Aero Precision PCC / EPC released today
- Thread starter Biggie1976
- Start date
I got one of the complete uppers headed my way. They said in a few weeks they would release complete lowers. If I can get a receiver set I will have no need for the stripped upper
I just don't understand the appeal of pistol caliber options in the AR platform. I'm sure it will be good like all aero products but not really seeing the benefit here
They are just fun guns to be honest. That's how I view them,
Imo, the benefit is in using the same weapon in IDPA PCC stages - running a familiar weapon through complex stages to get training reps in.
And we can use 9mm ammo to feed our ARs instead of the golden 5.56
9mm just about the same price as 556 nowadays at .80-.90 a popImo, the benefit is in using the same weapon in IDPA PCC stages - running a familiar weapon through complex stages to get training reps in.

They're giving one away with a Deadair Wolfman.

And it’s serial number 2
Fun factor is through the roof, PCC matches are great, relatively cheap to shoot, you get to shoot steel at pistol distances with a rifle, easier/potentially safer to teach kids with, the list goes on. They aren't super practical, but not everything has to be.
I snagged a receiver set. I've always wanted some form of 9mm AR and this receiver set is my ticket in... Supposed to get some sort of free item if it was within the first 1k. Guess I need to invest in 9mm reloading now... SPP gonna bankrupt me.
well, back in my day, 9mm ammo was a fraction of the price of 5.56 hahaha
Cool design, kinda dig it. Controls of what your used to is a plus. Tempted to build one, but my Scorpion checks a lot of boxes as is.
Wondering how the PCC receiver fits this definition? Or do you mean running the same type of gun with controls in the same place as your 5.56 carbine?

Shoot steel at 10ft
Run subsonic
(Big difference when suppressed)
Cheaper (normally)
More realistic recoil that 22lr
Subsonic 9mm designed to expand compared to 300blk subs
Will do. Just ordered the 5.5" barrel and LPK this morning. I'm a bit undecided on what exactly I want though. Maybe a bit impractical but I love the look of a suppressor nested partially inside the handguard. When the barrel arrives I'll mock up my Octane 9 and see what HG I want to go with. The SBPDW brace looks nice but spendy.... Going that route is $100 over a cheaper brace and half way to an SBR stamp, so I have decisions to make.

You guys are quick. Ive got one of the lowers sitting patiently in line to be built. I'll probably go with a spartan side charge and CMMG RDB setup. You guys going straight blowback?
I was lucky to land one from the opening-day release. Submitted a Form 1 the day I picked everything up from my FFL (receiver set, barrel, LPK, etc...). After a 30-day wait for e-forms, it currently sits as a 5.5" SBR underneath a 7" handguard. I have a Rugged Obsidian 9 sitting in NFA jail that will eventually live its life mated to a 3-lug adapter on the EPC-9. For now, it looks like this (Griffin Armament posing under the handguard for perspective).
