I've heard both.   That, YES, a brace is legal and that, NO, it's not legal.  


Does anyone have the ruling on that?



I'd love to build a PCC rig because it looks like a fun shoot, but living where i do presents some hurdles.  Building a PCC from an 80% and using a brace.....instead of a stock, gets me around that hurdle.

USPSA BoD ruled not allowed. Weapon is still a pistol in that configuration. The PCC division is supposed to be for carbines and rifles only. The other divisions are for pistols.

No one wants to eat right and exercise, and lower their stress levels, all of which will come in a lot more handy than a home defense carbine and chest rig

Not legal per the rules, but I’d bet some local clubs would allow you to use a blade.
I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6

you can't shoot a pistol in a carbine class.

Maybe after the match. The rules say no braced pistols, so no.

This reminds me of a local match, five guys standing around talking about how something should be ruled.  Let me be that guy that opens the rule book. No Sig braces or variants, 2019 USPSA Rulebook Appendix D8 #6

Now if you read on in the rulebook pistols are allowed in PCC when configured to a SBR or carbine. You can find that in the 2019 USPSA Rulebook Appendix D8 #6 and special condition #1 and #2.

IMO stuff like this is why there's been a proliferation of "outlaw" matches that are very similar to USPSA or IDPA but operate with a greatly reduced rule set.

Non of which have anywhere close to the participants or overall membership level. The rules can be frustrating but at their core most of them are there to make the competition better in one way or another.

USPSA rules aren't that onerous.  Now IDPA on the other hand......
