Mitchell Defense is a no-brainer: The quality is impeccable and the customer service is like going back to a time when great service existed and people took pride in their products. I'll be ordering from them again at least one more time before the August 2026 semi-auto "ban" in Colorado.

Good people. Had some questions because I'm new to this kind of gun, and they took the time to explain things and make recommendations for accessories. If what you want isn't in stock, just keep checking, it'll probably be back in a day or 2. I saw my gun go in and out of stock a dozen times before I was finally ready to pull the trigger. Then it was out of stock. But it came back in the next day.

The DOC MD15 and Sand Cutter BCG's are awesome. The FDE finish is phenomenal. Got all the colors now! After the range, I'm sure I'll be driving tacks again, lime my DOC GWOT And the DOC SOIDC!!
