jpeters11 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Could always use it as an excuse to SBR the gun. Current form 1 e file times are under a month and real easy to do. Shoot me a message if you want to go that way and have any questions. Link to comment
Az595 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Ok, Until I pull the trigger on a pcc, or need advice on the purchase, I wont pester you with any more questions after this one. Is there a competition class for me and my braced MPX? It's just so much fun, and the long barreled PCCs just dont compare for me. I've shot a few. Dont want to get a tax stamp. The thought offends me for some reason. Thanks, Pete Link to comment

Az595 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Not asking about any illegal matches. Asking if there are any classes that allow braced pistols. Is this site USPSA only? Looking for someplace to legally shoot a fun firearm with like minded people. Link to comment

Nothing in USPSA, some level 1 matches will look the other way. Find an outlaw pistol or 2 gun match, is the easiest. Link to comment

But it is primarily a competition site, not a plinking site. There are not any competition instructors who will waste their time on it. You should be able to find a tactical Timmy instructor who will gladly take your money though. Link to comment

You’d have to shoot it from a holster that covers the trigger, and use 170mm magazines. Could still run afoul of 5.1.10. Edit: and weak hand only stages would be tough!

And 5.1.10 will not affect it since by the official ATF ruling, it is not a stock. With everyone making their own Kydex holsters, I am sure that won't be a problem either. So again, what about Open? I don't see anything else that would disqualify it. Will you win anything with it? Probably not. However, just a thought...Merry Christmas all. Link to comment

If you have an AR pistol and it conforms to all pistol rules, you probably can. Is there a rule that braces cannot be used with pistols or a specific barrel length? What defines a pistol and what modifications can be done? Link to comment
brian45acp Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 D8 6 is your rule. Answer is no Link to comment
gng4life Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 4 hours ago, brian45acp said: D8 6 is your rule. Answer is no I think you missed the point here. D8-6 is for PCC division only and states a stock must be attached and Sig braces/variants are NOT allowed here. If you read D1 - Open Division, there is no mention of this. As long as it doesn't have a forward grip or stock (5.1.10) (Sig brace is not a stock IAW ATF ruling), what else would preclude this from being used? Comments? I am in no way trying to stir up anything, merely just discussing the rules we have in place and how they may apply to the OP's question. To the OP, the short answer is No. However, to Open division - we can discuss that. Link to comment
perttime Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 IPSC rules do not mention braces. Not sure if a US IPSC match would agree to consider a brace a stock, for the purposes of a match..... IPSC PCC Rules: 5.1.10 The firearm must be fitted with a stock enabling it to be fired from the shoulder Link to comment
SwedishMoose Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) Well that makes sense because braces are a uniquely American loophole item (for the most part) while IPSC is international. Edited December 26, 2019 by SwedishMoose Link to comment

You need to get out more if you've "never heard" of anyone else doing that. It'll blow your mind to find out that I also did the Form 1 suppressor that I built. I'm well aware of the legal depth and letter size requirements. Edited December 26, 2019 by Eric802 Link to comment
SwedishMoose Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Also not to mention that the depth requirements are not hard to achieve (.003 inches) Link to comment

The question was about shooting this firearm in Open division so D1 is what we are discussing in relation to the rebuttal I posed. We already established that the rules state you can not use a Sig brace in PCC (D8). So back to my original question, why can't you shoot this pistol we are discussing in Open division?

Fun discussion though. Thanks. Link to comment
