Perplexed is being far too modest here, seriously.
Paul, you're much too kind, but thanks
I mailed my order on 11/12/13, and the order dropped into the e-store yesterday. I may or may not see it before Christmas. If I don't, I expect it to arrive right after the 1st of the year.
Edit: I also think they're getting ready to switch from SA back to H&R. I'm hearing of backorder notices on Springfields now.
I saw that comment too about the SA's becoming scarce now, which figures - I sent in an order a few weeks ago for a couple SA SG's. No worries if they're on back-order, as I don't need them right away especially with the hits on my CC this time of year The CMP is really cranking out the orders ahead of their holiday shutdown, so I wouldn't be surprised if your order was shipped out by the 20th. What was your DBU? Mine arrived on 12/10, after they received my order on 12/02.
