Stopped by today and was thrilled with the service myself and my friend were provided with. We were greeted by Ryan who was extremely knowledgeable, courteous, professional, and most of all HONEST. He was not pushy, and he answered the multitude of questions we had with honesty and integrity. DLD is truly a gem in the firearms industry, and it’s a fantastic feeling supporting an American business owned and operated by those that serve(d) in the military and public safety. Once you go Delta, you never go back. Best “Other Firearm” in the industry, period.
I just put in a order for an other and the guy that handled the transaction was very nice made me feel at home and was very informed. Great customer service and I cant wait to try out my other once its complete.
Brought a pistol from them right after I got my license. The sales people were friendly and very efficient. Great place to shop for what you are looking for. No complaints with the service.
Ryan and the team at delta level defense are building some of the best rifles if not the best on the market. I am very satisfied with the 9mm purchase I made and when I had questions, they were very informative and knowledgeable and helped me make sound decisions. Will definitely be buying more from them, I suggest you do the same if you want top notch quality thatll last a lifetime
You get what you pay for. This is true with Delta Level Defense but in my case, I have gotten what Ive paid for AND MORE. The level of service seems unmatched. As a first time customer, I have been blown away by the quality of the products they are putting out while still being able to maintain consistent communication with the customer. Very impressive. You can build yourself a cheaper gun and, in the end, thats what youd you have. If you want a premium firearm built to last, DLD is the way to go. I couldnt be happier. Looking forward to future business.
Bought my first rifle from DLD. Extremely high quality. I had a ton of questions and was still made to feel welcome. Cannot recommend them enough.
Ryan, and his team are the best around. Purchased a CT4-2A with trigger upgrade and adjustable brace. The quality and customer service are unmatched. Quick and professional response to all my emails and phone calls. Thank you Ryan and crew.
Quality Respect and SECOND to None,these guys know there trade,they walk the talk,with no BS, Rifle is outstanding and well worth the wait for the experience they bring to the table.Rayan and Chis took good care of all my needs and concerns, and do business with a VETERAN owned business, is an honor, GOD BLESS,THE CREW AT DELTA LEVEL DEFENSE 👍
Delta Level Defense is top notch. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone for not only their products but their services. Let me just start by saying any low reviews on them must 100% be from competitors, because none of them make any sense. They dont match the experiences I have had nor experiences of the several others I have referred to DLD. There are three words that come to mind when I think of this place:-Perfectionists-Professionalism-HonestyI have gone to Ryan and his teams for repairs and for a custom build. They are not satisfied until the job is done to exactly what you want and exactly at their high standards. Their builds are meticulous. Ryan knows exactly what you should put into a build for the results you want and Tommy does an amazing job putting it all together. His Cerakote jobs are mind blowing too.They do not up-sell you. They are honest on what you need and if there is something better you should be doing, they will explain why they would spend X amount more for a certain part, while allowing the customer to make the decision. Additionally, if you want something done that is not needed, while it will make them more money, they will advise against it.With the professionalism, they also have a lot of patience, keep in touch about the progress of the build and answer every single question you have (dumb or complex).Lastly, when the job is done, they take the time to go through the entire build with you. They show you how to use it, how to clean and care for it and they are there for any questions even after you walk out the door.I will certainly be going back for more builds. I would highly recommend anyone go to them for ALL of their defense needs.
I couldn’t possibly say enough good in one post about my experience with these guys. Their customer service is top notch. I’ve spoken to Ryan multiple times on the phone. He was always more than happy to answer any questions I had and make honest suggestions. The rifle I purchased from them is top quality craftsmanship and has runs flawlessly. I would purchase another from them with zero hesitation. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend this company to anyone and everyone.
Best around, hands down. Ryan and team are first class, and are always willing to answer a question. Their builds are world class. I recently purchased a firearm from them, and went back to have a second done in Cerakote. Both were done with the highest quality. Highly recommend.
To me customer service is as important as the quality of the work. These guys are great! They reply in a timely manner and they keep to their commitments. I needed a small repair and it was completed quickly, perfectly and at a reasonable cost. There is no other place I would go for any of the services they offer.
Great bunch of guys here Tommy,Ryan and Corey are serious about what they do,very knowledgeable. These guys are honest from the start with you and build a quality product just go down and see for yourself. You cant go wrong with this place I am more that happy. If your gonna get cerakoting done, Tommy is phenomenal........most of all there just good people at this place.
Ryan is truly a professional. He’s awesome at what he does. Very pro LE. He’s not only courteous, but he’s very informative and to top it all off, a true patriot. A true friend of the gun community. If you’re looking for outstanding firearms, or a great FFL, look no further...
Superb quality weapons and excellent customer service. I can attest to these guys down to earth attitude when dealing with casual gun owners such as myself.
I drove across the state to have a custom build done with Ryan, and it was definitely worth the multiple trips. He is professional, knowledgeable and helpful, as he will make solid recommendations based on his experience without being pushy. Asking questions was never an issue, and responses were prompt and thorough. If you want to invest to get a top notch result, then Ryan and his team are the way to go.
If youre looking for an exceptional firearm go see the pros at DLD! Bryan aka The Gunfather and his crew are so knowledgeable, and they make you feel like family! My husband had them build a custom 556 #other for my birthday in December and its damn amazing...a piece that everyone turns to look at when I pull it out at the range!!
Great place to buy from. I wanted to make a change to my rifle. Ryan told me to come back the same day and took the time to help me out. Ryan and his help are very friendly and easy to work with. I would recommend these guys to anyone looking to buy a new firearm or to have work done on an exsisting firearm. Well worth the hour drive.
I brought an AR15 from them I have several guns Id have to say that this is one of the best guns I ever bought it looks amazing it fires amazing customer service is absolute 100% I highly recommend them
Ive hung out at stores where Ive helped the staff answer questions for customers. The guys at Delta Level Defense know the anatomy and physiology of firearms inside and out. Im very impressed with their work and expertise. When looking for a new build this is the very first place I recommend.
Delta Level Defense is a high level company that creates, modifies, and develops nothing short of the highest quality of firearms. Ryan has built and modified more then just a few rifles and pistols for me, and every time I was astounded by the the level of experience, quality, and knowledge I received. One thing that stands out about DLD and Ryan that you wont get anywhere else (besides the quality) is a hands on and involved experience shopping to ensure you get nothing but perfection. You wont be disappointed in your product, and youll have total confidence in the dependability and durability of your new or improved weapons system.
Great experience with Ryan and the crew at Delta Level Defense. Having just moved back to CT recently, options for certain types of firearms are very limited, to say the least. I stopped by their shop after checking out their website and reviews to see about having them build something to meet my needs. My experience with DLD was overwhelmingly positive. I’m not exceptionally experienced in firearm knowledge and Ryan was outstanding and patient in answering all my questions and sharing his knowledge and assisting with recommendations. The quality is EXCELLENT and they stand behind their products. My build was completed a few days prior to the promised completion date. So far, I have put about 1,000 rounds through my firearm - ran it clean, ran it dirty, ran it fast, ran it hot. Zero issues of any kind. I had a minor issue with a non-DLD accessory and Ryan and the crew were happy to take care of the issue right away. Check these guys out. Worth your time.
I am nothing but impressed with DLD. At every step of the process I received outstanding service and a can do attitude from the whole DLD crew. The result was an impeccable firearm and a very strong opinion of DLD. At multiple times throughout the build process I requested changes in configuration to which Ryan happily obliged. My CT4-2A is among the finest quality firearms Ive had the pleasure of shooting. Thank you DLD!
I met Ryan the owner of Delta Level Defense in the summer of 2019 when I was in the market for a new gun. I couldn’t justify going to a gun store and spending $1600 on a gun to only take it a part and modify it with the parts and design to my liking. That’s when I heard about Delta Level Defense from a good friend of mine who is retired from law enforcement and he told me about DLD and the amazing work that they did for him. I looked them up on their website and I have to say at first I was a little intimidated by the shop and the high level of work that they do and thought why would they want to build a gun for me? I figured let me reach out to them and ask if they would build a custom gun for me and the worst they could say is no? So I called the shop and I left a message and thought I would never hear back from them. But I was so wrong because about a day maybe two days later I got a call from Ryan the owner and we spoke about what I was looking for and he told me that he would definitely like to build a gun for me and to stop by the shop so we could go over it and make sure that I got what I wanted!I met with Ryan discussed what I wanted and I have to say that Ryan is very passionate about what he does and he takes the time to talk to you and educate you about firearms and is truly a gentleman as well. We dove into the build and I even made some changes/upgrades along the way and it wasn’t a problem Ryan took care of me the whole way through!When it was finished I picked it up along with my jaw that was on the ground because DLD nailed it and I couldn’t wait to get it out to the range! To anyone that is reading this review believe me when I tell you that this gun is by far the best gun I’ve ever owned I can’t express enough how amazing it is! I loved it so much that I had him build me another one for my wife for her birthday/Christmas present and she loves hers just as much!! We took it out and shot it a few weeks ago and yet again the crew at Delta Level Defense have done it again and built me, well my wife another amazing, beautiful, smooth, accurate, dependable and just down right sexy looking gun that shoots so smooth and is so comfortable in your hands the only way to show you how good it is, is to put it in your hands and have you shoot it yourself and you will know what I am talking about! If you are in the market for a new gun and not some store bought overpriced product that they just want to sell you and get you out the door and forget about you. Then go see Ryan and the crew at Delta Level Defense and let them build your next gun that is to your liking and design and you will be happy that you did because there is nothing better than having your own design built for you and not have to buy a new gun only to rip it a part and spend more money to make it into exactly what you want. Just do it right and do it once and if you are not happy with it they will buy it back from you for the price you paid for it! Tell me how many other places will do that? NONE that’s how many!! That’s why I go to Delta Level Defense and that is why I have another gun build on the way with them in the next few months! When you are ready to step up to the Ferrari of gun manufacturers then go to DLD and let them build you your own Ferrari of guns!!
I’ve Dealt with Ryan and the boys of DLD for almost 6 years now and It’s been nothing but a fantastic experience every time. To see a negative review written about DLD is not only false but it’s impossible for me to believe. 2 days ago I picked up my 300 win mag and I couldn’t be more in awe of the quality, craftsmanship, and the attention to detail. This bolt gun is the 6 firearm I’ve had Ryan build for me. I trust know one else with completing a task to this caliber other than Ryan and DLD. They deal directly with the Military and LEO on both the state and federal levels. There’s a level of trust with DLD that is unmatched and there resume proves that time and again.
Outstanding customer service and dedication to the industry! Highly recommend!
Incredible customer service and an even better group of guys. Their gunsmithing is unmatched in the industry and I highly recommend doing business with DLD. I recently purchased their custom build in 5.56 and .308 and could not be happier. Looking forward to being a lifelong customer!
These guys are the real deal! They just built a custom 6.5 Creedmoor for me and I couldn’t. Be happier! If you are looking for a custom gun these guys are the company for you!
Bought my first rifle with these guys, and I’m honestly in love! Couldn’t have asked for anything better.
Good afternoon Ryan,John T here, I had you build me a CT4-2A back in the beginning of May. I asked for t 16” barrel length because the setup for this firearm was going to be 3-Gun Competition. Well now that I have had the DLD firearm for a bit and been able to send many rounds downrange and run a few competitions I wanted to provide some feedback. It’s pretty simple this rifle (sorry ‘Other’) is absolutely outstanding! Running with an entry level glass this thing is spot-on at any range, the fit-up on the upper and lower is supper tight, the arm guard is light and the balance is perfect. The Delta Level Defense is superior to all the major manufactures, I have used POF, Daniel Defense, Troy as well as many other brands and this beats them all.I think I mentioned to you my son is with 7th Group, ODA in FL, they just won the Best ODA Competition. My son is an 18B and incredibly good with this type of firearm, he always arranges some training that I can jump into with his guys when I go for a visit, I can’t wait until they get a chance to run my DLD CT4.Thanks for the excellent build,John T
You will never find anyone more knowledgeable or professional than the guys at DLD. I have dealt with Ryan personally when buying a gun as a gift. He & the rest of the team went above and beyond getting it to me on time. DLD is the only place I would go.
Best gunsmiths in CT. Refuse to take my ARs or pistols anywhere else if they need to have a look. Ryan and his team built me an 8.5in 300 blackout SBR and they also gave me a full size 5.56 upper for my standard AR and both have performed phenomenal for the most part. Just in the past few months I have taken a 4 point buck and a 200 plus pound wild boar with their 300 blackout build. A couple of minor hiccups have occurred but mostly all of these were caused by overshooting/not cleaning the rifles enough on my part or was something to do with the old pre ban lowers that we in CT are unfortunately stuck with (the pre bans were purchased at other gun stores not DLD). The few times these hiccups did occur Ryan and team quickly diagnosed and fixed the issue at minimal cost. Ryan and his team take great pride in their work and they do not mess around/cut any corners. If youre serious about your guns and want top notch repair/customization done this should be the top place on your list.
Great guys that build great guns. If you need a custom build, any work done, or just an FFL transfer, Delta Level Defense is the place to go!
Ryan underpromised and overdelivered...He was specific that, given his wait for some new components, he could not give a solid build date for my order. Ultimately he completed my order at the absolute earliest, optimistic time he estimated.The final product was perfect...everything I had hoped for and then some. At delivery I was given plenty of opportunity to ask questions, and received some good bits of advice.The only thing I could gripe about was that the build estimate did not include the cost of my choice of foregrip, something that was required to fit the spec of the other firearm I purchased.That said, I would definitely recommend DLD to anyone looking for a built to order AR platform.
Ryan is a great guy that goes out of his way to help clients
I was in a really tough spot where I needed parts that were back ordered by several months to be installed on my rifle within about 24 hours. Somehow DLD got me the parts I needed, shipped, delivered, and installed with unmatched precision all within the time frame I asked. To top it off, they charged me 85% less than a competing gunsmith two towns over who shrugged their shoulders and said they would try but wouldnt make any guarantees. On top of the gunsmith work, their rifles are unmatched in the industry. I am currently selling several of my high end rifles and going exclusively DLD after my friend with a beard and much cooler job than I have attested to their quality from overseas experience. 5+ stars out of 5 all day. Highest quality on the market, products made by guys with the real world experience and smithing experience to get it done, and backed by a genuine loyalty to men and women who serve. Look no further.
These guys know exactly what their doing and a always looking to guide you in the right direction on any modifications or updagrades to any of your weapons.
90 % Of Customer service starts over the phone, called this place this morning to retrieve some information with the interest to purchase a few items and the person who answered the phone was basically hurrying me off the phone because he was building a “rifle “
