After reading so many bad reviews but decided to give them a try. I am glad I did. The items were shipped the next business day and I was provided tracking. Parts arrived and were exactly as expected. Completed assembly and went to the range. Everything performed flawless with over 100 rounds.
I will buy from them again.
These guys are doing business under about 5 different names. That's not sketchy at all. I receive daily emails trying to solicit the purchase of full auto components. I emailed to inquire about an order with no response. Possibly because I inquired about the multiple names and affiliations. Everyone says the parts they produce suck anyway. Anything they have from a reputable company is probably ok, if the price is worth it. Otherwise, look elsewhere.
I received my complete Davidson Defense Arian, AR-15,5.56 upper receiver in unusable condition. The slots for the charging handle were cut wrong and won't fit in. The dust cover won't close as well. I finally received the AR upper after 3 weeks of waiting. I've tried numerous times by phone and help tickets with no response. It seems once they have your money it's over. I won't be purchasing any more items from this company.
Placed an order on 1 dec and my CC was immediately charged. 19 days later (and counting) I have not received the order and cannot even get them to answer the phone or respond to email asking what the status of my order is. This will be my last transaction with DD. If you are busy, I get it but don't take my money and then ignore me
So far so good. I really appreciate the fact that a representative from DD actually puts their direct company email out there for people to reach out to. We are looking forward to doing further business with their company and having good results!
Thanks Erik M!

I do not know why Davidson Defense gets bad review on this site. I ordered a Sideways AR 556 Upper and parts kit from them on May 4 and it was delivered by FedEx today, May 9. Everything arrived as it should, no complaints. I have not shot my AR yet, but they get 5* from on quick delivery and everything I order. Well packaged.
Ordered an AR 15 stock. After 3 business days no confirmation email, nothing at all. Not in spam folder either. I don't even know my order number. Made attempt to contact them during THERE business hours on live chat. Couldn't get a hold of anyone. Just did a charge back on my credit card on this. F this company will NEVER buy from them again.
So Far I have purchased 3 complete uppers with no complaints. I ordered an unbranded Lower parts kit again with no problems. I have no idea where all these complaints came from but one can't help but wonder how skilled the builders were to start with.
Incorrectly assembled a.458 SOCOM I ordered with a standard Upper Receiver.458 Requires an XL version with the larger ejection port. Reached out to them Three times to make it right with zero response.
I made an order comprising of 12 items on 3/23/23. I got the acknowledgment email soon after placing the order, but did not hear until or receive another email until a week later on 3/29/23 when it was shipped. I received the order on 3/31/23 in perfect condition. I was missing a foregrip that was on backorder, but it will be sent separately. For overselling this product, they offered me a discount on my next order.
Overall, I am happy with my experience here at DD. The products were new and tightly wrapped. The box was well protected and didn't go through a beating as others have when I have purchased through other gun/rifle stores.
I felt they went above and beyond with the discount code for having one of their product on back order. I would definitely do business with them again.
