I do have room to be upset. 5 of the local matches in my area are not allowing PCC's not do safety concerns but because of narrow mindedness. Now how can I be influential as you mentioned in changing attitudes, if in the end, i am not allowed to shoot at the match.
You could offer to set up a PCC match and run it how you want.
OR, we all can shoot together at a USPSA match. It is funny that is the quick answer go shoot your own match. As if I have said that everyone has to shoot PCC. I am not forcing anyone to do anything. It's quite the opposite.Great solution though using your logic we should run:
A revolver match for the two revolver shooters in the state.
A production match for those who need a challenge.
A single stack match for those who like to reload.
An open match for those who like to shoot fast and not reload.
Better yet everyone has to shoot only limited. It is the happy medium.
OR you let people shoot what they want within USPSA rules, for the reasons they want, ultimately shooting with their friends in the other divisions.

The difference is that all pistols can use the same start position, gun handling, etc etc. throw a long gun in the mix and the dynamics change which is the crux of the matter.
In our area matches are full to overflowing without much if any room to grow. So people shooting 2 guns or additional shooters will be a stretch. Plus 1 range doesn't allow long guns in pistol bays.
I would love to shoot a PCC match, but personally I'm not in favor of mix and match.
I'm very lucky within 1hr drive there are 6 Clubs I have shot PCC at every club, no one has had anything negative to say, and I have let dozens of people shoot my 9mm/PCC and all seemed to like. Can think of at least 7+ shooters went out and purchased PCC. And it's quick much faster than shooting most DIV. my mag holds 41
