Narrowing down which 9mm PCC to buy

[Bang4Buck]

We're all seeing more and more of these at the range, and I also shoot competitions from time to time and the PCC class is booming. I'm jealous of your toys. This would mostly be range toy and shoot a match from time to time.

I think I've narrowed it down to 4 based on price and features and wanted thoughts from those of you that have shot these. I refuse to buy the Sig MPX based on overall price and the ridiculous cost of mags. The QC 10 look nice but over my budget.

Reliability is the most critical to me, as I see a lot of cycling issues at competitions. As I started doing homework on this, I'm disappointed LRBHO is not more common. Glock would print money all day if they'd build a PCC, but I'm not going to hold my breath. My final 4 unless someone chimes in with something better:

Scorpion Evo 3 - Would obviously have to replace the trigger based on what I've read
Foxtrot Mike - Probably the 7 inch barrel
Primary Weapons - Is this worth paying the premium? https://www.primaryweapons.com/product-url-6483
PSA - Lots to choose from and would likely go with the 8 inch barrel https://palmettostatearmory.com/ks-4...-firearms.html


What say thee?

I’d stick with a blowback gun for a range toy. A gas gun (PWS) might be problematic with wimp ammo.
I tend to run a lot of “barely minor” 9mm in my range guns (pistols) and having the ability to use that same ammo in a PCC is attractive.

Has anyone shot both the 5 and 7 inch Foxtrot Mike and able to provide comparison? Obviously the 7 inch has a side charging handle and the 5 inch has more traditional charging handle. Curious which you prefer?

I chose the 5" traditional charging model, in part because I wanted to maintain control familiarity / muscle memory across all of my AR's.

FYI - They also have a 7" tri-lug barrel / 5" hand guard upper with traditional charging as well. (@prmax's top photo - Probably my next venture)

I get the feeling I'll have so much fun with the 7" I just ordered that I may have to get a 5" as well.

I finally took mine out. This is the future(?) https://www.extarusa.com/ep9.htm Left hand charging handle. 4.1lbs. I love it! I have 2 PSA's, and a home built 16" .40.

PWS is also blowback.

Apologies. You are correct sir.

With your user name I suspect the Wilson Combat AR9 available in Glock or Beretta flavor is a no go.

I am huge on a PCC taking the same mags as a companion pistol.

If that was not a factor for me,
I would probably grab an EVO.

Wilson makes great stuff but I'm not ponying up that much. I'm also leaning more and more towards a "pistol" (ridiculous game we play with names) so I would prefer something smaller, so the 16 inch barrel is less appealing to me. While I hear good things about the EVO and know it is popular, I'm slowly moving away from going that direction. Based on money and features, the Foxtrot Mike looks like the best deal. It takes glock mags and has LRBHO feature. I just wish I could shoot all 4 and this would probably be a very easy decision for me.
