  1. I just pulled this gun out of the safe after almost 2 yrs and noticed there is no retaining pin holding the silent captured spring assembly in place.   Just an empty hole where it would go.   

     

    Did it fall out somehow, or did this particular carbine in 9mm just not have one for some reason?    I cant remember.

    Don't overlook the importance of avoiding surprises when you can.  I live on acreage, and we have enough camera's that nobody gets close to our home without us knowing it. We have various protocols set up with the alarm, so that even during the day, if someone comes on our property, we know it.  In the middle of the night, we will be awakened in time to be able to prepare a bit.  For those that can, having systems in place to give you a bit of advanced warning gives you much more time to deploy the right weapons and not be in a "just heard a noise" panic.  

     

    Maybe  a dozen deer traverse my property every night, along with some coyotes.  Game cams verify it.   Motion alarms would just keep us awake all night long.

  3. I keep spare bolt and captured recoil spring assembly in range bag. 

     

    I've had firing pins, firing pin clips,  and captured spring assembly all break at some point  in around 30,000 rounds of pcc.

     

    In open div I've also had red dot optic go out mid match.

     

    So  best option is spare gun of course.

    HAH! That's hilarious!!!!

     

    We ALL know there are an unbelievable number of clueless MORONS out there but COME ON--I find it hard to believe this one!!!!   😆

     

    As I understand it, a  AR9 type PCC does not have that obvious feel (as pistols do) when a squib happens.   Especially if the bullet traveled 10in then stopped in barrel, yet action still fully cycled.   The pic above I suspect is a JP test, but I dont know that to be fact.

     

    Mostly this is a too-low powder-charge situation as opposed to primer-only discharge.   JP, I think, has suggested using steel-plate target for those first few rounds of your freshly made super-low power-factor ammo - just to be sure the bullets leave the barrel.

     

    I have never experienced a squib in my PCC yet, 20,000+ rounds, so I dont know what it feels like to have a round stick 10" down the barrel, or if carbine will cycle.

  5. Dont forget the 28 ounce  (1 lb 12 oz) loaded magazine thats inserted in front of trigger  guard for those long stages.

     

    The pcc handles much differently on round one versus last shot.

     

    So how much difference does that  +/- 4 oz on the handguard really make?     Not so much IMO.

    If you want a calibrating comparison try the same test on the comp of an open pistol running major.

     

    I shoot open too.   Once, shooting open thru a port, with no-shoot stapled on top of port, the comp. blast ripped cardboard in half.

     

    The forces are dramatically different with open pistol.

     

    Ideally (theoretically) the compensating forces should be much less with a pcc since they are acting on a leveraged position - the end of long barrel.

    Sort of related to this topic......

     

    Is there any significant use of 9mm PCC in law enforcement?   .

     

    Not that I have any decent information, but my guess is its very low and not growing.


    Just wondering since PCC makers will make to the expected needs of the market
