Incorporated in 2001, Daniel Defense was founded out of a deep passion for shooting and Marty Daniel’s belief that he could craft a superior AR-15. What began with a few flattop AR-15 uppers, including the Big Hole Upper, and a simple sling loop, quickly evolved into a reputable firearms manufacturer. Daniel Defense gained early recognition by securing a USSOCOM contract for its innovative Rail Interface System II (RIS II), used by elite military forces.
Today, Daniel Defense is a global leader in the production of high-end modern sporting rifles (MSRs), pistols, and suppressors. Their extensive lineup of AR-15 rifles and AR-style pistols are meticulously designed for a variety of applications, including home defense, 3-gun competitions, and hunting. Daniel Defense is renowned for integrating cutting-edge technology and high-performance materials in their firearms, appealing to both military operators and civilian shooters alike.
The company’s firearms, particularly their Daniel Defense DDM4 and MK18 models, are highly sought after for their durability, accuracy, and reliability. Additionally, Daniel Defense has expanded its offerings to include suppressors, enhancing the shooting experience by reducing noise and recoil.
Whether you're in the market for a top-tier AR-15 rifle, a precision-engineered pistol, or a high-quality suppressor, Daniel Defense's commitment to craftsmanship and performance ensures you’re investing in a firearm built to excel under the most demanding conditions.
