Hey Dave,
Just wanted to update you on how well my rifle is performing. Everything is excellent as expected! I had so many compliments during my time at the range today, I'm very proud to have this rifle to represent me as a shooter!
Thank you! |

Dave,
I ran the 7.62 SLR carbine and wanted to get a range report back to you. I shot 6 inch plates out to 200 yards and never had an issue connecting, when I did my job. The rifle is fast and fun. I shot right around 500rds with no malfunctions… it hit 6" plates at 200 with a red dot and that is more accurate than any other ak variant I've ever owned. Thanks for the awesome rifle |

Mr. Lauck,
I am extremely pleased with the look of the custom sight installation, and the trigger feels great. Incredible Sir..! After getting Near 1 m.o.a. at 15ft. and 6" groups at 35ft... My Confidence with this revolver is Thru the Roof..! The sight picture & point of aim point of impact is Astounding. Thank You for coming up with this modification & offering the service. Combined with the inherent reliability of this firearm.. I see little to nothing that could top this as a #1 ccw option.
Excellent Work! |

Initial carbine impressions from a high performance firearms instructor;
I read everything about these carbines and had seen a couple photos of mine prior to its arrival. Even with that, I was unprepared for what I saw when I opened the case. Every part of the carbine looked as if it had a distinct purpose and that it was exactly where it belonged. Then I picked it up… I have employed most all of the platforms used in the research for the Custom SLR / Carbine project as part of my equipment in a prior profession, in training (both receiving and providing, past and present), competition, and for recreation. None compare with the balance, feel, weight, and ergonomics of this carbine.
While shouldering the carbine from the low ready/guard position, the safety is easily disengaged with the trigger finger while maintaining a firing grip. Likewise, when returning to the guard, the safety is just as easily engaged with the trigger finger.
The magazine release is simple to manipulate with the trigger finger as well as with another magazine. After several iterations of rock-and-lock, I found this to be faster and a more positive reloading technique than on other carbine platforms. The charging handle on the left side of the receiver further facilitates this.
The trigger is like nothing I’ve ever experienced on this type of carbine. It is extremely crisp, zero creep, and light. Incredible! I was easily able to consistently put multiple rounds, rapidly, on target at 25 yards from standing, braced kneeling, and rice-paddy prone.
Mine has the 1.5-4x variable scope with selective illumination and circular / reticle crosshair. The circle is a good tool to estimate distance, eg. a 6 ft target from the waist to the head on 1.5x magnification fills the circle at 25 yards. The crosshair is easily picked up with and without the green dot illumination.
I have only been able to fit in a few sessions and a few hundred rounds on the range at this time, but this carbine is truly everything it is billed to be. The more I work with it, the more I realize the extent to which every issue identified in the research for this project was effectively addressed. This is truly a high performance carbine of the utmost quality. This is my second piece from Dave Lauck and I plan on many more!
Thanks Dave! |

Dave,
Several months ago, after reading your review on the Glock 17 redesign, with some fear and trepidation, I acquired one. I had been to the local range and rented a Glock 17. I was not impressed. The entire gun and trigger felt dysfunctional and gawky not only to handle but to shoot. After 25 rounds, I returned the pistol. Your Pro Model, reconfiguring the grip angle has made the grip more civil and more comfortable. The trigger pull is excellent. The addition of a Trijicon sight has made shooting the pistol a great experience. The overall weight with a loaded magazine is perfect. The Professional Grade Glock has become my daily carry. As always, your quality craftsmanship is excellent. This is truly a great investment. |

Hi Dave,
Good day at the range today with my D&L Pro Model Glock. The trigger works perfectly. Worked at different distances, plus one handed some, and did sets of double taps and failure drills… Good improvement over the past. Everyone I show the Pro Glock to is impressed with its look and feel… I can sense/feel that a lot of thought and work went into making the Pro Glock from a Glock 17, especially when shooting I am just lucky to be shooting… a DLS Pro Model Glock. If, years ago when I first started handling, shooting, and buying pistols, someone had handed me a Pro Glock, I would have saved myself a ton of money and time. I believe I would have immediately recognized the rightness of the feel of the pistol and appreciated the design. And, after shooting a few rounds, I would have been sold on it… I remember from a year ago how impressed and pleased Masaad Ayoob was when I showed him my Pro Model DLS 1911 and let him fire it. There are people out there who can and do appreciate your work… I am spoiled, and happily so. |

Subject: Pro Glock Report
Dave,
Here are my impressions of the Professional Model Glock 17 you built for me. I have fired over 4,000 rounds, from several manufacturers, through this pistol, and it has functioned flawlessly (except for one cartridge with a warped case that thankfully the pistol would not chamber). The way you have reconfigured the grip, with the elimination of the finger grooves, improving the grip angle, removing the hump, adding the hand stop at the bottom the grip, and adding the beavertail, makes the grip exceptionally natural feeling and effective for shooting. The grip fits the hand perfectly and allows a flat, direct presentation of the pistol to the target with no hand adjustment needed. The beavertail allows the hand to take a high, stable firing grip with no concern about slide bite. The Professional Model Glock is the most comfortable and natural feeling pistol of any of the many kinds of pistols I have handled. The feel upon drawing and presentation compares very well with that of your custom 1911s, except that the lighter weight of the Professional Glock makes it especially easy to present. The angle-cut top sides of the slide and front slide serrations give this pistol a handsome appearance over the blocky-looking standard Glock, and the appearance is further enhanced by the three arrow grooves cut into the length of the slide top, which function to guide the eye nicely to the front sight for quick target acquisition. The front and rear sights are distinct, very evident, and easy to pick up in bright sunlight, in dim light, and in the dark; these are the best day and night sights I have seen on any pistol. Several individuals have commented appreciatively to me on the pistol´s overall appearance, and others have commented favorably that it doesn´t really look like a Glock anymore, given the esthetic and functional improvements you made in the grip, trigger guard, and slide. The action is smooth and crisp compared to a standard Glock, much like your custom 1911s. Very importantly, the trigger is exceptional, with a very short pull, a distinct wall that quickly builds (as the striker spring is compressed), yielding then to a clean and sharp break with no over-travel. The reset is superbly short and distinct. With a pull weight of approximately 5.5 lbs., the trigger is perfect for duty carry, EDC, and marksmanship training. This is a serious pistol for serious shooters. In creating the Professional Model Glock, you have taken the Glock pistol and made it true perfection. |

Hi Dave,
I’m in North Carolina right now taking a 1911 build class. It’s a great class, and with an excellent instructor. As you can imagine, the class is constantly asking the instructor for his opinions on various 1911’s. This is usually followed by the instructor rattling off a list of where the builder cut corners or was just plain wrong. So today, your name came up. The instructor’s response was “Dave Lauck is one of about five people on this planet that I would trust to build a gun that I was going to carry.” I was thrilled to tell him that I own a gun that you had built for me. When he asked me how it ran, I told him I had 40,000 rounds through it and never had a problem. “And that’s what I'm talking about,” he said to the class. |

Dave,
Well I have had my DL 308 bolt gun now for over a year and around 1800 rounds. Took it out today to confirm zero and shot a couple 0.26 MOA three round groups. I am not much of a paper puncher so the five round groups were 0.49 MOA. Paper punching aside this rifle, if I can cherry pick, shot a 0.27 MOA group at 850 yards a few months ago. Has a DL trued Rem 700 action and bartlein barrel with NXS 5-22. Will ring steel out to 1200 but that is a reach and it is for me more like a 1000 yard and less gun. This used to be my best precision rifle until Dave built a Mausingfield 300 win mag for me. Now that thing is a whole other story! Unbelievable action and a shoots like a dream out to 1500 yards. If my 308 did not shoot so well I definitely would get a Mausingfield in 308!
Thanks Dave! |

| As a long time custom builder, Dave Lauck does some incredible work. Always looking to make things stronger and more practical, he developed a combat rear sight for smith and Wesson revolvers. It is a fixed carry sight, void of sharp edges. It is perfect for concealed carry. It makes for fast sight pictures and the serrations reduce glare. It allows for a smooth draw from a jacket, sweater, or T shirt with no snagging. The D&L Sports carry rear sight is a huge improvement. |

Dave,
I tried out a standard Glock 17 at the range today. Not at all good. Fit in the hand is not comfortable, large knuckle of the firing hand middle finger gets rubbed and hurt by the trigger guard, the pistol doesn't point correctly, and the trigger does not feel right or break correctly. I could only fire one magazine's worth of rounds before having to put it down in pain and disgust and go back to the D&L Professional Model Glock, which was a relief to shoot. How can standard Glocks, which are so uncomfortable and clumsy, be so popular? Seems like a scam that they market Glocks as “perfection”, because they most certainly are far from perfect. On the other hand, with the work you have done to make the Pro Glock, you have taken a beast and made it a beauty. Once the word gets out, your Pro Glock should take over among serious shooters who want a polymer-framed pistol. |

Can not wait for the longslides! Every one of your signature guns has been beyond expectation and the few I have shot so far can only be diminished by coming up with standard trite superlatives. Merely outstanding pales to the reality.

Good Morning Dave,
I wanted to let you know that I had received the sight in yesterday's mail and wanted also to say Thank You for your excellent machine work and fast shipment. I am very pleased with the sight/purchase. The sight looks very good on my revolver, this is exactly what I was looking for and wanted. I also noticed with your sight that it does not hang up in my holster as I am drawing out the revolver and it doesn't gouge my side like the original sight did. The only issue that I have with your sight is, that I wished I had known about your product much sooner. Thank you again for a great and wonderful product,

I have lots of high end pistols but your guns seem to be the best in a class of their own. My experience working with you has been outstanding. There are no comparable pistols.

Hi Dave,
"The superior quality of your Professional Slim-line Model 1911 becomes more and more evident as I work with this pistol. In having made the transition to the 1911 from polymer-framed pistols over the past year, and having fired to date over 4000 rounds through the 1911 you made for me, in various courses, classes, and training sessions, with no failures of any kind, I have come to respect and rely on this fabulously beautiful and beautifully functional work of art. It is superbly accurate and ergonomically perfect. I carry this pistol daily with confidence and feel secure knowing it is ready and able to protect me in any eventuality. No other custom 1911 I have handled and fired comes even close to the quality of this pistol. I count myself as exceptionally fortunate to own a DLS 1911. Thank you for your knowledge, experience, and skill. |

As someone who has clients of my own, I have become a difficult customer. I see over and over businesses that act in such a way that I know if I did the same, I would not have clients. When I come across a business that does everything right, I feel it is important to let them know. Our transaction was very minor (monetarily speaking) but you acted as if my business was the most important thing you had on your plate. It is seldom one sees the owner answering the phone or emails. |

| WOW! Custom pistol built as a gift for our 45th President by a friend I met way back in 1993, Dave Lauck of D&L Sports, a master gunsmith, gun & knife maker, sniper, instructor, author, and police officer from the great state of Wyoming. He is a real innovator, inventor, and pioneer in firearms design that I met at a Heckler & Koch training course in the early 90s. He also wrote two excellent books for all manner of rifle shooters, "The Tactical Marksman" and "Advanced Tactical Marksman." His pistols, rifles, and knives are highly recommended. These were purchased in bulk and issued to all attendees of the four types rifle courses that I ran for SigSauer Academy. Everything that Dave does is top shelf. |

Dear Dave,
I am back now from the four day, 40 hour MAG 40 course at Howell Gun Club in Howell, Michigan. Massaad Ayoob did a great job in giving us a solid in depth view of the legal, ethical, psychological, and tactical aspects of defensive pistol use and how to prepare to deal with the aftermath of the use of lethal force. My 1911 performed perfectly throughout, and I came to further appreciate how a pistol of this quality can help one shoot better. I am getting used to my 1911 and am liking it more and more as I learn how to control and use it. I asked Ayoob to check the trigger on my 1911; I was curious how it felt to someone more familiar with 1911 triggers. After dry-firing it a few times, his comment was "sweet".He remembers you well, mentioned the 1911 that you built for him, and spoke highly of your skill in building 1911s.
Thank you and best wishes, |

Dear Dave,
I have fired now approximately 2000 rounds through my DL custom 1911, so here is an update on handling and overall impressions. No failures to feed, fire, or extract. I field strip and clean carefully after each firing session, which typically has been 200 to 250 rounds per session. Trigger -- Perfect! Overall impressions -- A fabulous handgun. Feels comfortable in the hand, nicely balanced, works perfectly and looks great. This 1911 operates at a level well beyond my skills. An obvious goal is for me to bring my skill level up to, or at least approaching, the quality of this handgun. I see that happening over time based on good progress in the past month.
Thanks very much. |

Initial Impressions: Lauck SLR Custom Hybrid Carbine 7.62 x 39
Opening the gun case the first visual is this is a carbine that has a definite military all business appearance, especially in FDE. The biggest initial surprise is how light the rifle is when you pick it up the first time - a tad over 7 pounds. Lots of quality gunsmithing and features added to make this an quick handling, close quarters firearm.
All controls on my custom version are ambidextrous so both right and left hand shooters will quickly adapt to this carbine. Charging handles on both sides of the receiver as well as safety levers. The mag release is positioned at the front of the trigger guard and can be operated without moving your firing hand. Mag well is smoothly machined and there is no need for wearing gloves when quickly operating this carbine for speed loads, etc. Handguard, picatiney rails top and bottom for optics and lights and a custom muzzle brake finish off the package.
I topped mine with a low mounted Leupold prismatic 1X optic and decided against the iron sights option. To keep the weight down I used a small white light, green laser combination. It came with a stubby forward grip,but I substituted an advanced hand guard stop as I tend not to use a forward grip.
Have put a couple hundred rounds thru it so far and the two impressions that stick with me are this carbine is extremely quick to handle and lots of fun to shoot. The 1X optic allowed me to easily shoot 2 MOA groups at 100 yards as well as quickly pop 9” plates at 20-65 yards randomly. The trigger is one of the smoothest I have experienced in this type of weapons platform. Since this is not a platform I am familiar with reloads are a bit slow, but I should be able to get down to a couple seconds with practice.
Looking forward to the arrival of a couple thousand rounds of 7.62 x 39 to get more familiar with this carbine. |

Regarding the Professional Model 1911 .45 ACP you made for me, my expectations for the quality and beauty of this handgun were very high, based on what others have said about your work and the photographs of your 1911s I have seen. However, my 1911, which arrived from you today, exceeds those expectations in all aspects and very substantially so. The evident quality of this handgun is beyond compare. Its elegance is palpable, and it has an unexpected physical presence that is deeply attractive. None of the many other custom 1911s I have handled and fired even approaches this level of quality. Functionally, it is almost unreal in the way it melts into my hand, guides my eyes to the sights, and yields to a gentle press to cleanly and smoothly fire. I consider myself to be very fortunate to now own a D&L Sports 1911. Thank you! Sincerely, |

It's magnificent! Awesome! I was stunned by the look of the D&L carbine when I opened the case, and the sense of quality and permanence I get from handling it is way beyond any previous experience. The feeling is like driving around for years in an old Chevrolet sedan and then being given a new track-ready Ferrari… I showed it to a couple of the head people… They were impressed…The associated gear is great, too!
