Im a little PCC tired, especially the AR based versions. Dont get me wrong, Im a huge SMG guy and I do like AR9s but a 16" 9mm has me scratching my head for role to fit it in and a $2K DD has me scratching more.

A pistol version or a SBRd one is a waaay better fit for a "I want to be a SMG" gun.

If its a gun you want for gaming and the manufacturer gives you cool factor points then by all means; but I just dont get the package otherwise.

I run SMGs and yes semi only in pistol size "SMGs" as SMGs. In their role theres little else thats better
My $0.02

I'm a DD fan, got three of them so I was seriously debating on this DD PCC against the Springfield KUNA to add to my collection. Now I imagine, based on owning 3 of their other guns, that this is a great weapon. But I'm telling you, I'm happy with my cheaper version KUNA. My current favorite gun, and best buy of 2025. No regerts!!!

The DD PCC offers a range of barrel lengths to fit within any length restrictions (state/local) and the unfortunate remaining NFA registration requirement.

One gets the most performance from HOT 147s in a 16, but IMO a 10-12" length would be optimum for them.

And, as per the articles if you want to retain an AR-type control system (muscle-memory) the DD would have minimal transition issues.

I stuck with that approach with my primary PCC of another brand.

The DD seem like great choice for those with premium tastes and willing to pay the price. Like their choice of going with Scorpion mags. I just got the 8.5" 9mm Saint Victor.

I had one and they are nice but decided to get rid of it.
Reasons? Well shooting suppressed it sucked. A lot of Gas to the face then more recoil due to blowback design. At that price point? No thanks. For roughly the same price you can get into a Nexus Roller Delayed using the same Cz mags or HK variant. A little more coin and you can get into a real HK. Parts and magazines are abundant.
Don’t get me wrong I love DD rifles ; I own 4 of them. It’s just a premium price for a blowback design. Sure you get more barrel length options ; I just don’t see the added value there.
