Knight’s SR-30 vs. Daniel Defense ISR Gen 2...

I am considering getting into the .300 black out game. The two contenders are:

  1. Knight’s SR-30 with a QDC suppressor vs. DSR set up

  2. Daniel Defense ISR Gen 2 in .300 black out

I wanted opinions on both. This would be used for home defense with subsonic ammo, and it would give my wife somehing to shoot, since she hates loud noises.

If I go the Knight’s route, I’ll order a SR-30 lower, form 1 it, and then get the .300 black out upper. For the DD ISR, I can simply get it off Silencer Shop.

Thanks

SR-30. KAC customer service is amazing. QDC can is superb. In 556 and 308, KAC guns are better. I’ll be adding one of these myself.

Thanks for the reply. Anyone else?

KAC DSR

I would do the KAC also. Im not a fan of integrated suppressor guns outside of say an MP5SD.

KAC! In my opinion if your gonna spend the money on a DD you might as well take an extra step and get the KAC. For what you get with DD for the money it’s a little steep. IMHO.

Yikes. $6k? I can get the DD ISR for $2800 + one tax stamp.

If I went the KAC route, I’d buy a SR-30 lower, get the tax stamp then get a 300 blk out upper from KAC. Then I would buy a 7.62 QDC suppressor, not the DSR set up, so I can use the QDC on a SR-25 when funds permit.

Bugsy5150 and rjacobs, why a no go on the DD? Specifically how is it inferior other than the pains of dealing with a ISR set up?

If I wanted a dedicated suppressed .300 setup, I’d get a LMT CSW.

First let me state that I am a total KAC whore!!! I am sure that DD rifles are really nice, I just likes the rough/military look that the KAC rifles have. I bought a complete 9.5 SR30 and have both the QDC and CQB cans that I use on it and other 762 x 51 rifles that I have.

Now that makes more sense to me than the DSR set up, at least for a civilian like
myself who works 60-80 hrs a week and has a hard time getting to the range. For an operator, I think the DSR makes perfect sense.

There is not a whole lot of info on the DD ISR 2 that I have seen. On TOS a guy took apart the original ISR and the actual baffle portion was pretty small. He said overall it was loud but that is always subjective.

I have an AAC 9" barreled upper with a suppressor I can move around. I am glad I went this route vice something like the ISR or the Leonidas (first integral upper I was aware of at the time).

My vote is the SR-30.

I personally would never own an integral suppressor gun outside of an MP5SD like I already said. “on paper” an integral gun looks great as a 1 stamp option… but I would rather spend $200 more and have an SBR and a can that I can move around to various guns. I only have 1 rifle can(it still suits my needs), but I have 5 guns I can use it on. Yea the OAL is a bit longer than an integral gun, but IMO the benefits of being able to move the can around from gun to gun outweigh the slight increase in OAL. I have not measured my 9" AAC 300blk upper with my 762SDN6 on it, but I am guessing its pretty close in OAL to the DD ISR. AAC lists it as 7.66" long so 9+7.66 is 16.66, but there is some overlap there, so probably pretty close to 16" OAL combined, which should be also what the DD ISR is since its not an SBR. So OAL is a wash IMO.
