Fun shooting 9mm AR

judah7 · Jul 27, 2017

I do as well, and they should it's a pistol that hold a good Amount of rounds it was designed for. Not some rifle trying to be a pistol.

What do you use a PCC for? Plinking? Not spending 7 hundred bucks on a plinker. My hi point will out shoot any AR9, or any other PCC anybody wants to put up against it at the end of the day. That's my logic. I save 3-4 hundred buck's for more ammo and can still perform just as good as the more expensive ones.

I'm going to pontificate for a second. IMHO, the only way to make a PCC worthwhile for serious usage is to make it at least 2 of the following 3 things:
1. Light
2. Short
3. Quiet

Reliable 20-30rd mags are obviously a necessity for serious usage, too. Mounting a light is also pretty important.

Suffice it to say, all seven of my PCCs are SBRs that can be suppressed (well, OK, one's technically a SMG, whatevs). That may be the difference between how you and I are approaching this problem. From my perspective, that Hi Point doesn't really perform all that well in any useful role, hence why I'm unimpressed with your argument "no one needs anything better". If I want to plink, I'll use a 22 and save money, not shoot 45s for 25-30c a pop.

I said don't need anything better. Not no one needs anything better. And I actually said I don't need anything more expensive because I don't buy that they are better.

I don't really put a whole lot of stock into PCC's. It's A longer heavier pistol with a 16 inch barrelI... nothing for me to get excited about. It's Cool to have but it's my least used weapon system.... unless it's something automatic with a 8 to 10 inch barrelI

but I'll never own one of those.

People can buy what they want though.

I've noticed that Colt type mags (in my gun) only hiccup when the mag is leaning against something(bench, rest, etc). Otherwise, I generally have no problems. Mine is also a dedicated lower which I have attributed to some of the problems(not sure if that is the case so draw your own conclusions).

i've only had problems with Colt mags based on the manufacturer: some brands have never given me an issue, some have been ... trying.

but then i wanted my 9mm AR to take Colt mags to replicate the Colt SMG look, so...

So far, all I have experience with are ASC mags(32 round) and Brownells' mags (32 round). I stopped at the range yesterday after work and dumped three mags, rapid fire, without a hangup. All three mags were ASCs.

Anybody have a line on bumpers for Colt style mags? Any homemade designs?

I'm thinking more for baseplate protection while dropping mags.

glock 31 rounders plus the taylor freelance extensions get you (me) to 40/41 rounds!! we don't need no stinkin' reloads.

for those that really want to have fun with their PCC's, Peacemaker has monthly supersteel / falling steel matches where you can run around and hose down steel. next one is aug 26 and anyone new to competitive shooting (or experienced) is welcome to join me. you can also of course shoot handguns, and shottie's also. also, uspsa now has a PCC division so look for a uspsa match near you (uspsa website, or practiscore.com).

I'd like a couple of these http://taylorfreelance.com/shopping/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=176 on reliable magazines. No need to reload!

Quantico Practical Shooters has a falling steel match first weekend of the month now.

I am very interested in the pistol caliber carbine matches, but they seem quite rare in Maryland. I'm on the move and can't look it up but where is Peacemaker?
