I guess Im just disappointed. They have this massive name. People slobber all over their stuff. Theyve been in the business a long time. Their website leaves the impression they are professionals that know what theyre doing. Production time in big bold letters. Regular updates as to when items are being worked on. Real warm and fuzzy, reassuring stuff. Then they exceed their own estimate by, so far, 30%. Thirty Percent (so far)! I do that a couple times to my boss and Im on the unemployment line. Being off by 30% is no longer an estimate; its a wild guess. And then theyre totally non-committal about the new estimate! And the update posted 2 weeks ago gives no hint they are behind one and a half to two months. Theyre still telling people they will have their holster in 6 months. I guess theyre still in business because A.) They make a quality product, B.) No one seems to think any of this is unacceptable, even to the point of admiring it all. I cant even wrap my mind around that one. Quite bizarre.
Geez man, quit whining.

Update 11/18/09. We are now finishing up the few remaining May orders and some June orders have been pulled for production.
Looks like they give pretty good updates to me. These are hand made and they are quality. As with anything custom hand made it takes time. They have a pretty good following and HUGE demand, hence the whole taking in only so many orders a month. To say the least they could probably raise their prices significantly and or do away with a quota system entirely.
As far as CS, it's excellent by my experiences. I had my VMII stolen off my parent's porch this time last year upon delivery, with a number of other packages. Either way, MS was more than gracious and long story short, they resolved it very quickly with UPS, and I had a new holster 2 weeks later.
