HM Defense

Own the same patrol rifle that’s being used by over 100 law enforcement agencies across the United States!

This Defender is the next step up from the Guardian version. The Defender adds the Monobloc barrel and an enhanced grip.  When it comes to a top of the line patrol rifle, the Defender is where our thoughts immediately turn.  Dependability, reliability and accuracy are three things that shouldn’t be compromised on your rifle.  Your life may depend on it.  HM Defense understands that and the Defender delivers on exactly what you need.

The vast majority of production from HM Defense goes to U.S. and allied militaries and to the law enforcement community so they’re not a well known brand in the U.S. commercial market.  The agencies that are running these rifles, however, are raving fans.  This is a battle-proven AR platform rifle that looks as great as it shoots.

We think that the build quality of these rifles is equal to or better than some of the more well-known commercial brands that cost about twice as much. It’s not just our opinion, either. Our customers that have purchased these have come back to us as raving fans of HM Defense as well. Yes, they look great, but here’s a couple of things that you won’t immediately notice that make for a better, longer lasting rifle.

The barrel: In the HM Monobloc Barrel, the gas block is part of the same stock as the barrel. It’s literally a part of the barrel and eliminates malfunctions that come from a loose or out of alignment gas block and the harmonic vibration that can come from that. The result? Greater accuracy and better reliability.

The bolt: If there’s a weak point in the AR design, it’s in the bolt. Typical AR bolts have the cam pin hole going all the way through the bolt. That leaves just the two side walls of the bolt to absorb the recoil and twisting stress of normal firing. The HMB bolt shortens the cam pin, eliminating the need to bore all the way through the bolt. That gives you strength on three sides, eliminates friction on the firing pin and results in smoother operation, in addition to a bolt that will last significantly longer.

That’s a lot of words to describe two key differences in these rifles but we have a great deal of respect for a company that spends their money to produce a better product, instead of just adding “flash” to catch your eye. These rifles are “lookers”, for sure, but there’s a lot of quality beneath the surface also.

You can find all of the rest of the specifications of the entire rifle on the attached photos.  HM Defense Defender rifles are available in your choice of either a 15 inch handguard or one that’s shorter at 10-3/8 inches.  This is the shorter of the two but we have both lengths in stock.

Note: The accessories shown in some of the pictures are those pieces of equipment that some of our customers have chosen to add to their rifles. Pricing, as shown, is for the rifle only. However, we are happy to supply sights, optics, grips, lights and any other equipment that you may need.
