Southwest Defense

I purchased an AR build from Southwest Defense at the Crossroads Gun Show in Mesa AZ. Prior to this, I hadn’t shot a rifle since my time in the military back in 2005.

This is one of the best AR rifles I have ever used. Its recoil is manageable, and shooting with it is extremely comfortable and accurate.

Because of this build, I find myself shooting more often than I ever have before. I am truly enjoying the experience of shooting again, more than ever.

Based on my experience, I would highly recommend your AR builds to anyone.

Thank you once again for reigniting my passion for shooting.

I asked Adrian to build me an AR 5.56 with a blue theme. He discussed everything I wanted and figured out the best way to do it and fit my budget.

I got sent pics as the build was progressing which was really cool and  finally finished my bad ass AR!

Highly recommend!

I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with Southwest Defense, as I recently had the pleasure of working with them on a custom projects.

I had four AR rifles built, each in a different caliber and each a unique Cerakote color. I can honestly say that each build is outstanding on their own, The craftsmanship is top-notch, and the attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the rifles.

Adrian, was fantastic to work with. He was attentive to my preferences and helped me customize each rifle to make them truly my own. His expertise and dedication to customer satisfaction made the entire process enjoyable.

If you’re considering a custom build, I highly recommend checking out Southwest Defense. You won’t be disappointed!

Saw this AR-Pistol at the Crossroads of the West gun show in March 2024 in Prescott Valley, AZ, where I purchased this beauty. Loved the look, compact design and upgrades of this firearm. Incredible amount of fun shooting this AR. Highly Recommend!

I have bought several AR 5.56 rifles from Southwest Defense when they come to the gun show in Prescott Valley, AZ. Each gun is handcrafted with quality parts and upgrades and there is a variety of color schemes available to choose from. They are great to shoot and I highly recommend their products.

After shooting 100 rounds, I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The trigger is crisp, clean, and breaks consistently, making it a joy to shoot. Functionally, the gun runs flawlessly—reliable and smooth from the first round. The cerakote finish is top-notch, with a professional look and excellent attention to detail.

What really stood out to me was the customer service. The builder was responsive, transparent, and kept me updated throughout the entire process. Communication was clear and timely, which made the experience stress-free and enjoyable.

Overall, this is a high-quality build backed by outstanding customer care. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a firearm built with pride and precision.
