Mitchell Defense: Revolutionizing the Pistol Caliber Carbine with the Rat Dog PCC

Pistol Caliber Carbines (PCCs) have long been associated with unreliability, making them a less desirable option for many firearm enthusiasts and professionals. However, Mitchell Defense has transformed the PCC landscape with innovative advancements that significantly enhance reliability and performance. This article explores the groundbreaking improvements we’ve made to our Rat Dog PCC, setting a new standard for the industry.

Mitchell Defense: Pioneering PCC Reliability with the Rat Dog

Historically, the direct blowback system used in PCCs was a major contributor to their unreliability. This system often led to issues with feeding and cycling, especially when the firearm became dirty. However, Mitchell Defense saw an opportunity to innovate and improve upon this design with the Rat Dog PCC.

The Buffer System Spring

The introduction of the buffer system spring marked a turning point in PCC design. This spring significantly increased the reliability of PCCs by enhancing forward pressure, ensuring smoother operation even under adverse conditions. At Mitchell Defense, we recognized the potential of this innovation and committed to refining the design to meet our stringent standards for a Mitchell Defense rifle.

Advanced Coating for Enhanced Performance

One of the key improvements we made to the Rat Dog PCC was the application of the same advanced coating to the upper and the Bolt Carrier Group (BCG). This coating ensures that the rifle runs smoothly even when dirty, addressing one of the primary causes of PCC unreliability. Our Rat Dog PCCs are designed to perform reliably in real-world conditions, whether in the field or in the home.

Tactical and Civilian Applications of the Rat Dog PCC

When designing our Rat Dog PCC, we focused on real-world use cases to ensure that our firearms meet the needs of both law enforcement and civilian users.

Law Enforcement Use

For law enforcement, the ability to work in tight spaces and use the same magazines in both pistols and rifles (Glock mags) was a significant advantage. The compact size of our Short Barreled Rifles (SBRs), with 8.3-inch barrels, makes them ideal for indoor shooting up to 100 yards with high accuracy. This versatility and precision make our Rat Dog PCC an invaluable tool for law enforcement officers.

Civilian Use

For civilian use, home defense emerged as the primary application. To ensure our Rat Dog PCC could handle a variety of ammunition, we expanded the feed ramp to accommodate home defense ammo properly. This modification allows the rifle to run most home defense ammo with the same reliability as target ammo, providing peace of mind for homeowners.

Reliability and Accuracy Testing of the Rat Dog PCC

To validate the reliability of our Rat Dog PCC, we conducted extensive testing against other brands. Most competitors’ PCCs failed around 1,000 rounds, while our Rat Dog surpassed 8,000 rounds without issue. This exceptional performance underscores the reliability of our design.

Exceptional Accuracy

In terms of accuracy, the NRA recently tested our Rat Dog PCC with four different types of 9mm ammo. The results were impressive, with the rifle achieving 1 MOA accuracy at 100 yards with two of the ammo types. This level of accuracy is remarkable for a PCC with an 8.3-inch barrel and demonstrates the precision engineering that goes into our firearms.
