  1. Only if you care about classification. It's a skill most can neglect entirely and still place very, very well. I agree reloading a straight stick 50+ round glock mag isn't the same as an AR mag, but a 30rd MPX mag is similar.... Also needing to reload on the move is a good skill, which is basically entirely negated in USPSA for PCC. 30rd mag would be a step in the right direction IMO, but it doesn't ruin anything for me.
  2. Yep, and it's hit-or-miss as to if they'll have them in-stock when the coupon is good. Usually it's just brass on sale. But when the stars align.... double your order
  3. Third'd. I got into PCC comp as training to run a rifle, which runs (generally) 30 rd mags. I run larger ones now to stay competitive.
  4. I would think vv340 would work exceptionally well behind a 115/124. That said, I have a Gen1 and I run 3.4-3.5gr of Clays and it eats it up.
  5. So it's a classifier/no-movement stage winner? Is it strong enough to hold on while running/moving? If it's a classifier gimmick.... meh
  6. The ticket for MPX's has been medium speed burn powders and lighter projos. Some will run on TG, some won't.
  7. ....why? It's not practical and you're admitting to those guys that you should have a handicap. More harm than good IMO. Go out and shoot your match.
  8. And that is what the 'PCC is cheating' crowd doesn't understand. Welcome to the dark side
  9. I ended up selling mine. It was too whippy for me. a 16" pencil bbl was better, but I ended liking an 8-10 bbl w/ taccom extension w/ brake clocked @ 1:00.
  10. I don't have an issue seeing mine honestly. Any brighter and it would be TOO bright for indoors/overcast conditions. You really shouldn't have to search for it, look where you want the gun to go, etc.
  11. That is/was Max. Not sure if he still does it, but he had a kydex holster for it on his belt. It would help to keep from zero'ing a stage if you practiced the replacement procedure. For local matches I was g2g zero'ing but not losing the whole day. Just go to the safe area, pop it in and continue. I broke a firing pin on the very last stage of the IA sectional last year after having a pretty decent run at it.... It was a huge points stage (the one with doors). Was painful... I now shoot an MPX.
  12. I would say 90% of the time when I see FTE MPX threads it's a hand-loader using TG and/or heavier bullets. If you insist on using TG (I'm cheap too) I'd drop your bullet weight and up the charge. If you have more invested in 135's, I'd move to slightly slower burning powder (sport pistol, etc). If this isn't 100% your issue it will still give you a much wider operating window to avoid mid-match issues. For reference I run a 124gr. everglades JHP over 3.4-3.5 grains of clays in a Gen 1 (wider gas port). I had 16 lbs of the stuff from my shotshell reloading days.
  13. ^ This man speaks the truth. I just threw an extra bolt in my bag when I shot an AR9... needed it.
  14. Height over bore on the laser is much shorter on the laser. 3 yards on the laser for me. 12 yards on the 510c. The green laser is highly visible IMO and I have to keep myself from looking at it, esp on steel at distance (white background makes it pop). I like the laser for classifier type hip-starts and close headshots so I don't have to use holdovers.
  15. Totally new carrier design to eliminate tilt (thus less energy req'd to cycle) gas port sizing, etc. Gen 1 pistol or Gen 3/PCC at this point.
  16. Colt style. The last thing you want is a lazy mag catch.
  17. Are you sure you want one? Colt mags are notoriously hard to seat on a closed bolt. A weaker spring is only going to make that worse.
  18. I assume when it's ejecting, it's hitting the wall of the receiver/backside of the ejection port. Could be the ejector needs a slight tweak.
  19. Switching shoulder is slower, but generally more accurate (for me) so on longer shots or if I ONLY have leans from that position, I'll mount weak-side. Otherwise a green laser has worked the best for me.
  20. I use them as first mag for classifiers. Less curve = less likely to hang up in the magwell.
  21. Spare rifle for me. Nothing like hammering out roll pins at the safe table... If it stop working, case it up, uncase the backup and keep going. I've rarely seen someone come back confident enough in their equipment to shoot worth a darn after 'fixing' it.
  22. I run @ 45. Gen 1 vs 2 lower should be identical. But it's Sig, they differ from one to the next in the same Gen. I just said that to say if you have reset issues that's where you may need to look.
  23. I have two Gen 1's. I had to sand the pad on the back of the trigger a bit on both of them until I had clearance, but otherwise fantastic. I don't ride the safety, so I couldn't tell you, but it's a large paddle, which I like.
  24. I have 2x of the Odins on MPX's w/ Hiperfire triggers and they work fantastically well.
