Some of the older shooters will remember (my 72 year old mind doesn't remember the name) a competition geared magazine years ago. Didn't last long tho, as the market place evidently was not ready.

You and Charlie have it right. I have been involved with this sport in excess of 25 years, from locals to Nationals. I wish your dedication was the norm, especially at the local level concerning design and execution. I am not slamming the effort that goes into setting up and running matches as I know what it takes. Thank you both for your efforts.

I know about removal and the improved trigger pull. There are certain games that require all safety features to be intact. At one time I had a very nice HP, with a great trigger and the mag safety removed, sold it on (nice profit) because the games I played had no practical place for it. Not into Limited 10 minor. HPs fit my hand better than most handguns and I shoot them well. Just interested to see that there is a new product on the market.

Would have been nice if they had left that out.

Does it have the magazine safety?
-
Go with the PM9, my other 1911s are Les Baer's and the DW is very close right out of the box.

Concur with Chris, this is a great match. Ryan and his crew deserve a better turn out to appreciate the level of local match they provide. We always have a great time at Ft. Wayne. Thanks to all involved.

Handled one for the first time today, was surprised how heavy it was. Guess I was expecting more of a 10/22 weight. Looks like a good thing if you don't like/want an AR base PCC.

Ryan and group, great match to kick off 2018, beautiful weather. Great fun and well worth the trip. Thanks.

Aging shooters, bad eyes, etc. Started this sport before there were divisions and love Limited, but can see the writing on the wall, even if it is blurry. Glad there is a division where my eyes are not a hinerance. CO and PCC will continue to grow.
-
If you already have the lower, it is the cheapest way to find out if you like PCC. I have one of the very early models and it has been very reliable on one of my G17 lowers.
-
I have had good performance with the Rocky Mountain Reloading plated 9mm and 45 acp plated bullets in both handguns and PCC.
-
I am using 5.3 grs of WAC with 124 grain plated or FMJ in a Glock 17 production, Les Baer SS, and PCC. Production/SS load is about 134pf, with the PCC higher around 145-150pf. Performs very well and accurate in all guns and, from what I see, clean.

Ryan, great match today. You guys do a great job and it is well worth the trip. As to PCC, you handle it well. Your grin at the end of each run says it all. Hope to be back next month. Thanks for all the hard work.

Mine is not the typical AR-based PCC. I put together a Glock 17-based MechTech PCC. It will shoot any off-the-shelf 9mm and will reliably run reloads with a PF of 135K or better (normally 147g Bayou's). The only challenge I've had is getting the right magazine spring combinations when utilizing the Taylor Freelance 10+ extensions.

I've had very good luck with RMR plated, both 9mm and 45. Price is reasonable with shipping included.
-
Don't over crimp plated bullets, can have an effect on accuracy, especially if the plating is cut.
-
I remember when a 1911 45acp with 10 round mags was Limited. At the 1995 Nationals a guy with a new Para framed gun seemed to have his gun checked by the RO at every stage, passed inspection every time.
-
When you get to 70 years old, I find I don't care what others say about they way I shoot. I'm there enjoying the fun, social interaction, and lunch after the match. Now and then even show the "kids" how it is done.

Have always had good luck with it in .223.

If I was in your position, I would contact RodneyLtd here on the forums. Not a well known name, but a great guy and builder. He has done a couple of guns for me and they worked great. Big plus he is in Lafayette IN.

Bob, that question just doubled your expenses!

Think so. I do remember getting several issues. No idea where they are now after several moves.
