It features an 8.3" Cold Hammer Forged barrel that’s extremely durable and provides great ballistics for the ubiquitous, cost-effective 9mm rounds fired.

This rugged, reliable short-barreled pistol is built and backed by Daniel Defense, the most trusted name in firearms.

- The Best Quality PCC I Have Ever Owned.The Daniel Defense PCC is one of the finest, top-tier PCCs available. The DD PCC bolt catch design is elegant and clearly superior to all other ARs. Every other manufacturer should wake up and redesign theirs accordingly. The engineering and build quality of this PCC are off the charts.
Daniel Defense really overbuilds this PCC, which is a very good thing. The DD PCC is ergonomic, dependable, soft-shooting, and extremely accurate. Overall, this is a well balanced, top-tier quality, dependable firearm that is so very much fun to shoot. I am very impressed and quite pleased with it.

- Runs like a sewing machine.The few reviews you can find are over priced, or cheaper to build one. This is always from people who dont own one without fail.
This thing completely exceeded my expectations. Put in a partisan disruptor, just dropped in. Ran 500 rounds through it, it was the most fun ive ever had. Not a single hiccup, and the accuracy? Im a very good pistol marksman, but at 25 yards with this and a red dot I can make every round touch. Doubles and triples are effortless.
I cant believe this doesnt have more press. Id rather shoot this than any other gun I own now.
Thanks Daniel for bringing these to market.Posted on
- DD PCC Best in class weaponTop tier PCC. With a Rarebreed frt it sings like a songbird. Over 5K rounds all weights (115, 124 & 147) in rapid fire and semi auto with absolutely no failures to fire or feed. It has become the only gun I want to shoot. With a Holosun it will ring steel at 200 yards. Life is too precious and short to not have a Daniel Defense PCC.

- Great AR PistolGreat AR Pistol. I have shot a lot of AR Pistols and I must say this gun is a 9.9 out of 10. Extremely accurate. The only thing I did not like was the trigger. It had to in excess of 5lbs. I replaced the trigger and now it is a 10 out of 10.

- DDPCCThe PCC's performance is where it truly shines. It offers exceptional accuracy, with a smooth, consistent trigger pull that enhances precision even during rapid fire. The PCC uses a hydraulic buffer, making the recoil minimal and follow-up shots quick and steady, which is perfect for both competitive shooting and recreational use. The build quality is immediately apparent and, in my opinion, unmatched. The PCC uses CZ Scorpion magazines that are easy to find and won't break the bank. This is my favorite AR of all time. I have never had as much fun with an AR as I've had with the DDPCC.

- DD pcc 9mmI have got to say very sweet . A few issues with the first time use. I felt like it needed a bit more oil in a few places. After the first few rounds she was ready for some fun. Very light weight. Something I was looking for. Not hard on the shoulders. I did dress it up with sights and other accessories. I’m happy. Great job DD. Plus US made here in my state of Georgia. Proud owner.

- First shotsPicked up my new DD PCC pistol recently, my expectations were high as the weapon is a relatively new model from DD, expectations were exceeded as I put the pistol through its paces, very little kickback ….300 rounds went smoothly as well as accurate…no ftl’s… excellent quality. Would highly recommend…

- Superb Weapons System for Home DefenseI recently purchased this DD PCC pistol in 9mm at Atlas Firearms in Winston-Salem, NC, and couldn’t be more pleased with it or their service. I have never owned a DD firearm before and the build quality is off the charts: the manufacturer really overbuilds the weapon, which is a very good thing. The metal is thick and the fit and finish is tight. I traded in my old Ruger MPR in .556/.223 as it is not a practical home defense weapon in the urban area in which I live. I purchased a Dead Air Mojave 9 suppressor for the PCC and went through the standard ATF registration process. I basically shifted my home defense system to an entire “9mm ecosystem”: the suppressor fits my Glock 19x and H&K VP9 interchangeably and all three use uber affordable and ubiquitous 9mm ammo. That means more practice (which we all need) with much less cost. This DD PCC was revelatory: despite being a direct blowback design, it is smooth as silk to shoot with BB gun-like ultra light recoil. The weapon is light and maneuverable in tight spaces like hallways (even with the Mojave suppressor attached) yet very balanced. I was tapping 2” size rings at 50 yards with the Romeo optic. Of course, I upgraded the mediocre OEM Mil Spec trigger to a 3.5 lb CPCC trigger and the conversion really helped with follow on shots. I have put just over 2,000 9 mm rounds (in both 115 grain and the subsonic 147 grain) through it without a single jam (but I keep my weapons clean, too). Overall, this is a really well balanced, high quality, and reliable firearm that is an absolute pleasure to shoot. I am very pleased with it and would purchase a DD weapon all over again. Yes, this PCC is very expensive, but, as the age old saying goes, you get what you pay for, and that’s certainly true in trucks, tools, lawyers, doctors, and weapons systems.

- PCC PistolHave been looking for a PCC for awhile now and finally made the DD my choice…after a short wait at my dealership I took possession and couldn’t be happier with my choice. The DD PCC is everything I have been looking for…AR style means familiar controls, accuracy, and aesthetically pleasing from muzzle to brace the PCC pistol is going to be at the front of my cabinet for awhile. A+ DD

- Fun & AccurateI got mine in January and it has been a”kick in the pants” to shoot. I put a red dot and magnifier on it and have been ringing steel with it at 50 and 100 yards. I am approached at the outdoor range by many curious onlookers asking to shoot it. It is just FUN!!!
