Daniel Defense has a solid reputation as a manufacturer of top-tier AR-style rifles, so the firm’s recent introduction of a pistol-caliber carbine (PCC) was no surprise.

Before we answer that question, note that the Daniel Defense PCC was introduced in three versions, all chambered in 9 mm: the SBR with an 8.3-inch barrel, the large-format pistol with an 8.3-inch barrel and a brace and the PCC 916 carbine with a 16-inch barrel. We chose to test the 916 because it…
