Manufacturer details
Engineered for performance and effortless operation, the Daniel Defense PCC (pistol caliber carbine) 916 is the ultimate combination of precision, speed, and versatility. Built and backed by the most trusted name in firearms around the AR platform you know and love. This easy-shooting rifle provides the ergonomics and controls to meet any shooter's (left- or right-handed) needs with a fully ambidextrous charging handle, selector, mag release, and bolt catch. It features a legendary Daniel 16" Cold Hammer Forged barrel that’s extremely durable and provides great ballistics for the ubiquitous, cost-effective 9mm rounds it fires, so your shots consistently hit their mark. While the PCC916 is compact and lightweight, it’s also feature heavy and fully customizable, including having a free-floating, 13.5" DD4 rail with popular M-LOK attachment for accommodating lights, sling mounts, or a vertical foregrip. A great choice for a wide array of applications, this rifle is incredibly maneuverable and just plain fun to shoot—which you’re sure to do plenty of given how readily available and affordable 9mm rounds are!
