Mossberg shook up the concealed-carry market with the MC2C, their first double-stack compact 9mm. Building on the success of the subcompact MC1sc, this pistol blends high capacity, modern ergonomics, and user-friendly features—all at a competitive price.

~7.1″

Magazine Capacity

What Sets It Apart

Comfortable & Slim Grip

Its sleek profile and 18° grip angle naturally align with the wrist, making it feel like an extension of your arm. Checkered swells and flared trigger guard enhance grip comfort—even during prolonged shooting sessions

Rapid, Safe Takedown System

The roll‑out slide‑cover plate lets you remove the striker without touching the trigger—a safer, much cleaner takedown compared to many striker-fired pistols

Flat Trigger & Solid Reset

A flat-faced trigger with integrated blade safety breaks at around 5–6 lb, offering a crisp break and quick reset. One test gun clocked in at a smooth 5.07 lb

Optic-Ready Configuration

Optic-Ready variants include a slide plate compatible with Shield RMS footprint, allowing easy mounting of compact red-dot sights—perfect for speed and precision 

Iron Sights & Night Sights

Comes standard with drift-adjustable 3-dot iron sights. Opt for TRUGLO Tritium Pro models for low-light carry ops 

High-Capacity Double-Stack

Unlike the MC1sc, the MC2c doubles down on capacity—13/15 rounds, or 14/16 in Optic-Ready versions—ideal for both CCW and duty use 


Areas to Consider

  • The optional cross-bolt manual safety divides opinion—some find it redundant in a safe-takedown striker system

  • Early adopters reported limited aftermarket product support, though that’s improving over time .

Verdict: Strong Competitor in Compact Carry Market

With high-capacity double-stack mags, great ergonomics, modern features, and an affordable MSRP (around $490–$556 depending on version) , the MC2c stands tall among compact carry pistols.

Whether you prioritize capacity, ease of use, or optics readiness, Mossberg delivers a competitive package in the MC2c.

Final Thoughts

The Mossberg MC2c packs more than you'd expect into a compact frame—offering capacity, control, and carry-friendly convenience. It's built for both newcomers and seasoned carriers who want performance without compromise.
