I like to put these reports out every once in awhile when I happen to be somewhat paying attention to how people's guns are working. Here is how the guns that I saw today fared:

Pcc's: there were a few guys shooting pcc's, only one consistently choked today. For PCC that's pretty good day. Everybody was shooting an AR style PCC. So yeah, about four of them ran good and one did not. Pretty standard LOL

Open guns, there was one in my squad, it had issues on about half the stages

Limited optics/limited guns: these are all of 2011 variety, everyone worked that I saw

Carry optics guns: there were only two that I recall that fit in that division, was a sig320 and surprisingly enough it seemed to work okay. The other was a Glock, and I believe it choked on two stages. The glock looked pretty stock as I think it was the guys Carry Glock 19 with one of those little square microwave looking red dots on it

One guy was shooting a 9 mm 1911, it had no issues

And one guy was shooting a revolver and it had no issues


There's some random info, get out of it what you can

Have you seen any of the 320’s have discharges?

I have not. Several years ago when I first saw them I was very interested in them. Then after seeing several go down at matches in stock configuration with factory ammo I decided they were not for me. After that, the whole getting dropped and going off thing came about, then the combo of likely going off in holsters and blowing up with factory ammo started to rear its head, and I was glad that I dodged that bullet figuratively and maybe literally LOL


So while I've never seen one go off on its own, I do know people that have had them blow up, and I've personally seen them be the least reliable factory guns I've ever seen.

I know that's more than you asked for, but I figured I would just give my whole opinion right up front LOL

Props to the revolver shooter! I firmly believe shooting a double action revolver in action pistol events has made me a better marksman overall.
