Are PCCs "rifles" per this forum?

[Eric B.]

I hope PCC carbines (not "pistols') qualify here as rifles.
Last November(2021) I bought a RUGER PC chassis carbine. Then I began upgrading it, which turned out to be fun but more upgrades than originally planned. So yeah, "upgrading guns" is addictive, as we all know.
UPGRADES: 1.) M*CARBO-> ALL their internal and external parts for the PC 2.) MAGPUL->K-2 pistol grip, Angled Forearm Grip, MS4 sling, MOE 1/4" high cheekpiece (aligns my eye exactly with teh AEMS reticle). 3.) TACCOM Delrin snap-on flared mag well 4.) HOLOSUN AEMS circle/dot enclosed sight

SO... after all those fun upgrades I stumbled on Steel Challenge shooting on YouTube and later found two events PER MONTH in the Las Vegas valley. Bought a few thousand rounds of CCI 115 gr. 9 mm ammo and began practicing. Now I'm signing up for an event. Will I end up needing a 12 step program to quit Steel Challenge? Hope I can afford this and my club's monthly long range "varmint" competitions. As the kids say, YOLO.

Just you wait. Steel Challenge is the gateway drug to get you into USPSA.

It's a sickness.....
But I do not know of or have a cure.

Steel Challenge a "gateway drug" hmmm? Sounds good!
Been hunting but in September I'll be done and ready for Steel Challenge.
There a LOT of 9 mm PCC guns out there, a LOT! My God, everyone with a garage is making them.
But the best I've seen is the Brugget and Thomen PCCs with the hydraulic buffer to soften recoil. Very simple and more durable than the H&K MP5 bolt rollers. (But kinda homely.) ;o)

I could snipe with a PCC.... the target just needs to be fairly close.

I own two Redwolf and they are fun to shoot.

I have talked down on mine, but I had a load of fun with it yesterday. I think one big reason it seems to kick so hard is I have a box of 147g I started shooting out of it. Its pretty smooth with my reloads and 124g. I switched it from fixed irons to pop ups and a red dot. Someone left a target at the range at the 50y line. It was like a 15" circle with a 3" bullseye. They hit the target twice out by the edge and gave up it looked like. I beat the bullseye out of it for them shooting off hand. I wish I had a can for it though.

I have an SP5 with a YHM R9 and iron sights that is just to damn fun. I have though about switching it out to a B&T but i keep waffling on that.

B&T is AWESOME.. but imo the MP5 is simply the best smg/pcc ever made. I’d absolutely give a kidney for a MP5/10mm! Or better yet, one in 9x25mm Dillon
About to have one of the Turkish Century/MKE MP5’s here very soon
