Powdervalleyinc has some small pistol CCI as well. A bit tricky as it queues your cart. A little elbow grease (keyboard) should do the trick.

I used to get burns on my right forearm from spent casing bouncing off when ejecting. That's one of the reasons why I always wear the arm sleeves. Not sure if that would have prevented your arm from getting blasted by the broken extractor tho
South paws think alike. It's a Right hand dominated world and most of us find creative ways to go around it or 'what doesn't kill you makes you...'.

What mount are you using?
I think it's an NCStar weaver mount. I have to check when I get home.
-
Yup. Image below when I had it as a 2ndary offset.
I'm now using it exclusively as primary offset.
I know. I'm weird but I'm a lefty so go figure...
I think I'll play with 507c for now until something comes along.

PCC bug hitted me, love it! New Sig PCC underway.
As far as I understood rifle is ready to race?
My question: what do you as owner consider as an absolute must to add to this rifle?
I have a Holosun 510c... Your input is highly appreciated.
Taccom SIG MPX Recoil Cushion. Kinda short strokes the cycle giving a perceived 'quickness' to your shots.
I like it and it's not expensive and easy to revert back to previous setup if you don't like it.

Fired my Sig MPX (Gen 3) PCC yesterday for the first time and it won't run my Xtreme 147grn (132 PF pistol loads), same load runs perfectly on the CZ Scorpion, basically turn the MPX PCC into a single shot, FTE/FTF, but recoil was really soft. Tried also some factory WInchester 115 grn white box ammo and that run perfectly but the recoil was a lot more than the 147 reload. Do you guys have the same experience? I thought the new MPX PCC has a bigger gas port opening to run softer ammo better? What load are you guys running on the new MPX (Gen 3) PCC? Using Xtreme 147 grn & 3.0 Titegroup, with 1.135 oal, this load do about 132PF off CZ pistols.
You might still have not enough gas to cycle. TG is ok with straight barrel pistols but when you need gas, either you add more TG or find an alternative powder that can generate more gas.
Last year, I chrono'ed 125.1 in a big match I shot with a 115 gr. bullet, no jams. I am using VV320 and might have move the powder measure to the low side. I stay on the 130ish PF just to be on the safe side.
Hope this helps

Try both, ask local shooters to try their PCCs. They both can be reliable and fun to shoot. Most of these qualities are shooter preference at the end of the day.
In fairness, I've seen a fair share of AR9s that fail, too. Any platform will potentially have issue. The key is knowing what's worth changing (ammo, parts, accessories, etc.) and what not to touch. Some PCCs run out of the box, but most IPSC/USPSA shooters will tend to tweak their platform sooner than later.
I started with JP (no complaints, excellent almost every aspect) and ended up with a Sig MPX G2. Several factors made me keep the Sig. I come from Open Div so I like pushing my equipment. Cleaning frequently is an ingrained routine. I like it clean. Cool factor, magazine is curved. I think mags with more than 15 round should have a curved configuration, just my opinion.
Either way, get what fancy you most and make it work. Shooting season has started here in the south and it'll be over with before you know it.
Cheers!

This seems to be a common argument, and it all comes down to a lot of opinions and anecdotal evidence. Patterns emerge over a long enough sample size and with that said the pattern seems to be:
-JP is a go getter right out of the box, if you don’t want/need/like to modify guns and just have them be reliable this is the route to go.
-MPX has what most people consider to be 2 mandatory upgrades (trigger and stock, charging handle is debatable), however, it is pretty well agreed by the majority of shooters that have shot or owned both that the MPX is the softer/flatter option with very little dicking around with finding the “perfectly tuned load” and buffer set up. There have been complaints about reliability and some are probably user induced others are possibly the gun/gas system design.
My experience is that I spent close to $2500 doing the full meal deal on a blowback gun with qc10 bones and all the go-fast cool guy upgraded parts then shot a MPX and proceeded to spend close to $3000 to get that fully set up with all the go-fast cool guy upgrades. If I were to do it again I’d skip the blowback gun and just go straight to the MPX and be much happier about my PCC life.
MY experience is identical to yours. JP, then MPX. I tend to agree with your recommendation of going straight to MPX.

Nice, and great info, much appreciated.
One question to you........................... My primary optic right now is a Bushnell TR25, the offset is( will be when I put it on this weekend) a Vortex Viper. I will be replacing the Bushnell this winter, with either a C More Railway or a Holosun 510C.
How do you like the Holosun, weight wise? The 510C is 13oz, almost a pound. The C More is 5 or 6 oz's. I purposely built this gun as light as possible, no tactical reason, I just wanted to see how light I could build it.
Mounting a just shy of a pound dot on it would go against everything I did when I built it, so I am leaning toward the C More, unless you un convince me .
510 does weigh heavy (8.3 oz per website specs), especially if you are leaning towards lighter setup. 503 is at 4.3 oz. Some would argue weight distribution and balance is more important. Nonetheless, it's easier to tweak your setup when you have lesser weight to mess with. C-more is tried and tested, reliable and familiar. I would switch to a smaller dot (4-6 moa) if possible.
One consideration is if you go to matches where you expect to shoot in a low sun angle, you are at risk of sun burst effect. Over the years, I had to deal with it with c-more (slideride, rts,rts3). I've also encountered it in 510c. The 503 doesn't seem to have this issue, probably because of the tube(?).
For now 503 is the primary for me, my 510 is mounted in my backup. Just like everyone else, I will still be on the hunt for the 'optimum' optic.
Hope this helps..

Mine broke in less than 2K.

Lefty setup on my MPX. HS 503 primary with HS - 507 offset(left).
I haven't shot it yet but I like the 507 35moa circle already compared to the 65 in moa in 503.
I also like the 510 but 503 seems to meet my needs. Hoping to get results from 507 in coming weeks, weather permitting...
507
503

I would recommend Holosun 503C for USPSA-type use. It's a red dot in a small tube. Very light and battery lasts 30K hours and up. Affordable too.
Especially useful when shooting against direct sunlight, no sun burst.

I'm gonna try tappet and plug in ultra sonic cleaner.. what cleaner are you using ?
I'm using Lyman turbo sonic
-
I try to clean mine after each match. Old habit from open gun days.
tappet and gas plug goes to ultrasonic cleaner, comes out nice and shiny.
I have Gen 2, approximately 4k -5k rounds. Internals are all originals, I had 1 jam early on when i just got it, not sure what caused it.
My guess was when i was tweaking my load...Never had one ever since.
Like Phil said, zero holds even when you clean tappet/plug.

1.13" 115 gr. Precision Delta JHP
-
My load is 115 FMJ Precision Delta, with 4.3 gr of VV N320. OAL is 1.13". My MPX is a gen 2, 16" carbine.
I have pushed it to around 1K without cleaning the valve. I however, I cleaned and oiled the bolt midway.
I currently clean the valve/tappet around 500, give or take. No issues so far.
Best of luck

Love the Isler HG. The diameter is perfect for my hands. The weight difference from the stock HG may not be a big difference but the overall feel and balance seem to make my gun handling in USPSA matches more manageable. YMMV.
Downside is it is quite an investment. But it has the "WOW" factor.
If you have the additional budget, I highly recommend it.
-
Nice, what load are you using?
-
I prefer closer to charging handle. I tried moving it forward but my eyes prefer the blur it sees when the optics is back. My advice is to move it around til you get the best spot.
-
Used this as a guide. Mine was a little tight on first disassembly. I fist disassembled and cleaned mine after approx. 300 rds and it was somewhat tight.
I cleaned it again after approx. 500 rds and it was no where hard compared to initial disassembly.
I'm trying to push it to a thousand round or so as one of our local shooters seem to think it can push to that schedule.
Best of luck.

Jp gmr-15, broke at around 2000. Stock jp competition trigger factory installed. Replaced with a new one but haven't shot it that much yet.
Anyone know where to find primers?

That didn't last long. Sorry to hear.
