Features
edit
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]
