PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc. November 12, 2019 7 Grasso Avenue North Haven, CT 06473 USA +1 (203) 230-5300 www.mossberg.com Mossberg® Releases MA-Compliant MC1sc™ Pistol NORTH HAVEN, CT – O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc., a leading American firearms manufacturer, announces the release of a new MC1sc (subcompact) 9mm pistol that is Massachusetts (MA)-compliant. At the core of the MC1sc pistols is superior ergonomics, innovation and engineering expertise and the MC1sc MA-Compliant pistol incorporates all the standard features plus the requisite features required for commercial sale in the state of Massachusetts. The MC1sc reflects three years of development and new patent-pending ideas in combining the most highly- desired features in the subcompact market with Mossberg’s innovative approach to design. Important features in a subcompact handgun are size, weight, caliber and carryability; and the MC1sc delivers with its overall length of 6.25 inches; recoil-managing weight of 19 ounces (with empty magazine); and barrel length of 3.4 inches in the popular 9mm chambering. Innovation begins with the magazine design. The MC1sc features Mossberg’s Clear-Count™ single-stack magazines, constructed of a transparent, lubricious polymer compound for low friction and high wear-resistance. At a quick glance, the number of rounds loaded can be easily accessed. The magazines also feature removeable floor plates and high-visibility followers. Each model comes with flush 6-round and extended 7-round magazines. The MC1sc has the revolutionary, patent-pending Mossberg STS™ (Safe Takedown System), which unlike competitive products, does not require the user to pull the trigger to disassemble for routine cleaning or maintenance. Rounding out the innovative design is an aggressive patent-pending Mossberg signature grip texturing, added palm swell and grip angle (like a 1911) for a more confident, firm grip. Standard features have not been overlooked in the design of the MC1sc. The slide is constructed of stainless steel with a DLC (Diamond Like Coating) finish, providing for reduction of friction and wear resistance. Aggressive, multi-angle serrations provide for ease of slide manipulation and the slide is topped with dovetailed- mounted, low-profile white 3-Dot sights. The durable frame is constructed of a glass-reinforced polymer which provides high impact and chemical resistance. The barrel, constructed of stainless steel, also features a DLC coating and 1-in-16 twist rate. The MC1sc trigger has a flat profile and integrated blade safety; short, tactile reset; reduced overtravel; and has a 5 to 6-pound pull weight. The smooth take-up combined with the flat trigger face offers an improved feel and clean, crisp trigger break. The trigger guard is also oversized for ease of access and comfort. Completing the features package is a reversible magazine release, located behind the trigger guard, and a reversible cross-bolt manual safety. And unique to the MC1sc MA-Compliant pistol is a load indicator, a cut out in the barrel hood that may allow a user to see if a cartridge is loaded in the chamber of the pistol. Use of the load indicator should never replace safe gun handling.
