  1. LOL! Oops! Now I found yours. Thanks for the heads up
  2. Crap I forgot to ask! Does anyone here live in Indiana and have a JP I could try?....Please....
  3. I started a thread, a while back, asking the question on which platform for PCC. Glad I found this thread due to the amount of information listed! My issue is I'm trying to use the PCC for other roles, suppressor host, fun gun and defense which will make it even harder to fit into the gamer gun only slot. Play money not high right now so I'm leaning towards a CZ Scorpion in either SBR or carbine configuration. I thought about building AR9 as well. Also the JP fully length and SBRs looked very nice.
  4. Nice videos and I requested to follow you on Instagram. Thanks man
  5. Also forgot to mention I'll probably go SBR so it can be portable and concealed really easily. And YES everyone I realize trying to get a platform to fit multiple roles means it will not be the best at any of them but at least I have something to play with in PCC. However, purchasing and using a AR would be better because I use one at work.
  6. Reference JP service I completely agree. I attended one of the past NRA conventions and spoke with one of their staff/booth personnel. We chatted for quit some time about AR builds etc and he was extremely nice, knowledgeable and willing to assist me in whatever I needed. At the time I was working for a local gun business and was trying to get setup with them for custom builds. So far JP is top-notch on several levels and I would LOVE to purchase their product. As has been stated before ... "you get what you pay for." The Scorpion is probably going to be the option chosen because it will fill a few roles outside being my gamer PCC. If the money is available, meaning the hot sexy wife allows it, I'll get either the JP or MPX.
  7. I'm in southern Indiana. Thanks for the offer/info and if I was closer that would awesome for sure.
  8. Again THANKS everyone for their input! I borrowed a friends pistol version Scorpion, with a brace, and the recoil does indeed suck . Hopefully I can get a few different platforms together, when the weather turns nicer, for a comparison later this year.
  9. I've had a 550 and 650 for some time and LOVE all the good information listed in this post by everyone. Thanks everyone!
  10. Every Wednesday!!! That would be sweet. I'm ready for the winter to be gone and get to shooting outside. Had some work done on my Limited gun and ready to plow through the reloads at matches and practice.
  11. SWEET another shooter and forum member from the GREAT State of Indiana. Even though its winter here there are a few places, Parabellum and Applied Ballistics, holding indoor matches. Even though its inside with limited space they do some pretty fun stages in my opinion. Hope to see you there.
  12. Welcome and I'm from Indiana too. And since that is the case Indiana has to be GREAT !
  13. Welcome sir! I'm from Indiana too and new to the game. There are some really GREAT people in USPSA here. I have been treated so good at matches. I shoot Limited but looking to get into Single Stack. I too absolutely LOVE the 1911 platform.
  14. !!!! The addiction is REAL for sure. Good luck in your USPSA journey
  15. Way to big and heavy for sure. STI has some other 2011 options which would be much better.
  16. Not much more I can add. GREAT info/advice listed before this. If cash flow allows I will get a back up and if not go with parts.
  17. Thanks for optimism and confidence. I don't win B class all the time but when I do I still compare myself to my friends who blow me away each and every match. I try and squad up with them to watch what they etc. That may not work for others but I really enjoy getting completely owned by my friends because it drives me to do better. They are nice about it most of time . I just go out and try to push it slightly more each match. I have some REALLY good friends/shooters locally that I know that have me under their wings. So I don't have any excuses to not move up to A in 2018.
  18. Thanks for the insight sir. I will look up what the pros are using but still think 9mm is where I will start. I shoot a friends Rock Island in 9mm and it was very soft but need to try more then magazine. I don't plan on any major matches and most of the local matches would be fine with the 9mm. I'm not a fan of the limited number of factory made SS in .40 caliber. Nothing against the STI Trojan but I really want to try a Dan Wesson Pointman Nine PM-9. I have a STI Edge but want to try another brand. I have two kids I'm planning on introducing to steel and hopefully move them into USPSA, if they want to. So the 9mm would be better. They will more then likely start off with a PCC of some kind though and not a handgun. Come on the PCC is so FUN! Same ammo for PCC and SS so that a winner. I realize the .40 can be down loaded but I really like some of 9mm factory guns out there. I will contact some local friends in the USPSA game and see what the each option feels like BUT the extra rounds in SS minor will probably be the winner winner chicken dinner.
  19. HOLY COW that is awesome is so many ways! I will try it and see what happens. Thank you sir.
  20. This is deep but I agree. I also slow down I little on the first stage of a match. Probably not the best advice since I'm a newbie. Not that I walk it but I like to have a pretty solid run. Most of time I mess something up but for the most part the first stage is a positive experience because I get the warm up in that one is not allowed before USPSA matches.
  21. This is my best advice also. Stay in your rhythm. changing things up before a match is a recipe for disaster. If better habits make sense before a match, they make sense all the time. Not really sure why one would vary from their normal habits. Sure if its hot out stay hydrated etc but just like your gear and ammo etc don't change stuff at the last minute before a match.
  22. I agree. I play this game as accuracy slightly before speed. I'm a newbie so you may not want to take my advice . So I put some bulleyes type drills in at the end of each live fire practice session. Not so much in dry fire though which is probably a mistake...did I mention I'm a newbie...LOL! I started Bulleye shooting before USPSA. I still like it, not anywhere close to USPSA though, because it forces one to focus on the fundamentals.
  23. GREAT advice and instruction here. Thanks everyone for helping us newbies improve. The video posted which JJ drew on the ground was awesome.
  24. I'm new to this sport but I don't see the point of "sandbagging." Each to their own of course. I try and go all out no matter if the stage is a classifier or not. Belief me I am very competitive but like having fun with this sport too. I have a few local friends that are GMs and Ms and I always compare myself to their scores. I like winning B class but don't really care much about that. May be that will change as I attend larger matches and get trophies but I doubt it. I like to keep myself humble and teachable by comparing my performance to much better shooters. So on a positive side the class win is fine but I'm gunning to one day smoke my friends. Bottom line....go BALLS out and try your best on whatever course of fire!
  25. I shot this on 10-18-2017 at an indoor match in Indiana. 1. Limited and B class 2. 34 points 3. 4.74 seconds 4. 7.17 HF
