There's a new competition league starting up here in North Carolina: the Pocket Carry Competition Association. This is the brainchild of Dean Brevit, the owner of Caswell Ranch. The idea is to give people who carry small "pocket pistols" or revolvers an action shooting league in which to hone their skills. I'm not very familiar with the rules for IDPA BUG matches, but from what others have said, the PCCA rules are a bit different. Currently only handguns with a barrel length of 3.12 inches or less are allowed, so we're not talking compact Glocks and M&Ps; it's really meant to be a place for those 2" revolvers, pocket .380s and similar guns.
I shot at the first match last Saturday with my Kahr MK9, and was sufficiently humbled by the experience. I blogged about it here. It sounds like there's already some interest from a couple of other ranges around the country, and I believe Dean said a gun rag or two is planning a story on it. I think PCCA fills a pretty significant gap in what the other action shooting leagues out there are offering and I think a lot of people could benefit if this took off.
