Crap I forgot to ask! Does anyone here live in Indiana and have a JP I could try?....Please....
-
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.

Nice videos and I requested to follow you on Instagram. Thanks man

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.

I like the JP also but buy direct from them, they have great service it just works . They have 2 on there site if you will be competing get the one with the competition comp . $1749 .
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.

BLT, where are you located? ORSA in TN is next weekend. There will be all flavors of PCC their. You could sample several.
Of all I have shot, if doing it over, I would buy the MBX
I'm in southern Indiana. Thanks for the offer/info and if I was closer that would awesome for sure.
-
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.

I've had a 550 and 650 for some time and LOVE all the good information listed in this post by everyone. Thanks everyone!

Thanks fellas , I’m in the northern part of the state. Michigan city rifle club holds indoor match every Wednesday, I used to go there religiously but my wife’s work schedule put a stop to that. I’m not a huge fan of shooting indoors but I dry fire a bit and shoot the rifles a lot in the winter..
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.
-
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.

Welcome and I'm from Indiana too. And since that is the case Indiana has to be GREAT
!

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

Heroin might be cheaper, but not as much fun.
Welcome to the addiction!
!!!! The addiction is REAL for sure. Good luck in your USPSA journey

Way to big and heavy for sure. STI has some other 2011 options which would be much better.
-
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.

I guess that means you'll very soon be an A ...
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.

I am switching my SV from 40 to 9. WHAT and take the hit on scoring? Yes.
If you are shooting a USPSA match that has all divisions, combinations of steel, plate racks, no shoots, hard cover, then I think 9mm is the way to go.
Many years ago at the Mid Coast Dual Championship-SS/Prod. Dave S points were significantly better than Taran B. I talked to Dave about it and his response was he had two extra round and was able to go faster knowing he had make up shots if he needed them.
Last year, at the WSSSC I shot with the winner and the #6 shooter as well as some well placed women. WSSSC is a tough match. Lots of everything. Steve and his crew go out of their way to ensure it is SS friendly. Regardless, I saw many standing reloads with the major v. minor caliber. So take that hypothesis, does speed (not having to do extra reloads or standing reloads) have the advantage over major scoring. Yes, I know that a SS championship has never be won with minor but then again look at who has 17 or so of them plus Nils.
It might be interesting to what the women shot at SS Nats. I thought Sara was shooting 9mm. Not sure just a thought.
I'll probably shoot 9 next month at the WSSSC.
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.

Funny as you think that sounds. We use to do that all the time back in the day!
One of the M class open shooters in our area has what he calls a student gun and lets it out for about a month at a time to people who want to try open.
Make mention of it on a couple of squads you shoot on and you'll be surprised what offers you get about using someone elses gun for a while
HOLY COW that is awesome is so many ways! I will try it and see what happens. Thank you sir.

It's not something you should worry about "getting past". It's something you should embrace. Used properly it is a performance enhancer. If seen as a negative, it will manifest as such.
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.
-
Only thing I can add is I try to not vary from my normal,
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.

In practice sessions I start with accuracy (50 rounds) then do whatever I came to work on and end on accuracy (50 rounds).
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.
-
GREAT advice and instruction here. Thanks everyone for helping us newbies improve. The video posted which JJ drew on the ground was awesome.

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!

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
