![]() ![]() The PCC balances well with the mid-point being right at the forward takedown pin. It goes beyond the shoulder of the barrel and start of the threads making it impossible to mount a some other larger compensators or a suppressor.Īt a bit over 6.5 pounds the MPX PCC levels the scales nicely between being light enough to move quickly and heavy enough to help control recoil. The only negative I identified in the entire review of the MPX PCC is that the handguard appears to be a bit too long. This keeps a shooter from putting their hand out too far and catching the muzzle blast from the compensator on their fingers. At 15.5” long it has plenty of real estate for mounting lights, lasers or vertical grips.Ī subtle, but important feature of the handguard is that it has a slight downward flaring at the muzzle end that acts as a small hand stop. It’s slim enough for small hands to easily and comfortably handle, and long enough to offer plenty of room for even the tallest shooters to take a forward grip on. The new full length M-LOK handguard on the PCC model was a fantastic upgrade. Rail section along majority of the top of hand guard was removed to reduce weight and size It points naturally and lends itself to making the rapid target transitions required in speed-based events. The MPX PCC feels great and it shows when you get it on the range. It doesn’t matter how well it looks, how accurate it is, how reliable, or how light and fast a trigger resets if the gun feels like a brick in your hands you aren’t going to shoot it well. Accuracy seemed more dependent on individual bullet design than favoring a particular bullet weightĪnother factor I consider important is how a gun feels. This gun isn’t going to be limiting your ability to hit your targets at any PCC matches. Even the military ball ammunition consistently managed sub 3” groups. The lower price point Hornady American Gunner 115’s pulled a second-place finish at 1.38”. The smallest 5 shot group was a 1.24” delivered by Hornady 115 FTX Critical Defense ammunition. Top quality ammunition often brings the best accuracy The gun was shooting so well that I feared the red dot sight might be holding back the results so I mounted a Nightforce 2.5-10x scope and continued the testing. Accuracy testing was done at 50 yards off the bench supporting the gun on a couple Armageddon Gear range bags. I found the accuracy of the Sig PCC barrel/ action to be fantastic. The little Nightforce 2.5-10x may be overkill for the 9mm but it made group testing a breeze to find true accuracy ![]() The trigger weight averaged out at 4 lbs 13 ounces after 10 cycles on my Lyman Electronic Trigger Scale. It’s a robustly built trigger to stand up to the punishment that the rapid cycling PCC bolt dishes out while still providing a reasonable pull to allow fast accurate shooting. This isn’t one of Timney’s super light precision long range type triggers. The MPX PCC comes from the factory with a Timney single stage trigger. The trigger and the accuracy of the barrel/ action are two of the most important factors in the overall performance of a firearm. The 9mm round only has a small amount of exhaust gas and pressure to work with compared to rifle rounds, but when competing at the highest levels every bit helps. The simple but effective design works well, keeping the muzzle steady allowing faster follow-up shots on target. The lightweight contour 1:10 twist 16 inch barrel now sports a three chamber compensator to help reduce the already minimal recoil generated by the 9mm carbine. Compensator is designed to minimize weight added to muzzle allowing for rapid target transitions ![]()
