The Daniel Defense DD5P 7.62×51mm NATO pistol is a rugged, compact AR-style platform built to deliver full-power performance in a maneuverable form factor. It features a cold-hammer-forged “S2W” barrel, approximately 12.25″ in length, with a 1:10″ twist rate, delivering the strength and accuracy expected of a larger rifle, while the chrome-lined barrel and heavy profile contribute to longevity and consistent performance under recoil and sustained use. The 10.5″ free-floating M-LOK handguard offers ample real estate for optics, lights, or other tactical accessories, without compromising balance or handling. Internally the DD5P uses a direct-impingement, mid-length gas system with an adjustable gas block, giving reliable cycling whether shooting suppressed or unsuppressed. The bolt/carrier group is treated for durability and smooth cycling, and the lower/upper receivers are machined from hardened aluminum for strength without excessive weight. Ergonomically, the DD5P is built for versatility: ambidextrous controls and an enhanced trigger set give responsive control, while the stainless-steel and black finish combine durability with a modern tactical aesthetic. With an unloaded weight around 8.1 lbs (depending on configuration) and overall length in the low-30″ range (with typical muzzle devices and brace/stock options), this pistol is a serious 7.62 platform optimized for portability, modularity, and dependable performance.
