Daniel Defense PCC 916 9mm | 16-inch Threaded Barrel

The Daniel Defense PCC 916 is a pistol-caliber carbine built around a 16-inch cold hammer forged barrel and a free-floating DD4 13.5-inch M-LOK rail. It has fully ambidextrous lower controls, a hydraulically buffered recoil system and a threaded 1/2×28 muzzle for common 9mm accessories. For a practical optic under $1000 that pairs well with the PCC916, consider a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 for fast target acquisition at close ranges and useful mid-range capability.

Use cases: range training and pistol-caliber carbine competition (USPSA/IPSC PCC divisions) or general recreational target shooting.
