Italian craftsmanship meets the AR platform.
ADC (Armi Dallera Custom) is an Italian boutique firearms manufacturer based in Brescia — Italy's gunmaking capital — specializing in high-end AR-platform rifles and pistol-caliber carbines for sport shooting.
The AR9 takes the familiar AR-15 ergonomics and chambers them in 9mm, giving you the manual of arms of an AR with the soft recoil and lower cost of pistol ammunition.
PCCs (pistol-caliber carbines) are the fastest-growing segment in competitive shooting. Why? Because soft recoil + AR ergonomics + cheap 9mm ammo = the ultimate fun gun. It's also remarkably accurate — many shooters get tighter groups with a 9mm carbine than with their handgun.
The Brescia tradition.
Italian firearms from the Brescia region (Beretta, Tanfoglio, Fabarm, ADC, Pedersoli) account for a significant share of all civilian firearms produced in Europe — a tradition stretching back over 500 years.
ADC represents the boutique end of that tradition: small-batch, hand-finished, purpose-built for competition. This isn't a mass-market rifle. It's a craftsman's interpretation of a platform that millions of shooters already love.
