rowdyb Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Right now I think of shooting PCC for fun, not for competition. For the people who are shooting PCC with the idea of improving, competing and winning do you have a second pcc like you would in a pistol division? Having a second pistol is smaller and lighter so easier to carry around the match, whereas a second rifle takes up "more". But a PCC definitely isn't too expensive to have a back up, so I'm jsut wondering who has one? Link to comment
Aircooled6racer Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Hello: I am working on my 4th upper and 2nd lower AR based rifles. I have my Mech Tech as well. I take both to a match but leave one in the car if needed. So far I have not needed it. Thanks, Eric Link to comment
Posvar Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Absolutely. With the low cost options it doesn't make much sense not to have a back up. My first match I drove nearly three hours to play. I had multiple issues which prevented me to have even one clean run. It was a benefit match and I was still having fun so I stuck it out. The thought of a second gun was on my mind all day! I won't shoot another match like that without one in the car. Link to comment
Flatland Shooter Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I'm still experimenting with this PCC stuff. If it takes hold, I will build or buy another with my current (less expensive) gun relegated to the role of backup. Link to comment

SergioSF Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) I'm too broke to have a backup Hoping to see more offerings in the market for Q1 2017. Edited December 29, 2016 by SergioSF Link to comment
konkapot Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 If I stick with PCC and go back to shooting majors I will absolutely have a backup, or a practice gun/match gun. Link to comment
pfcchambers Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I have a back up now. Actually had my side charging handle break at a uspsa match on the last stage. Luckily I had a buddy let me shoot his and finish. I have a back up now. I just keep it in my vehicle and it's there if I need it. Link to comment
DocMedic Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Right now i'm shooting a SBR MPX as my main gun in uspsa. I don't exactly have the coin and patience to drop for another MPX and $200 tax stamp while waiting a year for it to be approved. I thought about picking up a Full size MPX or JP down the road so my wife can also play during the weekends but I just don't see that happening for a while either. So instead I carry a parts kit like I do for my 3gun rifles, that should cover everything except a catastrophic failure. If SIG ever releases their damn caliber conversion kits, I'll have a second upper I'll carry around to majors (I'll get a "free" upper assembly for having a 1st gen MPX) Edited December 29, 2016 by DocMedic Link to comment
Aircooled6racer Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Hello: Or you could build another AR 9mm that uses Glock or Colt mags. Depending on the build it can be done for between $600-$1200. Thanks, Eric Link to comment
Alvin Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Just finished up my second PCC for a back-up or whatever. Digging around found some items on sale, plus what was in my parts box...Picked up another Hahn bottom feed for one of my .223 AR's and boom! have another one. I put a internal fake suppressor on the 16" barrel so see if that would make much difference in dot bounce. Makes the carbine "look" like a short barreled rifle with a suppressor(as the "suppressor" is not past the end of the barrel). These things are just plain fun to shoot and very inexpensive. Taking both to the match on Sunday...they'll let me shoot one of them as a "reshoot"(doesn't count for score) just to make sure everything is running correctly. Link to comment
ranger Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I built a PSA 9mm 16 inch AR before PCC started to practice with on steel on a pistol range. My buddy let me shoot his MPX SBR so now I am waiting on my MPX SBR stamp so I guess I have two - one AR 9mm and one MPX. I like the 9mm AR as a way to practice with an AR anyway. Plus lots of fun to shoot! Link to comment
Bob Hostetter Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I have a 16" BAD and an ultra light weight 10.5" BAD, with a carbon copy backup for each. The 16" I use for California matches and most USPSA type stuff, the 10.5" for steel matches. I just leave the back up in the car with the extra ammo. Link to comment
Carmoney Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Always have a back-up plan! ? Link to comment
Big Dog Howie Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I have the CZ Scorpion carbine as my main PCC,but going to SBR my CZ custom Scorpion pistol and that will be my backup Link to comment
