Default New Performance Center

I purchased a new Performance Center a while back and finally shot it today with a friend. Beautiful day with no wind.
We shot ELEY SPORT ammunition at nice targets with the original sights. We had fun and both of us loved it.
After the ELEY I fed it some 30 year old assorted rounds.
Had no problems at all! My soon modifications will be a green
dot front post and an ambidextrous safety. (I am a Lefty).
Great little rifle! This is a great forum for getting tips and
information. Keep it up.. Hickory

Tacticool22 handguard swap is a great upgrade.
The mcfadden lightning loader is another add-on that I couldnt live without.
Have fun shooting!

I use Eley sport in my 15-22, very nice, cheap and accurate round, i would also consider a pistol grip change. I fitted the Hogue on mine and the finger grooves really aid and are a big improvement over the stock grip

I'm a lefty and think the safety is in the perfect place... If anything I'd rather the bolt catch swap sides, pretty useless to me where it is now but not sure I want a SBR/BAD.

My favourite lefty bit is the Caldwell Pic Rail Brass Catcher... So nice not to get casings bouncing off the partitions and adhering to my face...

I also got the loader, was a bit tough to use at first but once I'd used it a few times it freed up, just hoping the lube on the CCI standards don't clog it up.

Thank you all. The pistol grip on my M&P Performance is just right for me. Had no problems shooting "Lefty". Thanks for the suggestions.
A better trigger would be nice but I dealt with a JC Higgins that my Father bought for me when I was 10 years old. I adapted nicely to that little rifle just like I have for so many years on right handed rifles, pistols and shotguns. Us "Lefties" have always been able to adapt.

The performance center model has the Hogue grip previously mentioned, as well as the VLTOR IMOD stock. The trigger is a two-stage RRA trigger, which should feel pretty good. My left-handed wife likes the PC 15-22 so much she has two of them. I liked the Hogue grip and VLTOR stock so much I put them on my M&P 15 OR and M&P10.

It is the Hogue Overmolded Soft Grip, with the compartment but without the storage kit for the batteries:

AR-15/M-16 OverMolded Rubber Grip with Finger Grooves Black | Hogue Inc.

vs:

AR-15/M-16 OverMolded Rubber Grip Ghillie Green with Cargo Management System Storage Kit | Hogue Inc.

The VLTOR IMOD stock has a compartment that I use for batteries so I never even looked until I saw your message.
