Overview

The DD PCC Pistol is the Title I route to the short Daniel Defense 9mm. The barrel is the same 8.3-inch, 1:10 twist tube as the PCC SBR, under the same 7-inch DD4 free-float M-LOK rail, with the same DD A2 flash hider on 1/2x28 threads. It transfers on a 4473 like any other handgun, with no tax stamp and no Form 4 wait.

The rear end is an SB Tactical SB3 five-position adjustable arm brace, which is what keeps the gun out of NFA territory and gives it the same 22.5 to 27 inch length range as the SBR. At 5.9 pounds bare it is a couple of ounces lighter than the stocked version.

Everything else carries over from the PCC line. The fire control pocket is standard mil-spec AR-15, so PCC-rated drop-in AR trigger groups fit, while the upper receiver, blowback bolt carrier, and the patented dual-locking ambidextrous charging handle are proprietary to the platform. Magazines are CZ Scorpion EVO 3 pattern rather than Glock or Colt.
