This is a pistol caliber carbine that is designed specifically with CZ Scorpion mags in mind. let&#8217;s dive into the details!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gun comes in a 16-inch variant (PCC916), with an 8-inch SBR option also available (PCCSBR). It&#8217;s a 9mm workhorse designed for reliability. The PCC uses standard Scorpion magazines (gen 1 or gen 2), the PCC also accommodates Magpul drum mags. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Scorpion magazines were chosen because they are reliable and affordable, usually available at around 15 &#8211; 20 dollars. Because this rifle was designed around these mags specifically, the PCC upper and lower are not interchangeable with standard AR15 uppers and lowers. The bolt is also unique and not interchangeable between the two platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"656\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_2204-1024x656.jpeg\" alt=\"A black rifle is mounted to a wall on display.\" class=\"wp-image-197929\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The PCC comes in both a 16&#8243; barreled option (pictured) as well as an 8&#8243; barreled SBR. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The PCC features a heavy mass, hydraulic bolt carrier group that provides a soft-shooting experience with this direct blowback firearm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-it-s-a-9mm-dd-delivers-its-first-handgun-daniel-h9-shot-show-2024\">SEE ALSO:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/its-a-9mm-dd-delivers-its-first-handgun-daniel-h9-shot-show-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"daniel-defense-builds-a-rifle-around-scorpion-mags-dd-pcc-shot-show-2024\" title=\"Daniel Defense Builds a Rifle Around Scorpion Mags: DD PCC -- SHOT Show 2024\"> It\u2019s A 9mm!

The bolt catch is reinforced to prevent shearing, ensuring the gun runs reliably even during extended shooting sessions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The receiver set stands out with its sleek and unique design, featuring mirrored controls for added convenience and an overall length that is about 5\/8&#8243; shorter than the standard AR15 receiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_2206-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"The PCC is displayed on the wall and resembles an AR15.\" class=\"wp-image-197930\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This is the 8&#8243; barreled PCC SBR, basically the same as its big brother, but smaller.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Daniel Defense PCC aims to offer the rugged reliability that users have come to expect from the brand.
