The EAA Girsan MC 14T Tip-Up pistol in .380 ACP (brand part no. 390852) is a compact, high-capacity pistol with a tip-up barrel, so no slide racking is needed to load. You tip the barrel up, place a round in the chamber and close the barrel, which helps anyone who has trouble racking a slide. The 13+1 capacity, 4.5-inch barrel and ambidextrous safety fit it to concealed carry for left- and right-handed shooters. EAA describes it as small enough for a purse and easy to load and train with. A black finish with a serrated slide completes a pistol that simplifies handling for a wide range of owners.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .380 ACP, a mild-recoiling cartridge suited to a compact carry gun.
• The tip-up barrel lets you load the chamber directly, so the slide never has to be racked.
• Capacity is 13+1, a 13-round magazine plus one chambered, which is generous for a .380.
• Barrel length is 4.5 inches, long enough for a good sight radius while remaining compact.
• The barrel and slide are all steel, which adds durability and helps soak up recoil.
• The safety is ambidextrous, so left- and right-handed shooters can operate it equally.
• An external hammer and an automatic firing pin block add a visible, familiar mechanism and a passive safety layer.
• The grips are composite and ambidextrous, a design that works for either hand and holds up to carry.
• The pistol has an accessory rail, so a light or laser can be mounted under the frame.
• The sights are fixed contrast sights on a serrated slide, which are quick to pick up and help with a secure grip.
