The Daniel Defense DDM4 PDW in .300 Blackout is a compact, American-made Short Barrel Rifle (SBR) engineered for maneuverability in tight quarters. It combines the portability of a sub-21-inch platform with the ballistics of a rifle, making it a popular choice for home defense and vehicle carry.
Core Performance Features
- 7-inch Cold Hammer Forged Barrel: Designed with a 1:7 twist rate, this barrel is optimized to stabilize both subsonic and supersonic .300 Blackout loads. The chrome-moly vanadium steel is chrome-lined for durability.
- Linear Compensator: This muzzle device directs blast and sound forward, away from the shooter, which improves comfort during fire, especially in enclosed spaces.
- Maxim Defense CQB Gen 7 Stock: An ultra-compact, four-position adjustable stock that allows the SBR to collapse to a minimum length of 21 inches for easy storage in a backpack.
- GRIP-N-RIP Charging Handle: An independently ambidextrous handle designed with gas-busting features to redirect gas flow away from the shooter's face when using a suppressor.
Construction and Ergonomics
- Receivers: Both the upper and lower receivers are CNC-machined from 7075-T6 aluminum with a Type III hard-coat anodized finish.
- MFR XL 6.0 Handguard: Features M-LOK attachment points for lights and optics, plus an SLR M-LOK MOD2 handstop to ensure safe hand placement away from the muzzle.
- Enhanced Controls: Includes a flared magazine well for faster reloads and a rubberized, overmolded pistol grip with an integrated trigger guard for a more vertical, comfortable wrist angle.
