That's pretty kick ass - when I had trouble buying my AA kit, I called Marvel's number on their site and they were backed up for like 6 months or better.
I may have to go out and buy another 1911 just because of this...
Come shoot mine first before you buy one... you'll feel better about it. I was a little uneasy about it at first, because I've heard so much about feed issues with most conversions.
Bottom line, it's hands down better than the Kimber and Ciener.
Here is what REALLY made the decision for me. I looked around for a long time trying to decide which one I wanted, and which would be the best. Everybody raved about the accuracy of the Marvels, but the only downfall is they don't have the last shot hold open.
I called around to several conversion manufactures, including Advantage, Kimber and Marvel. I found the customer service at advantage to be... okay, Kimber did not answer and did not call me back after I left a message.
Marvel on the other hand, I called them and somebody rang my doorbell. There might have been 2-3 rings before I hung up to answer the door. Afterwards, I got occupied in something else and forgot all about it. About an hour later, I got a phone call from Marvel saying that they noticed they missed a call from me. I was duley impressed... the fact that I didn't even have to leave a message and they took the time to contact me. Sure, they were probably trying to make a sale... but it really made me feel comfortable doing business with them.
I have read numerous other testimonies backing up their customer service... I'll try to dig up an old thread.
