Analysis

The MC9 Prime’s ported barrel and dual-spring system tame 9mm snap to near-subcompact levels—0.18-second splits with 124gr FMJ, flatter than a non-ported P365. Trigger breaks at 4.5 lbs with crisp reset; flat face aids leverage. Grip texturing bites without shredding skin; interchangeable backstraps dial fit for small-to-XL hands. Slide serrations bite deep for wet-gloved racking. Recoil feels like a steel-frame compact despite 23 oz weight, making it a top-tier EDC shooter for speed and control in the micro class.
