7 жыл бұрынShooting and discussing my new AR, the Daniel Defense DDM4 V7. Nope, this is not another one of the low-end AR15s like we've recently taken looks at. It's a bit pricy as compared with those; although still not at the highest end.

I have been a shooter/collector for 50yrs but because of stage 4 lung cancer I am unable to go out shooting so I rely on mr. Hickok 45 for giving the next best thing.thx. From the bottom of my heart.

Hey hickok, you might have already heard, but there a virtual reality game called "Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades". It's basically a virtual gun range.

@DocLarsen44 7 жыл бұрын
I love muzzle breaks, but only when they are on a firearm that it provides the functionality for which I would use the break: negate muzzle rise to allow faster follow-up shots. So recoil is only indirectly involved with my opinion of muzzle breaks; some may have other reasons for which a break is the best tool to use. I've got a .300 WinMag rifle, a 8mm Mauser, several 7.62x54mm rifles, and a couple of Garands; none of these has a muzzle break on it and I love shooting ever one of them. In my opinion an AR just doesn't require a break, but I do have breaks on my AKs. Although an SKS fires the same round as the AKs, I see a muzzle break as optional because of their weight. So a muzzle break, just like a fire arm, is a tool to be used where it is useful for one reason or another. On the powerful cartridges listed first, if you are recoil sensitive and this causes you to less accurate than you would otherwise be, then the use of the muzzle break would make perfect sense. I even have a muzzle break on one of my fighting pistols.

I always just go with black, but DD’s “Milspec+” bronze gun is definitely the sexiest AR-15 around for standard manufacturer.

Is this capable of firing 22 assault clips in half a second?

I met the people of DD for the first time today at The Great American Outdoor Show and they were just the nicest folks. I never would have considered an AR from them until now. The only problem is price...Can anybody explain why Daniel Defense's rifles are so worth the money?

They make damn near everything in house, they are one of only a few companies in the world to own and operate a cold hammer forging machine, and as the other comment said, their quality is at the top of the list. They are expensive, but you get what you pay dor

Thanks for having good audio. A lot of other channels have the speech so much quieter than the sound of the shooting that you have a choice of not hearing what they say, or being deafened & annoying your neighbors when the firing starts. That doesn't happen with you. thank you.

Sweet piece! I've never fired a high end AR. I had a Colt M-4 in the Army, I don't know what the M-16A1 I was assigned in basic was. I have a S&W M&P 15 Sport II that I picked up in July that feels really well built to me and is 100% with its first 90 rounds so far. It was expensive to me so a high end modle just wasn't an option for me. The one I wanted cost over $2k, lol. If I could swing it that baby would have been mine, so I think it's awesome you got the one you wanted.

Just bought my DDM4 V7 today, picking it up tomorrow. I am super excited for this purchase.

If you have the opportunity maybe you could cover alternative methods (other then safe) for securing firearms in the home? Maybe you might be aware of products that other folks have never seen, or maybe a different method folks have never considered?

Looked up the sort of gun the Uvalde killer used and this just really hurts my heart… it wasn’t the guns fault, it was the person behind the gun itself firing off .556 rounds (or whatever you call it, pardon me on my lack of knowledge on guns). I just cannot imagine the damage it did to those innocent children 😢. Makes me sick to my stomach…

Me, too. I taught young kids for 29 years, and it just rips your heart out to think about.

Maybe if the teachers were taught to carry and have access to this type of firearm- better than the “let’s wait LE gang” that showed up that horrible day.

Just bought one of these to go with my POF. Love my POF, and it will stay my go-to, but I wanted something top tier with a slim rail just because it feels so nice.

Just bought a DD MK12! Set me back 2.2K total!….NOT cheap… won’t be able to pay off all my credit card bill until June but really had my eyes on the 12 for a while now. It’s basically that DDM4 lower with a new upper and an 18 inch barrel. A bit heavy with the quad rails but love it… And the reason I bought it? The same as you. Previously, I already bought a S&W M&P-15. I love it! So accurate, reliable and can spit out everything from 55 grain to NATO M855 green tips. Still, I got my eyes on the 12 since I lay my eyes on it. Such a sexy sexy beast, so comfy and it just feel…feel so right! But mostly, it’s 18 inch barrel, and you can’t beat a DD barrel, with the 1/7 twist means I can shoot anything from 55 grain to 77 grain match grade rounds easy! It’s a bit heavier than my M&P but it’s worth it. Will it replace my M&P? No. I look at them as compliment to each other. One is a Toyota Camery, the other, after I drop 2K more on an ACOG, a good laser designator, MAGPUL grip, light, back up iron sights etc, it will be a Ferrari to end all Ferraris! It’ll be the centerpiece of my firearm collection! I’ll love both they’ll be different but they will be different uses but like you, I’ll love both!

Mr Hickok I love your videos I'm a little well a few years behind so I have plenty to catch up on. You and John do an awesome job with what you do can't wait for some more videos. I've always been a Glock guy from the start but you have broadened my interest a bit but I enjoy your videos a great deal and my 3 year old son does too. Life is good keep it up
