![]() PCCs can be problematic and extremely finicky, primarily due to the wide variety of 9mm pressures and resulting recoil, but the MPX platform’s unique gas piston design delivers perfect reliability, with hyper-velocity Liberty 2,040 fps 50-grain rounds all the way down to 158-grain subsonic 850 fps Fiocchi rounds. I have owned a number of PCC formats, and the Sig MPX is the only option that has been reliable out of the box, with the exception of a factory-tuned Primary Weapons Systems PCC. It seemed to me then and now that owning ATF regulations firearms which are already meeting even the most extreme registration criteria seems like some degree of insurance to continue 2A rights. ![]() During the pre-Trump years, there was a potential for a very aggressive 2A attack, and we could face the same thing over the next four years. At the time of the purchase, I was dubious as to the longevity of the pistol brace concept and wanted an unquestionably legal PDW in a format I could put hard use into. The Sig MPX is a platform that is well proven, supported, and warranted, which customers might not get with other PCC SBRs. One of the biggest pitfalls and risks customers take on with expensive-to-purchase and hard-to-sell ATF-regulated SBRs is investing in a form factor which could ultimately prove unreliable, unsupported, and ultimately disappointing. After shooting thousands of rounds through each of the three Sig MPX models I own, the reliability, accuracy and design has proven itself over the last seven years of my two factory Sig MPX braced pistols and a registered factory SBR model. Based on the 2A sentiment, I would do it again, and if required, SBR my other two MPXs. I purchased the backordered braced MPX and still had it in hand before the ATF SBR tax stamp arrived for my SBR purchase. A few months after dropping the cash on the factory SBR, the 4-inch braced model became available. All these things pulled me into the MPX concept and gave me faith that my investment in the MPX and the extra $200 SBR tax stamp would bring grins at the range and not tears.Īfter owning my first braced 8-inch-barreled MPX, I felt more than comfortable investing in a Sig Factory SBR version of the format, which at the time was the only 4-inch-barreled model available. The size, accuracy, recoil and capacity also have made it a popular home defense firearm. The Sig MPX and other similarly designed models are still seeing accelerated growth because of the reliability, accuracy and reduced shooting cost of the platform over a 5.56-chambered option. Oddly enough, Sig was not responding solely to the then-growing PCC market, but was offering it as an option to the H&K MP5 pistol and SBR prices, which were easily hitting the $3,500 mark for very used guns. With all the new AR PCC formats on the market, one of the biggest splashes in the market back in 2013 was the introduction of the 9mm Sig MPX format in pistol, rifle and SBR models. Add in the rising cost of ammo and the reduced cost of shooting a PCC and the market has caught fire. ![]() pistol caliber carbine (PCC) market leapt forward, the PCC market remains one of the hottest-growing firearms segments thanks to the continued growth of SBRs and stabilizer brace options.
