USPSA PCC rule

[dmshozer1]

Can you put a vertical fore grip on and be legal in USPSA  matches in  PCC division?

Thought I read somewhere you could but it could not be longer than 7" in length.

Forgive a stupid question, but why would you want something like that?

The rules, believe it or not, are vague on this matter. I just looked at PCC Appendix and there is no mention of them. But it does say all applicable handgun rules apply to pcc. Then Chapter 5 says no stock or foregrips on handguns. While I believe they are fine on a carbine I really don't see black and white permission.

PCC is all about speed and accuracy. No time to brace wall or port to shoot targets.

Not my intent.

Not my question.

I did not ask for your opinion.

Asked if the rules say if they are permitted or not.

Let me check,

Might have the wrong rule.

Ok,

I am looking at IPSIC rules.

I cannot open the USPSA rule book.

No mention of it in the USPSA rules?

Not at all. USPSA only has 5.1.8

 A competitor who substitutes or significantly modifies a firearm during a match without the prior approval of the Range Master will be subject to the provisions of Section 10.6.

Since pcc is kind of "anything goes" in most other areas (mags, lasers, optics, etc.) And only really specific about a very few things (pistol braces, nfa stuff), my local clubs don't seem to care.  Many of my fellow competitors are running some fashion of forward grip or grip aid.  I even saw a competitor with a strap like those short shotguns on his pcc (to be fair, though, he is a disabled vet and it allows him to be safer).   YMMV

So Sarge,

What do you think?

Sounds like if you left it on during the match it's legal

I have seen them used on PCC's but that doesn't mean they are legal. BUT, I think PCC is pretty much unlimited mods allowed. Like I said though, the rule seems confusing and contradictory. In my humble opinion they are legal for use.

Dave,

    Send Troy an email. He responds pretty quickly. That will end any speculation.

Or maybe someone could have just emailed Troy in the beginning and avoided this entire thread. Troy is an amazing wealth of information and I swear, must have memorized the rule book.

Or maybe recalls what he wants to and interprets the rest depending on which way the wind is blowing. Maybe that's just the production shooter in me talking

I think you've mistakenly logged into the wrong forum, this is the Enos forum, not that other forum.

I don't know how it took so many people so much bickering what is clearly stated in the rules as legal - BUT -

 

This has nothing to do with barricades.

 

I have an 8" barrel PCC, I'm 6' tall.

 

I have a vertical grip extended as far as I can comfortably get to the muzzle because if I don't, I'm choking up on the rail. I use it as a handstop more than anything else but where the BCM KAG and other such grips work well, I like bit more vertical to get my entire hand on (not around).
