Finally here?! Daniel Defense Keymod

[Marler5811]

Should I assume that cerakoted versions will be in the pipeline eventually as well? How about some KeyMod control accessories from DD - I figure it's coming, just want to know how much of it is ready for us to ogle. Thanks j

Anything is possible. Our current Cerakote models have been quite popular.

That's like 11.6 oz. That's insanely light...

I weighed the DDM4 Rail 15.0 at 15.1 oz (just the rail system). The SLiM weighs in at 10.8 oz (just the handguard). 4.3 oz difference. It's CRAZY light!

Very cool, good to see another option.

I am curious, why not put Keymod on all sides except 12 o'clock? It seems one of the attractions to keymod is having it between the 3, 6, and 9 0'clock positions to increase the utility of space on the handguard.

We are using the same extrusion as our DDM4/AR15 Lite Rail III for the SLiM handguards. It just made sense to use material that we already have and it simply wouldn't allow for KeyMod in the offset positions.

I handled one at my lgs last week. I love the feel of it. I like it better than the BCM but I haven't felt the KAC so I can't comment on that one. It doesn't feel as slim as the BCM but it feels more ergonomic in my hands. Very light. Much more so than my M4V1. I really want to get one now. I might have to spring for the upper sometime before Christmas.

I understand how the product cycle will work for these - still really looking forward to some KeyMod furniture options as well.

I do not have any experience with the DDM4, and I'm sure it's tough as nails.

I admit that my opinion isn't based on any first-hand experience, but it doesn't appear to do anything better than the KMR.

Obviously, my opinion is subject to change following reviews/ personal use.

I handled a KMR the other day and it seemed VERY light/thin. In a world where people demand anti-rotation tabs on rails because of the torque some people may place on a VFG, I think that thin wall is going to have to pay the piper...

Soon. Probably in the next couple of months or so.

Happy to hear this. I will be in line for a 9 inch version.

The thin wall of what? The KMR?

It's thin. It's light. It's sexy. There is a piper to pay. I think in time we might see more evidence of that. Nothing is free.

I'm really digging this V11 LW setup after shooting it for a few days, and I'm still impressed at how light it feels whenever I pick it up. It's quickly becoming my favorite configuration, and I'm already wanting to get a second one...

Also; feeling how nice the 16" gun with 15" rail handles really makes me want a 14.5" version with a 12-13" SLiM rail. Shedding 4-5oz out front and getting it right at or under 6 pounds with a light BUIS like the Magpul MBUS would be slick.
