  1. I bought one when they first came out. Worked great for the first 2-3k rounds. Then I started getting failures to reset which got worse when I switched to the Blitzkreig buffer. Spraying Brakekleen in it after every match seemed to help, but if I don't do that then the failures to reset will happen. Trigger was just sent back to CMC today so we'll see what they find. Loads used are 135-137pf with 115 grain bullets.
  2. I have about 3k rounds on mine. I had the occasional failure to reset, then of course when I let a visiting GM use my gun for our State Match then it completely fails to reset because of gunk in the disconnector spring. I may move on from this and back to either the JP EZ kit, or the drop in JP cartridge trigger.
  3. That's me. Wilson Bulletproof firing pin broke in half after about 3000 rounds, all with a CMC 9mm trigger. In total I've broken the Wilson and two CMMG pins in Faxon and CMMG bolts. Going to order the Iron City Rifle Works pin and hopefully thats the end of it.
  4. I've been using 4.1 grains of Vectan Ba 9.5; 115 gr Precision Delta FMJ at about 1.125 oal. Haven't chronoed yet but it should be about 135-138 pf. This powder leaves sand like s#!t everywhere in the action. Tired of the mess. Bought this powder cause it was cheap at PV. I've given up and going to work up a load with N320.
  5. Currently using 115's after trying all of the popular weights, from 115 to 147. The heavier bullets are softer shooting for sure, but it seems like I can run the gun faster with the higher velocity. With that said, all of my use is in a relatively small bay with shots no more than 20-25 yards. Barrel is 14.5" with a pinned and welded comp.
  6. I have mostly Brownells mags with one PSA and a Metalform. All of the mags will sometimes spit out rounds when you drop 'em. I think it's unavoidable with the double column/double feed type mags.
  7. My PCC is on the lighter side, probably about 6.5 lbs. 14.5" QC10 barrel with a comp pinned and welded to 16". With the MBX buffer I'm using the gun is very stable. Prefer the lighter weight as it's easier to transition, move around, hold with one hand opening a door, etc. Went the same way with my Limited gun; lighter. Dumped the steel grip and went back to plastic as everything felt faster.
  8. Precision Delta 115gr FMJ with Vectan Ba 9.5 powder. Powder Valley was all out of Prima SV at the time I ordered. With BBI 115's I couldn't get the rifle to feed reliably into the chamber until I shortened the OAL to 1.090. I'm paranoid about the gun puking at Area 2 with an OAL that short, so I'm sticking with FMJs until then. Once I burn through my stash of FMJs I'm going back to the BBIs. As for the powder, recoil impulse is OK but it leaves this sand like s#!t all over the place like Silhouette does. Using up the 3lbs I have of the Ba 9.5, then it's on to another powder.
  9. At my PD range I regularly find 9mm military brass of what looks like Winchester manufacture with the NATO headstamp from local military units which borrow our range. I load those military brass the same as I do any other 9mm brass on my 650. Other than the primer pockets being a little tight, the brass resizes/deprimes/primes normally. The primer pockets do not appear to be crimped.
  10. I'm using up 4lbs of Vectan Ba 9.5 that I bought to try out. Current load is a Precision Delta 115 gr FMJ with 4.2 grains of Ba 9.5, WSP primers, 1.125 or so oal. Recoil impulse is quick with almost virtually no muzzle rise with PF around 135+ or so. 4.0 grains gave me 131 pf so i went up to 4.2. Still have to chrono. With 115 gr BBIs I had to load real short; 1.090 for reliable feeding. 4.0 grains and BBIs gave me close to 140pf so I dropped the load down to 3.9 grains. My only complaint is the powder leaves this sand like s#!t all in the action and trigger group, kinda like what Silhouette leaves behind. Once I use up this powder I'm moving on to Titegroup, 231 or N320.
  11. Ha! Just because I've broken two STI and one Wilson ambi safeties, and a grip safety in my Limited pistols... So far so good with the CMC 9mm trigger. Paid $170 at Primary Arms. It has held up after about 700 rounds, and I also used the KNS Gen 2 anti walk pins with it right from the start. My only minor quibble is that when trying to go fast it's easy to not let the trigger reset all the way. I wish that the reset was a little more positive. Releasing the trigger lets it reset and you can continue blasting. I also noticed that my firing pin retaining pin was bent all to hell after putting in the CMC unit, don't know if the trigger had anything to do with it. I don't recall the pin being damaged with the 24c that was in the gun prior. Replaced the pin with a KNS solid pin and all is well. I ran a Hiperfire 24c in the gun for a while. No issues at all with the trigger resetting, but it kinda felt like a trigger in a striker fired pistol and most definitely not 1911 like so I decided to try the CMC. Reset was short though. Overall, a good reliable trigger for PCC which I'd consider again simply for the fact that I know it works. Regarding breaking firing pins, I think no matter what trigger you put in the gun, the AR9 will break firing pins no matter what. I look at firing pins as a consumable part. I broke firing pins in CMMG and Faxon bolts with a JP trigger, Hiperfire, and now the CMC. Currently using a Wilson Combat Hardcore firing pin so crossing my fingers that it holds up.
  12. If you plan to shoot a lot of PCC then I'd say it's worth it to have two loads. I find myself in the same predicament. Didn't like how 125's felt with the PCC, so I started using 115s which I prefer in the rifle. Prefer 125's for Production.
  13. The calculator on the USPSA website was spot on. My run posted at 92.1348% and pushed my PCC % up to Master
  14. Shot this one on Sunday in PCC; 14A, 4C so 82 points. Did the first string too fast; 3.48 seconds so that’s probably where 3 of the C’s came from lol. There’s ample time in strings 1 and 3 for PCC, but string 2 you have to get that reload in there quickly. Calculator on USPSA website says 92.1348%; hope it stands.
  15. 5'11" tall, running my PCC with the stock on the second hole from fully collapsed. This length feels the most natural with my Cmore scope.
  16. Forgot to add that I use 125's in Production at around 132-135pf, and 115's in PCC. The 115's are too snappy out of a pistol for me but run the PCC great. Tried 125's, 135 and 147's in the PCC and the 115's feel the best.
  17. For PCC I like to load 115's at 138-140 pf. The rifle seems to run better with the ammo a little warmer. For Production, 132 pf for locals and 135 pf for majors.
  18. QC10 has an AR lower which takes MP5 mags as another option. I wish they made one that'd take 10mm MP5 mags, but thats another story.
  19. Tried both red and green; ended up sticking with green as red seemed to bloom a little. The green seemed a little sharper to me. I have astigmatism in both eyes so that's probably what's causing it.
  20. I've run two Colt mag lowers; first a CMMG then a QC10. Only feeding issues I had were with a Taylor Freelance+10 basepad equipped 32 round mag with mousefart 147 grain loads, or from shit reloaded ammo (yeah, my fault), and trying to stuff a full 32 round mag into the gun and load with the bolt closed (solution: either load with the bolt open or download so the top round isn't pushed up into the ejector). The mousefart loads in the TF basepad mag made 130 or so pf, barely cycled the gun, but caused a yard sale (shit everywhere aka double/triple feed). If I use lighter bullets loaded hotter the mag was flawless. Evidently the mag doesn't like mousefart loads with heavy bullets and my MBX buffer. Going to use 115's at 135-140pf anyway from now on and adjust the powder charge so the TF equipped mag feeds 100%.. Using regular 32 or 20 round mags, the carbine is a sewing machine. I'd recommend a Colt lower without hesitation.
  21. I have larger size hands and use a SIG P226 Elite when I horse around in Production. I honestly feel I don't give up much to the guys running the $1500 tricked out CZs. The grip is definitely large on a P series gun with standard grips and the regular trigger. I use the stock plastic grips and the GGI medium trigger, with their competition spring package if you go that route. Wish there were more sight options though. Throw the stock short trigger in the trash if you have that cause it sucks. Those SIGs shoot groups like little rifles lol.
  22. Hehe, that's one of my .38SC Open loads: 11 grains of N105 with a 115 gr jhp. I'll have to try it at night.
  23. I unfortunately reside in the Democratic People's Republic Of Hawaii. We have a 10 round pistol mag law, so for USPSA we do L10, Open-10, Production, Singlestack, etc. Its a felony to insert a loaded hi-cap mag into a handgun here, but of course the criminals here don't bother with such trivial concerns.
  24. My vote goes for EGW fire control parts, small parts and safeties. Bar Sto for barrels; the one I have in my back up Limited gun has made it the most accurate gun I've had so far. For slides, the Brazos lightened Limited slide is a good value. For $400 you get a lightened and flat topped slide, with sight cuts. After using a steel grip for two years I went back to plastic for my main match gun. The grip made the gun shoot soft, but felt like a boat anchor so I used a textured Brazos plastic grip with this latest build. Using this combo of parts in my back up 5" gun I've gotten a quick handling and accurate little blaster.
