Is a Daniel Defense AR-15 Worth the Money? The DDM4 V7 Review

Hey James, great review. The steel QD sling swivel insert is designed to not tear out. Typical aluminum QD point can tear out after extended use. I particularly like Daniels defense QD sling swivel insert because it solves this problem in the most low profile/light way, without having steel permanently installed into the rail at varies points, going with the DD motto of lighter, better, stronger.

Yo james. Just got chin over the bar with 90 on the belt at 6’1” 205. Ur a PooC

Love mine

Loved this video

That part

“You’re gonna get GI trigger…and you’re gonna like it…because Mr. Defense, ain’t having it.”

Took me tf out 😂
I’m still about buying one, I’ll just put a binary on it. Just came here for some insight on the model for my 1st Own AR platform apart from the my military m4

I'm A Few Years Late To This Review After Watching A Full Auto Meltdown On A Daniel Defense M4 Upper.

It Went A Little Over 400 Rounds Before It Blew Up And Failed! Needless To Say, I Wasn't Impressed!

Iraqveteran8888 Did A Full Auto Meltdown On A Smith & Wesson M&P 15 Sport II And It Went 820 Rounds While Being On Fire For 5 Minutes, Due To Its Plastic Handguard.

It Took Way More Punishment Then The Daniel Defense And Cost One Third Of The DD Price! I Can Only Imagine How Many More Rounds It Would Have Went, If It Had A Metal Handguard Like The DD!

I'm Definitely Not A Fan Of These So Called Gucci Rifles Due To What Ive Witnessed Watching Meltdowns.

POF Is The Only Gucci I've Witnessed In A Meltdown Situation That Couldn't Be Stopped, The Rest Are No Better Than The Smith And Wesson!

I Don't Care About A Cold Hammer Forged Barrel And All Of The Whistle's And Bells Gucci Rifles Over Charge For!

What I Do Care About Is A Tough, Durable Rifle That Can Take Lots Of Punishment! Everyone Out These Rifles On A Pedestal, But What The Meltdown Proves Is That Lot's Gucci Rifles Can't Take As Much Punishment As Some Of The Well Built Mid Ranged Rifles From The Larger Firearm Manufacturers!

I'll Stick With Mid Ranged Budget Minded Quality Rifles. They'll Definitely Get The Job Done And Save Your Life In A Home Defense Or SHTF Situation! 👊🇺🇸👊

I've had my DDM4V5 for over 11 years now. Paid under $1500 for it back in the day. Would I ever get ride of it? Hell no.

Go shave your arms and legs pretty boy and say hello to your mom for me

Man i still wish these were $1800

Great review, makes my new purchase validated!

Bought my First DD- MK 18.
I’m a USMC Veteran. Wanted this for, you Know…Memories.
I’m Totally Happy!

What ammo do you recommend

I want one 👍

As a poor, it'd hard to watch you do this to things like that.

Price in Sweden as I am writing this is 3400 USD. For 1800 USD it is a bargain =D

Yeah I don’t get buying a ar for 1,500+ ruger and smith Wesson nice

They only last 700 rounds on a meltdown.

You are really good buddy thx

Can I build a similar gun with a PSA Lower?

Every time I watch your videos it’s like there is some social aspect underneath driving you. Just get to the facts MAN!

My ddm4v7 slw came at 3lbs out of the box, with sure fire light and full sized can eotech xps3 and g45mag it comes in under 5 lbs, a little heavier if I slap an lvpo and offset the eotech, either way nice stress test, I beat the shit out of mine on day one red hot can 5k rounds let’s say it was an expensive day 😂
