Max9.

can you review Beretta Px4 Storm SubCompact?

Nice review, but I wouldn't buy the gun but keep the reviews coming. Thanks buddy

🇮🇱💋🤗❤️👍🇺🇸

How would you compare this, size wise, to Sig 365XL?? To me they seem very similar.

Basically a Ruger SR9

The gunny always taught us not to drop the slide on an empty chamber.

Very exciting to watch this review, and been waiting to see its features. Hoping to see the shooting impression and whats for dinner test.

Nice gun! What keeps the slide from sliding off? Just the striker?

How does it compare in size to the shield or g2c and does it also take glock mags like the first version?

Did you just call me a DINGUS?! Lmfaooo

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?

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 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

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..!!

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

Fantastic video, my husband and I were looking for your review on this pistol. Thanks for sharing these videos. God bless 🙏

Did they change the MC1's magazines? I thought they were plastic.

Never found A Pistol that felt better in my hand &keeps such tite groups!😎👍🇱🇷⚓️

🔥🔥

Thank you, Sir

@Graham: just another thing... Does it come without a case??

I just ordered the bi tone for $274

I have a sticky trigger on my MC2C. Any suggestions?

hahaha... well im a lefty and if it bothers you that the mag indicator peek holes are easier to see in left handed then learn to shoot left.... boo hoo and sarcasm is all i ever got from righties.

Just added a MC2c to my collection and I agree with everything said here about its great features. BUT, somewhere on RU-vid someone has to remark about the takedown method. Over the past 60 years I've been involved in engineering from soup to nuts, including forensic engineering. The Mossberg concept of removing the back plate on the slide and then removing the striker in order to field strip for cleaning without pressing the trigger is the worst engineering I've seen EVER. It even beats out the idea had by an engineer, upon awakening from a bad dream, that in order to make the roads smoother for driving we should pave all the roads with cream cheese. If the company with all that shotgun experience wants to put a shotgun style safety behind the trigger I say okay. But when they let a concept like this takedown loose on the general shooting public it makes you wonder what their engineers were smoking or snorting. If you don't believe how bad the engineering is, get one for yourself and play with it.

Do you think the cz 75 magazine would work for this gun?

Ur looking for 8:50. Ur welcome

Mossberg MC2c vs Glock19... which is the best? Does Mossberg have the same security system as G19? Thanks for the answers!

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.

PICKING ONE UP TODAY!

G2C size comparison?

"I have large hands," said every gun reviewer ever.

This takes Sig sights,are they#8 Front and Rear?

Are there any 30 clips available for this?

We know the MC1 will take Glock 43 factory mags. Is the MC2 compatible with any other makers magazines?

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?

None of these sub compacts will fit your hand like a full size pistol. That is just the trade off you have to make with small concealable single stacks.

Hmmm .,. Cool ....great look at a gun I am interested in .,, great stuff .. I subbed ya..,

Do MC2C magazines interchange with any other guns or is it strictly proprietary to Mossberg?

So idk what I’m doing wrong but I can’t get my barrel to slide back on

Looks just like the Ruger SR9C

Mags are stiff only complaint

How has this held up? Its this or the arex delta m 😂

nice job , comparing/ mc1sc

Nice looking pistol. Anticipating your range testing, sir. Thanks.

Good video as usual !!!!! Grant B.

Anyone know of a really good holster for this one, concealed carry

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...

Does this gun have any sights I can adjust its shoots left and low
