Savage Arms is far better known for rifles, but the Stance was a serious effort at the micro-compact carry market and it shows in the details. The MC9 is a slim striker-fired 9mm with a 3.2-inch barrel and an ergonomic grip designed around interchangeable backstraps, so shooters with different hand sizes can actually get a proper firing grip on a small gun. This XR configuration is set up for a red dot and wears a black finish. For concealed carry, the combination of a thin profile, useful capacity and a comfortable grip is what separates a gun you carry from one you leave home.
