Defiant Machine Works performed some slide work on my bodyguard 2.0 and it turned out perfect. Communication was great and the finish product was exactly what I was expecting. I’d 100% use them again.

Quick service with great value! Turnaround time was a little bit longer than advertised, but they openly said that it was being recerekoted due to a mistake. Still got it back to me quick! Looks fantastic and the dot stays where it is. Even included screws in the box.

Fantastic job milling a Trijicon SRO to my Glock 17. It was back to me in a couple weeks. I have used it for several months and it works great. Ethan took the time to answer my questions regarding back up iron sights. His response was fast and detailed.

Sent in my two Bodyguard 2.0 slides to be Cerakoted. The turnaround time was approximately 2 weeks, as advertised. Ethan’s communication and follow through were excellent and his work is top notch. I would not hesitate to use Defiant Machine works again.
