Design and construction

The AA-0940 uses a 7075-T6 aluminum monolithic upper receiver assembly for straight-line rigidity and improved alignment of rail-mounted optics and accessories. The non-reciprocating ambidextrous forward charging handle allows fast bolt manipulation without interfering with mounted sights. The 3-lug muzzle device gives users a reliable anchor point for muzzle devices or direct-thread suppressor mounts when paired with the appropriate adapter.

Performance and handling

Roller-delayed blowback and trigger

Roller-delayed blowback smooths felt recoil and reduces bolt velocity compared with simple blowback designs. Combined with the Rave PCC trigger, shooters experience consistent resets and better follow-up shot timing—valuable for competition or defensive drills.

Controls and magazines

Ambidextrous ergonomics and a manual safety make the AA-0940 accessible for left- and right-handed shooters. The last-round bolt hold open improves reload timing and immediate diagnosis of an empty magazine. Supplying two 33-round Glock magazines offers high capacity out of the box for extended sessions between reloads.

Caliber 9mm remains one of the most practical choices for PCC platforms: affordable, widely available, and easier to manage for rapid strings of fire compared with larger calibers. The 6″ barrel balances velocity and compact handling for close-quarters applications.

Price is listed at $1900.99—positioning the AA-0940 as a premium, factory-built option for users who want advanced internals and a purpose-designed PCC chassis. View product details and pricing
