The Mossberg MC1sc is a semi-automatic subcompact handgun introduced by O.F. Mossberg & Sons in January 2019.[2] Chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum and rated for +P pressure, it is the company's first handgun offering since the Mossberg Brownie was introduced 100 years prior.[2]

The MC1sc is a striker-fired polymer frame pistol, featuring an integrated blade safety on the trigger.[2] Its standard three-dot sights are adjustable, both front and rear, with night sights available as an option.[2] Trigger pull is rated at 6 lbf (27 N).[2]

The standard slide is stainless steel, with "diamond-like carbon coating" available as an option.[1] Disassembling the pistol for cleaning does not require pulling the trigger,[1] as Mossberg's "safe takedown system" allows the striker assembly to be removed before removing the slide.[1]

Several MC1sc offerings are available, including ones with a cross-bolt safety.[3] Single-stack magazines with 6-round and 7-round capacities are available; both are made with clear polymer and have an orange floor plate.[3] Additionally, the MC1sc will accept Glock 43 magazines.[4][5] The magazine release is reversible.[3]

MC2c variant

On January 17, 2020, Mossberg introduced the MC2c, a slightly larger version of the MC1sc.[6] The "c" designates it as a compact size pistol, as compared to the "sc" (subcompact) size of the MC1sc.[6] The MC2c features double-stack magazines, in either 13-round (flush fit) or 15-round (extended) capacities.[6]
