Product Description
Buy Daniel Defense MK18 Pistol FDE Online | Western Sport — DD Master Dealer
The Daniel Defense MK18 Pistol FDE is one of the most sought-after pistol-configuration ARs on the civilian market. Modeled directly after the USSOCOM MK18 CQBR (Close Quarters Battle Receiver), this 10.3-inch pistol brings military-grade performance to the civilian shooter in a compact, maneuverable platform.
Finished in Daniel Defense’s signature Flat Dark Earth Cerakote, the MK18 Pistol is as tough as it looks. The cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined 10.3-inch barrel delivers exceptional durability and accuracy. The Daniel Defense M4 RIS II rail — the same rail used by U.S. Special Operations Forces — provides a stable mounting platform for your preferred optic, light, and laser.
Every MK18 ships with a Daniel Defense pistol grip, Maxim Defense CQB pistol brace, ambidextrous safety selector, and the legendary Daniel Defense quality control that ensures every firearm functions flawlessly before leaving the factory.

Unfortunately, because of the wintery snow weather in my area, I’ve not been able to take my new pistol to the outdoor shooting range.
However, in spite of not shooting this pistol I have taken it apart to exam its composition. I can truly tell you that Daniel Defense puts together a high quality precision fire arm.
I’m very anxious to take it out to the range. Thank you Western Sport.
PS: I just hope the Government doesn’t screw up our ability to purchase ammunition for this type firearm.
