EAA Introduces Updated Girsan MC 14T X Tip-Up

Looking for a new CCW piece? European American Armory (EAA) comes a-calling for your hard-earned money, introducing an updated version of the Girsan MC 14T X to the U.S. market—it’s a slight revamp of their existing tip-up pistol.

Introducing Next-Gen Girsan High Power MCP35 PI Light-Weight EAA Announces Two New MC14 .380 Pistols [SHOT 2018] Turkey: Girsan MC 28 T TFB Review: EAA Girsan MC14BDA .380

Why a tip-up pistol?

Tip-up actions have been around for a long, long time, requiring the user to “tip up” the barrel and insert a cartridge to chamber a round. But they’re still a bit unusual outside the pocket pistol scene. Why use such a method? The MC14 T first came to market in 2023; then, we told you:

“With its “Tip-Up” design there is no slide racking required to load and fire the gun. Offered in .380 ACP with a capacity of 13+1, it’s claimed to be the ideal concealed carry handgun, especially for those who may have difficulty using a regular pistol.”

Not everyone has the muscle in their mitts to rack the slide on an auto pistol, but the tip-up design allows them to work around that.

The new MC 14T X

The new MX 14 T X builds on the earlier design by adding a spiral-fluted barrel with a threaded muzzle—this should allow the addition of a muzzle device if you get your paperwork in order. A two-tone black-and-tungsten Cerakote finish comes standard, along with low-profile sights, and an under-barrel accessory rail. Girsan also did some work on the trigger. The new pistol only weighs 22 ounces unloaded and is 7 inches in length.

It’s a bougie take on the earlier carry-gun design, but much the same pistol, shipping with a 13+1 capacity magazine. The profile almost looks like a mini version of a Beretta 92, which may appeal to some shooters who are looking for a hide-out piece that still looks good, even if it’s tucked away under deep cover.

Of course, it’s a .380 like the original.

MSRP is $519; for details on how to get one for yourself, check out EAA’s website here.
