Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. If you build your own I've come to really love my Gibbz side charger with extended handle. Since I'm short stroked and can't lock back it makes flag removal and loading way easier than my traditional charging handle. I've got a taccom recoil kit and their ramped 16in barrel. It's 100% reliable and will keep them in the A zone at 15 yards as fast as I can spam the trigger so no meaningful dot bounce.
  2. Same here. I'd like dot with a shorter body but ended up with the cmore because of the larger glass.
  3. What mags and springs were you using when you had the malfunction? I had similar issues while experimenting bolt travel, buffers, springs and bolts. Once I found the setup that shot to my liking I had to match my mag springs to the timing.
  4. I have intermittent problems with Taylor Freelance. I've followed the instructions and beveled as required. Occasionally when loading 39+ the rounds push out the mag walls and bind against each other at the bottom of the mag. I'm using glock metal lined mags. Of course they run fine until the biggest field course of a match. If I stay at 37 they've run fine.
  5. I've had most of the timers but recently picked up the Shotmaxx v2 for its adjustable sensitivity and volume. So far it has worked well picking up both airsoft and live fire. Beep volume also very adjustable with several different frequencies of beep. I hesitated to buy it reading about the v1 problems but v2 seems to be fine,
  6. I've only been at the PCC hard for a few months but I'm seeing rapid improvement in the basic skills like mag changes. I think, overall, PCC has a huge advantage during classifiers since we don't have to turn, shoot one handed, or draw from the holster. Because we don't perform the classifiers the same as the other divisions we need our own hit factors or we'll all be classified much higher than we can perform during a match.
  7. I'm at about 12k on my JP firing pin. I look forward to learning what you hear from JP.
  8. It sounds like we are pretty much in agreement. At our club we see a majority of hoser stages with only the occasional distance shot. On the distance stages the PCC really shines. I think PCC really needs its own classifier percentages. On classifiers where we aren't having to turn or shoot with only one hand It's definitely an advantage.
  9. Interesting results. For the sake of conversation my observations are a little different. We average 50-60 shooters with 4-5 M/GM depending on who shows up. Typically the same people are in the hunt for HOA regardless of what they shoot. At this weekend's match, out of 68 shooters PCC finished: 2nd 23rd 31 32 33 62nd 63rd In my humble opinion the only platform with a clear advantage is Open. Is has the dot and scores major. The PCC helps me when the shots are 20+ yards for stability and trigger control. Inside of 20 yards the bonus, for me, is the dot not the rifle platform. Its 3 feet long, 8lbs loaded, and scores minor. And, the majority of targets are well inside 20 yards. As far as mag changes, I really think it depends on skill level not platform. Of the A and better shooters I know they don't really consider mag changes an issue as long as there is a little movement between positions. So the question is why, on the average USPSA stage, does the PCC help some people and hinder others? Aside from the dot which Open and Carry Optics have I think the PCC helps some people with their trigger control. Of course, as trigger control skill increases the benefit of the rifle platform lessens and some of its negatives creep in. I hope my comments are not perceived as argumentative. I really enjoy the PCC vs ______ conversation and intend it to be light-hearted.
  10. I have this conversation all the time with people who think the PCC is always an advantage. I'm Limited M and started shooting PCC exclusively about 4 months ago. Like Eric said above, its all about the stage design. Close targets with a lot of swinging back and forth or ports and I'll take the pistol every time. Distance targets with fewer setups and PCC wins.
  11. Glad to hear yours runs well. I've been thinking about picking one up for the occasional super high round count outlaw match. I usually run Taylor Freelance, can you say how the drum feels compared to the 40rnd mag/extensions?
  12. I have the SMART model. The video quality is good. I didn't mind the smaller FOV. My problem was that you have keep your head all the way up. I tuck my head in (turtle) so I was only filming my forearms.
  13. My 16" PCC is so quiet that I've had to reshoot stages at every match because the timer doesn't pick it up. I've shot 8 matches with it at 3 different clubs. So, I'd be interested in some kind of side porting comp that would make it louder but I don't want to add another 2" to a 16" barrel. If I found a reasonably priced 14.5" I could pin a comp on I'd buy it.
  14. I've tried it a bit. I found that on those extreme weak hand, off balance positions it may be viable but it wasn't as easy as I'd hoped. Putting the laser on the target while leaning out weak hand isn't as easy as I'd thought it would be. Tracking the laser is much harder than your dot or sights as well. But, I'm finding that my weak hand shooting is coming along much faster than I thought it would and it won't be long before I can transition to weak hand 10 yards and in with little drop off in speeed/accuracy so I'm not going to spend any more time on the laser.
  15. What is it about the 16" that you prefer?
