The FMK 9C1 G2 CA/MA Compliant Compact Frame 9mm Luger 10+1, 3.87" Black Stainless Steel Barrel, Black Serrated Carbon Steel Slide, Black Polymer Frame w/Picatinny Rail, Black Backstrap Grip (Model G9C1G2BSSCMS, UPC 850979006295) is a state-compliant compact 9mm pistol built for everyday carry, range use, and home defense in restrictive states like California and Massachusetts. With a DAO trigger, 10+1 capacity, and a slim, Glock-19-sized footprint, this pistol delivers modern ergonomics, reliable performance, and a clean tactical look in an affordable American-made package.
CA/MA-Compliant Compact 9mm – Ready for Restricted States
This specific configuration of the FMK 9C1 G2 is purpose-built to meet California and Massachusetts compliance requirements:
Caliber: 9mm Luger
Capacity: 10+1 rounds (10-round magazine for restricted states)
Action: Double Action Only (DAO) on CA/MA models for an “extra safe” trigger configuration.
Mag-out safety: Prevents the pistol from firing when the magazine is removed, an added safeguard required or preferred in some jurisdictions.
You get a compact defensive handgun sized in the same general class as a Glock 19, but configured with DAO and safety features specifically tuned for compliance.
3.87" Black Stainless Steel Barrel & Black Serrated Carbon Steel Slide
The G9C1G2BSSCMS model combines durability and sleek styling with its two-metal construction:
Barrel: 3.87" black-finished stainless steel barrel, 1:16" left-hand twist for common 9mm bullet weights.
Slide: High-carbon black serrated slide for strength and solid lockup, with rear serrations for confident manipulation.
Stainless barrel + carbon steel slide gives the pistol:
Strong corrosion resistance on the bore and chamber
A tough, duty-ready exterior
Easy slide racking thanks to aggressive rear serrations
The black-on-black finish also keeps the pistol discreet for concealed carry and professional use.
Compact, Lightweight Polymer Frame with Picatinny Rail
The 9C1 G2 is built on a compact polymer frame designed for everyday carry comfort and recoil management.
Frame material: High-strength polymer
Frame finish: Black, with integrated Picatinny accessory rail for mounting lights or lasers.
Overall length: about 6.85"
Height: approx. 5.09"; width: ~1.14", keeping it in a very carry-friendly footprint.
Weight: about 23.45 oz unloaded—light enough for daily carry, heavy enough to soften recoil.
The integrated Picatinny rail in front of the trigger guard makes it simple to attach a compact weapon light—hugely useful for home defense or low-light carry setups.
Aggressively Textured Grip with Rubberized Backstrap
FMK puts a lot of thought into ergonomics on the 9C1 G2 platform, and this CA/MA model is no exception:
Aggressive molded grip texture for a secure hold under recoil, sweat, or rain.
Black rubberized backstrap grip that “hugs” the shooting hand to reduce felt recoil and promote a locked-in grip.
Ergonomically shaped frame to comfortably fit both large and small hands.
The backstrap and contouring help keep the bore axis low in the hand, which works with the 3.87" barrel geometry to provide “point and shoot” accuracy with reduced muzzle flip—exactly what you want in a defense-oriented compact.
DAO Trigger, Magazine Safety & Loaded Chamber Indicator
For California and Massachusetts, this G2 CA/MA Compliant model ships with a Double Action Only trigger instead of FMK’s Fast Action single-action system.
Safety-oriented features include:
DAO trigger system with a consistent, longer pull designed for added safety under stress and to satisfy state rules about trigger types.
Magazine safety (mag-out safety): the pistol will not fire when the magazine is removed, even if a round is in the chamber.
Loaded chamber indicator on the slide so you can visually or tactilely confirm whether a round is chambered.
Beveled mag well and enlarged trigger guard that help with fast reloads and gloved use while remaining snag-free for concealed carry.
The frame is designed with minimal external protrusions, reducing snag points when drawing from concealment or holstering—another plus for EDC and off-body carry scenarios.
Glock-Compatible Sights & Point-and-Shoot Accuracy
One of the standout advantages of the FMK 9C1 G2 platform is its Glock 19–compatible sights, which gives you access to a massive aftermarket of night sights, fiber optics, and competition options.
From the factory you get:
Low-profile 3-dot style sights (varies by specific vendor configuration), sized for concealed carry.
A slide and barrel engineered so the bore sits low in the hand, promoting natural pointability and fast follow-up shots.
Being able to drop in Glock-pattern sights means you can easily tune the pistol for your preferred sight picture or low-light setup without custom machining.
Concealed Carry–Friendly Design
The entire 9C1 G2 design philosophy is geared toward carry:
Compact footprint comparable to a G19, ideal for IWB, OWB, or appendix carry.
Snag-free exterior with virtually no sharp protrusions to catch on clothing.
Shock-absorbing / rubberized backstrap helps tame recoil in a lightweight frame, making practice sessions more manageable so you actually train with your carry gun.
For shooters in California or Massachusetts looking for a compliant compact 9mm that’s still comfortable, modern, and upgrade-friendly, this specific G2 configuration hits a very sweet spot.
