Fasthenk65 Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 yeah, expensive adventure though... apart from the guns, optics I also need a new safe but I never felt luckier ! I have 2 top rifles soon and a new challenge! so looking forward to it feel 16 again regards, Link to comment
Nitro1 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I personally had a PWS 9mm with a JP SSCS and had all kinds of issues with the JP gear. Not to mention that it kicks like a mule in comparison. Only shot a JP a little but the recoil to me still felt like a AR and hard hit. The MPX is soft and smooth. Moved to the MPX PCC and it is amazing. Just run factory loads and you are golden. I personally don’t think cleaning is any harder since you don’t have to combat the SSCS or a buffer tube. Just my opinion. I can tell you in the states that my old PCC is still sitting on the wall to sell for over a month now. Already lowered price twice and if it finally sells I will lose around $500. Don’t seem to hold value well over here. Hope it is different across the pond. Good luck and have fun. Link to comment
Fasthenk65 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 Tnx Nitro! MPX about to arrive any moment. JP June estimated, keep you all posted, Bye from Europe! Link to comment
Boss1622 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I have the JP and would strongly recommend it. One thing to think about is the availability of service parts for the MPX, SIG has not always been the best when it comes to parts availability and where you are limited on how many guns you can have, you don't want to have one sitting in the safe because you are waiting for parts.

Shadow Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Another thought is to google "Sig MPX problem" and "JP GMR-15 Problem" and consider the results. Link to comment
Fasthenk65 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 Yeah. My biggest challenge is parts (except getting TTI and `precision stuff into Europe).. You guys are lucky! Don't forget. I travel to USA (SF and LA) this holidays.. Guess what? They don't even sell to Europeans... grrr... ```````whatever, update you when rifles arrive , sig should be first in weeks... Link to comment

And then google sales numbers for each.... and then consider how many casual plinkers running all sorts of suppressor and ammo combos are using JP-15's (short answer: very few) Link to comment

To each his own. Link to comment
Fasthenk65 Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 The Sig MPX PCC is underway.... Should arrive in days... So excited! Link to comment
RolexJohn Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) I've been shooting the SIG MPX for 3 years - first, the MPX Carbine, and now I also have a MPX PCC which is my backup. I've tried a few GMR-15's and have never been remotely motivated to switch - but I'll admit the JP's are purdy. Both of my PCCs are equipped with aftermarket parts from both In Lead We Trust and Isler Custom Gun Works (both are sponsors). For a trigger, I run the Hyperfire Competition (haven't changed the trigger out in the MPX PCC, which is quite good). Yes, do keep it clean - but both carbines have been extremely reliable for me.

harry007 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) Hi i’m looking to buy a MPX K gen 3 occ here in europe (ideally spain) any recomendable dealer ships? thank you!! Edited November 22, 2021 by harry007 Link to comment
rpm8300 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I've owned several AR-15s in 9mm as well as every version of the MPX - Gen 1, 2, 3, and now the 'latest' Gen 3. After running both platforms for a while, I've settled on the latest Gen 3. Sig keeps refining it so it actually runs for the competition world with reloads and not just factory. The latest version has a modified gas/pistol block which has been 100% reliable so far; I've had issues with all previous versions. I think the Sig shoots nicer in my opinion, but the AR platform can be taken pretty far and will definitely not hold anyone back. For reference, on this latest MPX, I run 115 coated (different brands) with 4.0gn of N320 at 1.11 for a 135PF or so - very soft feel with fast dot return. Link to comment
Fasthenk65 Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 after my first MPX had reliability problems (with factory ammo) I sold it, it still has (many ) problems after a year I couldn't resist and bought another one... within few hundred rounds again problems, sold it back to LGS and now he has the problems I swear by my JP and with 115's factory, a blitz HD + weight and 308 spring it is all ok.

RWV100 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I have a blowback style with all the brekke customs stuff and criterion barrel so very comparable to the JP and the newest model MPX and I have shot the JP and even the newest model not released had a chance to shoot. to me blow back guns all feel pretty similar the MPX is considerably softer I can shoot faster splits and move and shoot easier in matches. if I would have shot one before I got the blow back on I would have never bought it. I like my blowback gun it runs great but the MPX seems like cheating after using it lol. Link to comment
