The 9C1 is a family of polymer-framed, short recoil-operated, locked-breech semi-automatic pistols designed and manufactured by FMK Firearms in California.
Design features
The FMK 9C1 is a polymer-framed chambered for the 9×19mm Parabellum. It comes with 14 or 10 round double stacked magazines depending on the local restrictions.[2] Like other pistols on its class, it has a firing pin block and a Glock-style trigger safety. Similar to a Glock and some versions of the Smith & Wesson M&P, it does not incorporate a frame-mounted safety lever.
Uncommon in pistols, it offers two distinct but interchangeable trigger systems:[3]
- A double-action-only firing mechanism, which also has a magazine lock and is aimed at sales to California and Massachusetts. This magazine lock also causes the magazine to not drop free when you depress the release button.[4]
- A single-action-only (SAO) firing mechanism, which is named FAT by the manufacturer. There has been different versions of this trigger,[5] the current one identified by the number 804 engraved on its side.
Some of the 2nd generation of the pistol have the bill of rights engraved on the slide. The 9C1 pistol is made in California and is approved for sale in California. It also features a loaded chamber indicator and a trigger safety. Additionally, the gun will not fire when the magazine is released. This handgun is not designed to use +P ammunition or low quality reloaded ammunition.
