For years, they produced various rifles, receiver sets, and more for the world of 5.56, 7.62, 300 Blackout, etc. It took until 2021 to get a PCC out of them. All that time resulted in the EPC, or Enhanced Pistol Caliber, being more than just your average PCC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notice the words Enhanced Pistol Caliber doesn\u2019t designate carbine or rifle. That\u2019s because the EPC can be an AR rifle or pistol. It\u2019s up to the buyer or builder. You can purchase complete EPC rifles and pistols or just receiver sets and build your own. The EPC is whatever you want it to be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Breaking Down the EPC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At its core, the EPC is an upper and lower receiver, and while that sounds decidedly average, the EPC is more than that. Aero Precision didn\u2019t toss out a Glock compatible lower and say, \u2018Good game.\u2019 They worked to ensure their product was rock solid and innovative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the more interesting features is the last round bolt hold-open device functional with Glock magazines. It\u2019s placed in the upper receiver and resembles a hook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"488\" title=\"Aero Precision EPC: The People's PCC\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/0804211715-1024x488.jpg\" alt=\"Aero Precision EPC: The People's PCC\" class=\"wp-image-148966\" \/><figcaption>See that hook? It&#8217;s your LRBHO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The design is fascinating and works well. The bolt release sits on the lower receiver and is just like any other bolt release and lock on a standard AR-15. In practice, it works wonderfully and mimics standard AR ergonomics perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The proprietary magazine release is massive and places the magazine release button right where you\u2019d find it on a standard AR-15. All the proprietary parts of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.80-lower.com\/lower-parts-kits\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"aero-precision-epc-the-peoples-pcc-review\" title=\"Aero Precision EPC: The People's PCC\">lower parts kit<\/a> are included. It\u2019s easy to engage, and your trigger finger naturally finds it. Magazines drop free without issue. The magazine well is flared, making it intuitive and fast to jam a stick magazine into place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"488\" title=\"Aero Precision EPC: The People's PCC\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/0804211714a-1024x488.jpg\" alt=\"Aero Precision EPC: The People's PCC\" class=\"wp-image-148967\" \/><figcaption>That big handy magazine release is easy to reach. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Aero Precision utilizes a simple blowback system, and while effective, it can be rough on guns. Aero\u2019s lower parts kit uses reinforced trigger pins that will absorb the brutal beating blowback operation tosses out and works for years without issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Loading Up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I equipped the EPC with the new Vortex Sparc Solar red dot. Look for a review of that soon. I did a quick zero, and I was ready to drop lead on steel in no time at all. My 25 yard zero would carry me out to 100 yards with a little drop estimation. I started at 25 yards and moved to the 50-yard line and finally the 100-yard line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 25 yards, I started in the standing position and made my 4-inch gong spin around the beam over and over. The 6 and 8-inch gongs were mincemeat at this range, as you\u2019d imagine. I moved back to 50 yards, and while I could peg the 4-inch gong, I needed to be in a supportive kneeling position, and it was not a guaranteed hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"487\" title=\"Aero Precision EPC: The People's PCC\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/0804211716-scaled-e1628199683320-1024x487.jpg\" alt=\"Aero Precision EPC: The People's PCC\" class=\"wp-image-148964\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/0804211716-scaled-e1628199683320-1024x487.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/0804211716-scaled-e1628199683320-400x190.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/0804211716-scaled-e1628199683320-150x71.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/0804211716-scaled-e1628199683320-768x365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/0804211716-scaled-e1628199683320.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The EPC is the sum of its two receivers. You can build out a rifle, pistol, or whatever. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Those aforementioned 6 and 8-inch gongs rung and swung with ease. The Sparc\u2019s red dot helped a good bit, as does the EPC\u2019s crisp trigger. The gun easily lands headshots at this range, and even an amateur shooter can land accurate shots. My wife, who\u2019s still rather new to the world of firearms, was hitting the 8-inch gong at 50 yards routinely. The EPC has become her very favorite rifle, and I might lose it if I\u2019m not careful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">At the 100 Yard Line<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One hundred yards with a 9mm rifle is about the max the little round can reach out to. Rounds are dropping between 10 and 15 inches at this range. I used an IPSC steel target and aimed at what I could see of the head. There was a little guesswork involved, and I used a supportive position, but once I started hearing dings, I didn\u2019t stop hearing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"488\" title=\"Aero Precision EPC: The People's PCC\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/0804211715a-1024x488.jpg\" alt=\"Aero Precision EPC: The People's PCC\" class=\"wp-image-148965\" \/><figcaption>A standard bolt release makes it easy to reload. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Big targets help and are somewhat necessary. I think the EPC is nail-driving accurate, but the 9mm round isn\u2019t super stable at this range. While the weapon can be used at 100 yards, it dominates within 50 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here I produced tight groups and felt an extreme degree of confidence with the EPC at 50 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wrangling The EPC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/king-of-the-pccs-sigs-mpx-new-model-review\/?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"aero-precision-epc-the-peoples-pcc-review\" title=\"Aero Precision EPC: The People's PCC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Blowback PCCs<\/a> have a big weakness, and it\u2019s in recoil. Blowback PCCs in 9mm can often feel quite similar to a 5.56 rifle in the recoil department. The EPC doesn\u2019t escape this fate. Rearward recoil feels similar to a 5.56, but as a full-length carbine, the extra weight helps. I\u2019ve also tossed one of the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vg6precision.com\/muzzle-devices?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"aero-precision-epc-the-peoples-pcc-review\" title=\"Aero Precision EPC: The People's PCC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VG6 PCC<\/a> comps to help a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"488\" title=\"Aero Precision EPC: The People's PCC\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/0804211718a-1024x488.jpg\" alt=\"Aero Precision EPC: The People's PCC\" class=\"wp-image-148962\" \/><figcaption>Did I show you the magwell yet? Cause it&#8217;s quite large. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Muzzle rise and concussion are pleasant and easily controlled. The longer barrel does wonders to reduce concussion and makes the gun very pleasant to shoot. Aero\u2019s EPC makes it very easy for new shooters to feel comfortable behind a centerfire rifle. More experienced shooters can also enjoy a pleasant break from shooting standard rifles with the EPC and offers an affordable ammo alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Down and Dirty<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I brought a half dozen Glock 33 rounders and some KCI magazines, some Magpul mags, an ETS magazine, and an Amend2 magazine to the range in my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rangeoften.com\/range-backpack\/?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"aero-precision-epc-the-peoples-pcc-review\" title=\"Aero Precision EPC: The People's PCC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">range backpack<\/a>. I brought such a wide variety of magazines because when something says it takes Glock mags, I want to ensure it takes all Glock mags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"488\" title=\"Aero Precision EPC: The People's PCC\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/0804211718-1024x488.jpg\" alt=\"Aero Precision EPC: The People's PCC\" class=\"wp-image-148963\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I popped in one after another and fired drills, tested accuracy and the like, and did so without any issue from any magazines. The EPC functioned with each one without a fight, and everything from OEM to the cheap seats worked perfectly fine through the gun. The mags worked fine, engaged the LRBHO, and fed a greedy gun without complaint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the strongest arguments for blowback systems is their simple and reliable nature. That\u2019s on full display here. The gun eats and ejects every time I pull the trigger. A round of steel cased 9mm gave me a single issue. The round appeared to be seated too deeply into the case and didn\u2019t feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The People\u2019s PCC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The EPC from Aero Precision provides a great base to build the PCC you\u2019ve always wanted.
