Anything new on the release date of dt mdr. Anyone hear anything?
If it is ready by Festivus 2018, I will be surprised...
I was thinking or hoping this mdr was going to be released by now . I've enjoyed the srs . I'm staying on the pre ordered list even if it's next year ect.
I fondled one at TRIGGRCON this past weekend. The rep said it was a final production build. Felt compact and solid. I was worried the hanguard being made of polymer would flex but it didn't. Must be made of some sort of glass-polymer composite. Same material on the rest of it. Hard to explain but material felt like the gen1 PMag. Length of pull and overall feel worked for me. Only gripe I had was the trigger. It was a "Long" two-stage with no dicernable wall at the second stage. Reset was decent but not as good as either the Elftmann 3gun or Rise RA-535 AR triggers. I was told DT maybe working on single-stage trigger for it. If they can make the trigger pull like the SRS they'd have my money for sure. Otherwise, I think I'll wait a while.
It's real!
Did you see it at the show or at the Range Day at Cascade? I didn't know about the Range Day and got skunked on shooting that day. I looked around on my drive through but didn't stop, if the MDR was there I may have stopped out of curiosity.
I first saw the MDR at SHOT 2015. I had a deposit on one for 6-8 months but wisely gave up. The fact they brought in "talent" from SIG to try and finish the project pretty much killed it for me.
Not to rain on the parade, but they have ONE, one that was hand delivered. They did mention they have tons on back-order though, so once the pre-orders are filled, then they may actually get some in.

Their unit is preproduction according to video they pushed to YT last night.
