I haven't done a ton of shopping or comparing, but I'm looking at getting a Glock 17 and a mid-range AR-15. It looks like the closest gun store has LWRC AR-15s, so I'm thinking of picking one of those up.

DD seems overpriced. Is it really 50-75% better than a LWRC or Colt LE6920 to justify the price difference?

You won’t ever need to add more rails or anything.

LWRC is a piston AR. Stick with direct imp and get a DD AR-15. Everything is made in-house and MADE IN AMERICA

I'm looking at the DI LWRC, the one they created for Individual Carbine competition. It's also made in 'merikka.

never fired a piston AR, but really, what's the difference? Read some SEAL Team 6 bro talking about the fact that he could not tell a difference.

It's like diesel vs gas engines. They're functionally the same, but there are differences in terms of maintenance, parts, etc. With DI, it's "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." With piston ARs, it's basically a solution looking for a problem.

I believe the theory is that a DI gun is dirtier, requires more cleaning and is less reliable. That is the basis of the rumor (or truth, depending who you ask) that an AR is unreliable princess and will break down if not meticulously maintained.

My experience is that a DI gun’s reliability is similar to a piston gun, however my test sample is a decent AR that has been well maintained against a well maintained mini 14.

The real survivalist nuts, as opposed to the suburban preppers who wouldn’t even know how to pitch the tent that they obsess about efficiently packing, I know will generally take a mini 14 over an AR. This is probably out of the historical reputations of each weapon and not today’s reality.

For the record I dislike ARs because I don’t like shooting a rifle with a pistol grip. I fucking love my mini 14.
