Daniel Defense Pistol 7.62 12.5" 20-Round Pistol

The Daniel Defense Pistol 7.62 12.5" 20-Round Pistol is a short-stroke piston-driven platform engineered for operators who demand precision and reliability in a compact, maneuverable package. Built on Daniel Defense's proven AR-platform architecture, this 7.62 NATO pistol excels in close-quarters environments, vehicle operations, and tactical deployments where a full-length rifle is impractical.

The 12.5" barrel delivers effective velocity for the round while maintaining the ergonomic advantages of a pistol-length platform that professional end-users—law enforcement tactical teams, military special operations, and civilian defensive shooters—have come to trust. This pistol features Daniel Defense's signature MFR (Modular Free-Floating Rail) system, providing a rigid mounting platform for optics, lights, and accessories without inducing barrel harmonics.

Operators leveraging this platform benefit from the modular design and durable construction, ensuring reliability across extended training cycles and operational deployment. The short-stroke gas piston design cycles reliably across a broad range of 7.62 NATO ammunition, minimizing bolt carrier tilt and extending component longevity compared to direct-impingement systems.
