Daniel Defense DDM4 GL/SSC Pistol, 5.56 NATO, 12.5″ Barrel, FDE, No Magazine

Product Description

The Daniel Defense DDM4 GL/SSC, part 02-088-00385-067, is a pistol as configured by Daniel Defense in 5.56mm NATO, built on a 12.5-inch Government profile barrel with the free-floating GL/SSC RIS II 11.5 rail in Flat Dark Earth, and supplied without a magazine.

The only difference from the standard part number is that no magazine is packed with it. Daniel Defense builds the configuration for customers whose jurisdictions regulate capacity, where the local dealer fits a compliant magazine instead. Order the standard DDM4 GL/SSC pistol instead if you do not need it. Limits vary by state and by city or county and do change, so check what currently applies in your jurisdiction. Call 817-393-4000 for help sourcing a compliant magazine, or see our magazine selection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does GL/SSC stand for?

A: Grenade Launcher / Sound Suppressor Capable. The GL/SSC RIS II rail integrates all of the M203 mounting components directly into the rail itself, without additional parts or special tools, and the free-float hanger system keeps that capability alongside compatibility with suppressors.

Q: Why does this GL/SSC arrive without a magazine?

A: Daniel Defense assigns a separate part number for the no-magazine build so the firearm can reach buyers in jurisdictions that regulate magazine capacity, where a dealer supplies a compliant magazine locally. The pistol itself is identical to the standard configuration in every respect.

Q: What is the Timney AXCESS fire control group?

A: It is the trigger group Daniel Defense fits to this part number in place of a mil-spec unit. If you want to know how it feels before committing, call 817-393-4000 and we can talk through it, or come to the counter in Roanoke and handle one.

Q: Does the free-float rail affect accuracy?

A: The GL/SSC RIS II is a free-float design, so the handguard and anything mounted to it do not bear on the barrel. That keeps barrel harmonics undisturbed while still giving real estate for accessories, which is the point of a free-float hanger system.

Q: What magazines does the GL/SSC pistol take?

A: It is an AR-15/M16 pattern firearm, so magazines for that pattern apply, with capacity governed by your own state and locality. Confirm the current rules where you live before ordering, then call 817-393-4000 and we will match a compliant magazine to it.

Q: Is it a pistol or a short-barrelled rifle?

A: Daniel Defense configures and sells this part number as a pistol, and that is how we list it. We give no legal advice about braces and none about reconfiguring the firearm. It is serialized and transfers through a licensed FFL; Western Sport is licensed.
