My rifle is finally back to work with me, and it is a serious shooter, a real tack driver, I love it! I was able to put 5 rounds in less than a nickel at one hundred yards.
Thank you for the great work, I recommend it to anyone. |

I've got 4600 rounds through the 1911 and it still looks new as the day I got it. Your 1911's are the "Campbell's Soup" of 1911's: MMMmmmm good! |

| The I.T.R.C. is where we get to go head to head with other services to see who is the best of the best. The facts are basic, you host the best sniper/combat/long range match going. I have been all over the world shooting matches and you have the best thing going. |

| Dave Lauck is one of the nations premier custom gunsmiths. His custom gunsmithing ranks with the very best. Lauck can customize a state of the art scoped, compensated IPSC Competition gun or a 44 Magnum hunting revolver that will shoot 1" at 50 yds., or a Remington 700 capable of hitting a grapefruit at 500 yds. His custom 1911s are truly superior. Fired at 25 yds. six shots went into one hole measuring 0.75". 50 yd. groups included Federal Match into 2.5". Reliability was as it should be, 100%. |

| D&L Sports™ Comped Officer's Model is one of the slickest little guns going . . . The little pistol shot with remarkable accuracy . . . This little gun never malfunctioned in any way. We looked at a Government Model .45 built specifically for SWAT duty . . . this gun also shot everything we could find to put through it. Dave does mud tests to illustrate pistol reliability . . . I've seen his pistols work perfectly during such tests. The .38 Super Competition gun we tested from Dave is by far the best .38 Super Competition gun I have ever seen. No muzzle flip, really, it's like shooting a .22. Dave Lauck offers an endless number of custom modifications for the 1911 and does great things with sharpshooter rifles. All of Dave's work is 1st class. |

| Few and far between are true pistolsmiths with a talent and passion for their work. One of these few and far between Combat Pistolsmiths is Dave Lauck. Perusal of any of his work will show the beauty of functional design, and the beauty of talented and careful workmanship. Dave's metal checkering has to rate as world class art. Lauck is a formally trained, certified armorer, a veteran police/SWAT Officer, has a basketful of ribbons from shooting competition, and is an NRA certified Firearms Instructor with a Distinguished Expert shooter rating. This combination of technical and practical skill makes Dave a pistolsmith whose advice and work is worthy of a customer's trust in an area where there is no room for excuses. In short, Lauck's custom gunsmithing operation is proven, reliable, and honest. No bull. |

| After shooting several thousand rounds through the D & L pistol in competition and training without a single malfunction, this gun has obviously had your full attention while in the making. This and other D & L guns I have handled are of excellent quality and craftsmanship. The D & L Custom has been handled and shot by law officers from our local agency, U.S. Border Patrol, U.S. Customs, Highway Patrol, and top competitors from several states. They agree the D&L Sports™ Custom is one of the utmost quality. The D & L Custom has proven accurate enough for shooting anything from Bullseye to speed-shooting, while maintaining the reliability needed for law enforcement. I would like to thank you for your dedication toward making an outstanding handgun for law enforcement as well as competition shooters. |

| The D & L Pistols checkering made it hug the hand, and its trigger pull made fast follow-up shots easy. The checkered front strap was perfect, I have never seen better. The D&L Sports™ Street Pak was an excellent example of a high grade, duty class pistol. Nearly every edge of the D & L gun was expertly blended, or melted, to make the gun feel like a smooth bar of soap. The frontstrap was a sight to behold, truly perfect. Most importantly, reliability was flawless with a variety of .45 ammo, including Ball, semi-wadcutter round nose lead, and the brass was thrown cleanly to the right. Dave Lauck can build a variety of styles of 1911's, and the work is tops. |

| ACP Sharpshooter AR-15, Special Custom version by D&L Sports™. D & L's heavy barreled AR-15 broke groups of ½" at 100 yards prone. Dave Lauck has more than demonstrated he can build as good a rifle as he can a pistol. |

| Customized Colt .45 ACP Government Models are still favored by many U.S. counter-terrorist teams, including Delta and Seals. An example is the D & L Custom. The D & L Custom Government Model demonstrates reliability, and continues to fire under adverse conditions. D & L guns are in evidence throughout my book since I am using them almost exclusively now. The 9 mm and .45 are both working flawlessly. Anyone who shoots either gun is impressed with your work. Experienced riflemen and I have shot some really nice sub-½" groups with your semi-auto rifle. Thanks again. |

| I've handled a lot of custom combat guns. None approach the workmanship, reliability or accuracy of my D & L professional model .45 and AR-15 carbine. They are a privilege to own and shoot. |

| Dave Lauck has literally taken the concept of the tactical response carbine to the level of an art form. I have come to expect the best from D & L and I have never been let down. Like D & L's other guns, D & L's professional perimeter carbine is the highest quality throughout. 100 yd. bench rest groups were .39" with match ammo, and .86" with FMJ. Needless to say, there were no malfunctions. |

| D & L tactical weapons, from handguns to long guns, they're ready for combat. The D & L Custom AR-15 provides surgical accuracy when you can't afford to miss. Some of the best pistols in the country and equally fine long guns for every purpose. The rifle performed perfectly in every way. It delivered pinpoint accuracy. D & L .45s: D & L does a perfect installation of the low mount sight system. The recurve grip safety is also perfectly fitted to the frame. One couldn't ask for better accuracy. Best of all, it never malfunctioned. D & L pistols worked perfectly with all the loads. Superb checkering. D & L Tactical Carbine: The D & L Carbine is designed to fill the gap between a full SWAT rifle and the SMG. This is one of the handiest systems I've ever seen for tactical work. Dave Lauck's custom tactical weapons offer the finest quality, surgical accuracy, and reliability. |
