The new MC 14 T by Girsan focuses on ease of use and high capacity in a very compact design. Thanks to the Tip-Up design (no slide racking required) loading and firing the MC 14 T is simple and quick, using very minimal moving parts to go from loading to firing. "With the MC 14 T we wanted a handgun that was not only small and compact but also allowed people that may have issues with racking a slide the ability to carry." said Chase Duffey, National Sales & Import Manager at EAA Corp "Small enough for a purse, easy to load, and carries 13 in the magazine it really is the perfect defensive pistol." Keith Bernkrant, President of EAA stated, "Once we started to work with the MC 14 T, we quickly realized that loading and unloading as well as training is easier with a Tip-Up design pistol, as it simply eliminates the need to rack the slide altogether. I wish that we had worked on this project earlier after seeing just how simple and intuitive it is. The Tip-Up barrel MC 14 T, with it's external safety, external hammer and auto firing pin block, is the solution to many pistol owner's issues and simple safe carry." Available in .380 ACP with a 13+1 capacity the Girsan MC 14 T is the perfect handgun for concealed carry, especially for people that may have issues using a standard pistol. Loading and firing is as easy as 1-2-3. One of the most important features however may be the price! With an MSRP starting at $498, everyone can afford to be safe. .380 ACP Caliber Tip-Up Barrel Design All-Steel Barrel & Slide Ambidextrous Safety 4.5" Barrel FINISH: BLACK-BLUE CAL: 380ACP CAP: 13+1 BBL: 4.5" OAL: 6.8" WT: 1.4 lbs
