The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7P is an AR-pattern pistol with a 10.3-inch cold hammer-forged barrel chambered in 5.56 NATO, which also takes .223 Remington. It is 27.75 inches long, weighs 5.1 pounds, has a 1/2x28 threaded muzzle and a continuous top rail for optics. The MFR 9.0 M-LOK handguard carries lights and grips without adding bulk, the safety is the standard AR lever, and one 30-round magazine is supplied.

In New Jersey this is a range gun first, and its layout suits a short carbine course or a home-defense role where a 27.75-inch package matters. The cold hammer-forged barrel and M-LOK handguard are the same style of parts Daniel Defense builds into its rifles, so the pistol is set up for an optic, a light and a muzzle device from day one. Check the included 30-round magazine against the rules that apply where you live before ordering, and expect the handgun permit process at purchase.
