I have a couple PCC's and have handled a couple others, this one right out of the box is damn sporty!

Great review. Seems like a well thought out PCC, especially the Glock mag compatibility.

Interesting review. While reading I was wondering how it compared to the Ruger PCC, especially as the Ruger (with free-floated forearm) MSRP is about half of the RRA's. Is the AR-pattern of the RRA worth double the outlay of the Ruger offering?

Are two stage triggers preferred for competition? I thought a single stage trigger would be faster. Great article!

Most shocking this about this thread?

I didn’t even know RRA was still around!

In regards to the feeding of FP bullets, would there be a feed ramp cut, or does the mag angle negate that?

What zero distance did you use?

What was the drop going from 50 - to 100 yards?

Not sure how to answer that. I don't have any more than a few rounds through the Ruger PCC and it felt more like the old
Marlin Camp Carbine than the MSR we have come to love.

Price difference worth it? Some guys love the Rock Island 1911's other guys Les Baer. Both as...1911's.

Sorry I don't know how to be more specific.

Damn, did I say that? Some certainly prefer two, over single. I just like triggers I can run at speed and give me the feedback for
precision work. This one does that.

I was surprised that without a feed ramp it fed everything so very well! But as you suspect the mag angle played
a significant role in negating the need for the ramp.

I was pressed for time (deadline) and failed to note that info.
