Frequently Asked Questions

Why was the Mossberg MC2 Subcompact discontinued?

The Mossberg MC2 Subcompact was discontinued after only about four years. While the exact reasons aren't explicitly stated, the speaker speculates it could be due to production costs, a realization that their handgun expansion vision wasn't materializing, or a strategic decision to refocus on their core rifle and shotgun business.

Which CZ handguns have been discontinued?

The video highlights the discontinuation of the CZ 2075 Rami, a double-action/single-action model with an aluminum frame. It also discusses the CZ 97 BD in .45 ACP and the CZ Shadow 2 in .45 ACP, noting their desirability and increasing scarcity in the market.

What made the Mossberg MC2 Subcompact popular?

The Mossberg MC2 Subcompact gained popularity for being a double-stack 9mm pistol that was optics-ready, featured good magazine capacity (11 and 14 rounds), and had a flat-face trigger with a nice reset, making it a strong contender for concealed carry (CCW) needs.

Did Ruger discontinue all their handguns?

No, Ruger discontinued their entire American pistol line, including the American Compact 45 Gray. They are now focusing on their RXM series, though the speaker notes a current lack of .45 ACP or 10mm options within the RXM line.
