[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1472322, member: 7123"] Well, they've ALWAYS done this. Whether it's poor business or not; I'm not sure - probably is. But on the upside - they don't like overextending their overhead on tooling until they KNOW something is going to sell well - that's a smart idea, to not get overextended on costs. Also, this unavailability arguably leads to added hype/anticipation, ultimately selling a lot - there's a sweet spot in there somewhere when interest is maxed out, between unavailablity/hype and availability. Whether they miss the sweet spot by waiting too long and miss sales as a result is arguable. But you gotta hand it to them for beta testing a lot to not let dogs out. They do have a lot of innovative products. I just hope they go back to the drawing board on the new shotgun, so that the trigger can actually reset if you accidentally pump it before letting the trigger up. [/QUOTE]
