The Daniel Defense GL/SSC Pistol brings one of the most sought-after special operations-inspired configurations to the commercial market. Built around a 12.5-inch cold hammer forged barrel and Daniel Defense's proven RIS II platform, this pistol delivers exceptional reliability, durability, and accuracy in a compact package. Originally known for its rarity and military heritage, the GL/SSC combines authentic styling with modern performance enhancements for serious shooters.
A standout feature is the Free-Floating GL/SSC RIS II rail system, which incorporates the iconic integrated hanger system used for M203 compatibility while maintaining true free-float barrel performance. This design preserves barrel harmonics for enhanced accuracy while providing extensive Picatinny rail space for optics, lights, lasers, and other mission-specific accessories.
The barrel assembly is finished with a Mil-Spec Heavy Phosphate Coating, providing superior corrosion resistance and long-term durability in harsh environments. Combined with chrome lining and cold hammer forging, this finish helps ensure reliable performance under demanding conditions while extending service life.
At the muzzle, the pistol features a factory-installed Daniel Defense A2 Flash Hider, designed to reduce visible muzzle flash without adding unnecessary weight or bulk. The standard 1/2x28 threading also allows compatibility with a wide variety of suppressors and muzzle devices.
Additional features include a chrome-lined government-profile barrel, carbine-length gas system, suppressor compatibility, Daniel Defense magazine, and a rugged Daniel Defense full-latch impact-resistant hard case.
