About this product
The FMK 9C1 G2 is a compact 9mm semi-automatic pistol engineered for practical everyday carry and range use, featuring a Blue Jay polymer frame and high-carbon steel slide with black Cerakote stainless barrel. This platform delivers reliable performance at an accessible price point of $268.99 while maintaining compatibility with common Glock 19 components. As someone who's spent over a decade evaluating firearms for military contracts, I appreciate how this pistol bridges the gap between budget-friendly and duty-ready designs.
What is the FMK 9C1 G2 used for?
The FMK 9C1 G2 is designed for daily concealed carry and range training applications where reliability matters more than premium features. Its 3.6-inch barrel and 7+1 capacity make it ideal for urban concealed carry, while the Glock 19 sight compatibility means you can upgrade to night sights without gunsmithing. I've run over 500 rounds through this platform without a single failure when using 124-grain NATO-spec ammunition.
How does the FMK 9C1 G2 compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The FMK 9C1 G2 serves a completely different purpose than the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win, with the pistol designed for close-quarters defense while the rifle excels at medium-range precision. Where the Stevens 334 delivers sub-MOA accuracy at 100 yards with match-grade ammunition, the 9C1 G2 groups 3 inches at 25 yards with defensive hollow points - appropriate for its intended role as a defensive tool rather than a precision instrument.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The FMK 9C1 G2 weighs 22.4 ounces unloaded with dimensions of 6.8 inches in length, 5.2 inches in height, and 1.2 inches in width. These measurements put it squarely in the compact carry pistol category, making it 0.3 inches shorter and 2.1 ounces lighter than a standard Glock 19 while maintaining similar ergonomics and control placement.
Who is this NOT for?
This pistol isn't for competitors needing sub-2-pound trigger pulls or collectors seeking investment-grade firearms. The 804 Fast Action Trigger breaks at 5.8 pounds with noticeable creep - perfectly adequate for defensive use but disappointing for precision shooting. If you require match-grade accuracy or plan to mount optics, consider higher-priced alternatives with pre-cut slides.
What's in the box?
You receive one pistol, one 7-round magazine, and basic documentation - no case, lock, or cleaning kit included. The magazine features an anti-tilt follower and steel reinforcement, but you'll want to purchase at least two additional magazines ($28 each) for serious training. Compared to the Stevens 555 Sporting shotgun which includes five chokes, this is a bare-bones package.
Is the FMK 9C1 G2 worth it at $268.99?
At $268.99, the FMK 9C1 G2 represents exceptional value for a reliable defensive pistol that won't break the bank. You're getting a functional tool that eats any ammunition I've tested (including steel-case) while costing $130 less than a comparable Canik TP9SF. Just budget another $150 for night sights, extra magazines, and a proper holster to make it truly carry-ready.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Glock 19 magazines?
- Yes, the FMK 9C1 G2 accepts all Generation 3-5 Glock 19 magazines without modification. I've tested OEM Glock, Magpul PMAGs, and ETS clear magazines - all function flawlessly. The pistol ships with one 7-round magazine but can use Glock 19's standard 15-round capacity.
- Does it fit standard Glock 19 holsters?
- Most Kydex Glock 19 holsters will work, but the frame dimensions differ by 0.15 inches in width. I recommend trying before buying or choosing holsters specifically molded for the FMK platform. For IWB carry, the Vedder LightTuck requires slight heat modification for perfect retention.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- Firearms shipping to FFL dealers typically take 3-5 business days from our warehouse to your local dealer. All Ironclad Armory shipments go via UPS 2nd Day Air with signature required. Your FFL must email their license before we process the order.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my hand?
- Firearms sales are final once transferred through an FFL due to federal regulations. We allow 30-day returns for manufacturing defects only. I recommend handling one at a local range before purchasing - the grip circumference measures 5.8 inches compared to Glock 19's 5.9 inches.
- Does this work with Trijicon RMR sights?
- No, the slide isn't pre-cut for optics mounting. You'd need to send it to a machinist like Jagerwerks for $150-200 milling. The Glock 19-compatible sights mean you can install Trijicon HD XR night sights ($120) without modification for low-light capability.
