Thanks for the post. I have experienced this exact issue with my CMC PCC triggers. When mine get dirty, they do not reset. When I get a dead trigger, I can push it forward with my finger and it resets and will fire. Not conducive to good steel challenge times. As you, I very much like the trigger pull and quick reset of CMC triggers. I am interested to hear CMC's response.
Currently CMC has my original trigger. I waited until after Xmas to ship it, so they just received it. I will post the response when I get it back.
The new trigger and safety (I run an ambi 60 degree safety) are working fine.

I have the Tubb's spring along with the 5020SS buffer and A5 tube. I find it to be a very smooth combo. But I have only a couple matches ran with it along with half a dozen range visits for testing and practice. So far, so good.

@midvalleyshooter - I'm trying to figure out the Kynshot setup now. I ordered a Taccom Super Feed barrel that has 5.25" of rifling and a shroud making 16" total length, paired with a Taccom short stroke bolt. He says his 3 stage air system paired with a his spring spacer is similar to the Kynshot, but it's hard to not go with a Kynshot....although it's equally hard figuring out what I need. lol
I have no experience with Taccom. Maybe someone else can chime in on that.
I had a carbine length buffer tube, 7.5 ounce weight and a traditional round .308 spring in mine and it jumped around some when firing doubles or bill drills. Changing to the A5 buffer tube, Kynshot 5020SS and the Tubbs flat wire spring really smoothed it out. Much less movement now. I'm still getting used to it.
Good luck with whatever you choose!

OP There really are no bad choices of the ones offered. I started with a Ruger and it ran great. The better AR trigger system (IMO) lured me over to an AR9 build.
Mine has an Aero lower, Odin upper & bolt, Faxon barrel with integral comp, Smoke Composites handguard, A5 buffer tube, Kynshot 5020SS buffer and a Dave Tubbs flat wire 308 spring. My optic is a Holosun 510c and my trigger is a CMC. Currently my trigger is on its way back to CMC for repair/replacement. I like the CMC enough that I ordered another one.
I was amazed the difference the A5 tube, Kynshot buffer and Tubbs spring made. All good stuff.

My response from CMC is to fill out the RMA return form and ship it to them for inspection. They provided a shipping label and are covering the shipping costs. I ordered a second CMC trigger to use in the interim. I have other AR's, so the spare trigger will not be wasted.

I have a cmc and a jp triggers in my PCCs, and they do get crudded up
When I clean them, I separate the lower, hold it over a bucket and blast the trigger group with ether CRC or Napa brand silicon spray and let it dry and relube
the carrier on those is acetone which strips away the crud and leaves a silicon film on the parts
I did send my cmc in for repair due to a broken spring, they fixed it and sent it back fairly quickly
also make sure you wear nitrile gloves, those chemicals are not good for you
Thanks, I will try the silicone spray.

I emailed CMC with my issue. Will report back on their response.

I have a CMC PCC trigger in my AR9 with an Aero lower. Fouling is causing the trigger to jam and it will not fire. Unburnt powder and gunk is getting in underneath and it is as if the safety is on when it is off. PCC wont fire. Then if I disassemble it and clean it thoroughly it works fine. To me it appears the enclosed style of trigger promotes this as the gunk collects and cannot get out.
Is there a PCC trigger that is more open in design yet still has a nice press and reset.
FYI, I like the press and reset on this CMC PCC trigger. But the fouling is happening with just a couple hundred rounds. I'm using Sport Pistol which is supposed to be clean.
I am open to any suggestions.. different trigger, powder or I could just detail clean it before every match.
Thanks,
Keith

Hi, I'm looking for an old school style folded belt loop kydex holster for a Glock 34. Bladetech and other makers used to make and sell these. I can't seem to find one now.
Thanks in advance, Keith

I ordered an A5 buffer tube. Thanks

Good morning, I'm looking for a little help with a buffer question. I'm wondering if the Kynshot RB5020SS recoil buffer will run in a carbine length buffer tube? I have read where people say it needs an A5 buffer tube. On the buffer package it indicates it "may require a modified bolt in order to properly reset the trigger" if run in a standard carbine buffer.
So it "may" work in a carbine buffer?
Either way what are the pros and cons of the carbine buffer tube vs. the A5 buffer tube?
Thanks in advance,
Keith

Thanks fellas, I will keep working at it.

Well I decided to skip PCC for this one and shoot Limited for this one local match. For me the hard left lean puts to much pressure on my back. Whether using the .45 degree offset SRO or transferring to the left side and using the 510c main dot I kinda suck on this Classifier. Especially with the movement in the confined area and throw in a couple of reloads.
I am kinda new at the PCC game and a Super Senior. So I have a lot to learn and I'm not as flexible as I once was:).
Best regards,
K

Those of you who have shot PCC on Payne's Pain 99-12 that can offer advice on handling the leans please chime in. I'm going to set it up in the AM and give it a try.
Thanks in advance

From the User Manual:
I have found, with my Pro Chrono Digital, that in certain lighting conditions I could get erroneous readings from reflections off of certain bullets. My fix was to clamp an old pillow case over the diffusers which acts like a "shade tree" directly over the top and/or sides as needed.
Also, my SOP is having the center of the Chrono 10' from the muzzle of the pistol.
Thanks, I will try that.

What was the distance from the muzzle to the first screen? Unburned powder and/or shock waves from high pressure at the muzzle can cause misreads. The recommended distance to the first screen is 15'.
Definitely closer than 15 feet. We were about 6' away. I will try it further out on the next range visit.

My Buddy and I were at the range this morning practicing shooting. I broke out my ProChrono made by Competition Electronics. I have had it about a year and have used it about six times.
All of our loads were giving consistent velocities. Except my Buddies 9mm load. I was using Sport Pistol under either Blue Bullets or Everglades bullets and I got velocities about what I expected. My Buddies 9mm load was 231 under Xtreme bullets and instead of his loads being in the 1,100 FPS range as expected they were 600 FPS or so. We were thinking this was odd as his loads were fine in the past.
I then took my carry G19 and alternated his loads with mine in a mag. One of his, one of mine etc. The chrono gave the same as before. Mine around 1,100 FPS and his around 600 FPS. I was firing them and they did not FEEL that much different??? This is one of those things I would not believe if I had not been there doing it.
Can anyone offer an explanation? Have you ever seen this before? I'm stumped:)
Thanks in advance,
Keith

Title says it, Which plate to best add a SRO to a Sig X5 Legion?
Can you point me to a plate that mounts an SRO to a X5 Legion? I would like it to be set back as much as possible to keep the front glass as clean as possible. Any other pros and cons would be appreciated from those that have "been there and done that."
Thanks in advance

I did not intend to order the fiber rear sight. Meant to get all black. My plan was to run green fiber in the front, all black rear sight. But when I saw the sights (they came this way) I figured I would give them a try.
So far they work pretty well for me. Keep in mind I will be a Super Senior by the end of this month and my 20/15 vision is long a thing of the past:) Add to that I have Parkinsons with a pretty strong tremor in my left hand. So I am doing this because I enjoy it and find the bright fibers pretty easy to pickup if the dot is off. This brings the dot into the aperture window of the SRO. The red fiber front looks nothing like the SRO dot. But going forward if I get confused it is easy to change the fiber color:)
Thanks every one that posted for all the input!
This is what is working for me, though it may change. But as always YMMV.
-
This is what I ended up with and I like it. My off hand index and also index in awkward positions is a work in progress. So these sights allow me to quickly index the pistol if I lose the dot.
I spoke to Dawson Tech Support and they assisted me in picking out the sights I wanted. They are very low in the SRO window but work great for me.
-
My TLR-1 HL is only 4 ounces, but since it is right out front I like the balance.
Also I notice most that have posted don't use any backup sights. I am fine picking up the dot freestyle and strong handed. My issue came up during a weak hand only string. I completely lost the dot and ended up aiming through the tube for a few shots.
I'm sure in time my left hand will learn to find the dot. But I'm thinking the backup sights would be a crutch to get me by until that time. My question about the sights is which ones and how tall should I get? I'm thinking as low as possible but still visible at the bottom of the red dot window. I see this called lower 1/5 sights??? Is that correct?
Does Dawson have something that will work? I will call tomorrow and find out.

Or maybe just grip the gun harder
No to iron sights.
My grip is a work in progress.

Just a note to update this. Today I got the repaired trigger back with a Warranty/repair record with the following info. Replace hammer, springs, hollow pins and box. Regrease/retest.
I already have a new CMC trigger in my PCC so I will try this in another AR. I also received some swag from CMC, see photo. Thanks CMC!
