It felt like 5 months and if they would have just sent me updates and a ....gee were sorry? They should add a gift.
I'm not going to let Brownells off the hook for not meeting a delivery date because of a soft spot I have for them.
I've bought a lot from Brownells.
You realize that Brownells doesn't make the guns right? How could they deliver if they don't have anything to deliver? :anyone:
You should be pissed at Sig not Brownells.

I get it. They apparently have done this before from what others have said. There's a LOT of pissed off guys on the forums for sure. Either way, you should like the P365 when it gets here.

Why Sig? If anything I give Sig credit for distributing them a bit more evenly instead of to the largest vendors. I got mine before anyone at Cabaelas, Academy, Bass Pro, or Brownells.

You do have a valid point and credit goes to Sig from that. They seem to have created a bigger demand issue than the Shield did when it was released, but that's because of the attributes of the gun. I know I had to wait quite awhile to get one with no safety.

I don't give a crap who builds anything. I care about the company that sells them and I made a deal with. I guess if you ordered a car from a local dealer who says it will be delivered in 2 weeks, and several months later, no car, you don't give a crap about Ford. You care about the place that sold you a product, at a good price and with a "you can get it in this time" deal.
Your right.....promises and deals are for the past. I would have felt better if they would have contacted me (even once) with an update. ZERO communications with Brownells, except the many I made.
I will never be convinced that I was that far down the line for my pre order. I think they pushed full price orders to the front and I was put in a second group of backordered.
Well if you were passed over for delivery I can see your point and it would sure be valid. But I seriously doubt that Brownell's accounts receivable is in that kind of dire straights. It's not like they were going to blow you off, they were going to fill the order. It really makes no difference to them, they are going to get the full price sales too. Waiting because they sold to you at a discount sounds pretty far fetched IMO, but who knows?

I found the rear sight screw stripped out on my 1911 today. I'm not going to go demand the dealer that sold it make it right as they had absolutely no responsibility for it. I'm not going to blow up the boards on how much they don't care. Instead I'm going to call the manufacturer on Monday and invoke their lifetime warranty. I'll get it fixed and life will be good. It's a gun, not a vehicle sold by a dealer that has a factory certified service department. Big difference there.

Here is my thought process if I was running the show at Sig. You’re making a weapon in an age where small compact carry weapons are extremely popular. Yours is going to hold 10/12 Plus 1. It’s going to sell like crazy. No one can dispute that.

So why not build the hell out of them, then release it? How many people were going to buy the P365 but settled or went with something else due to its availability? How many sales did that cost Sig?

I doubt it cost them very much overall. The demand is still high, they're still going to sell every unit they can churn out for at least the next year.

I understand why they had a limited first release, even knowing it was going to sell hard. They created a significant demand and a LOT of talk about the gun, but in addition - when you're bringing a brand new and highly innovative product to market, you just never know when some little thing will crop up, if something throws a wrench in. And it did. They had some issues, had to address them and re-tool things. So if they'd had 3 million units in stock, the recall and repair would have been INCREDIBLY expensive. This way, they got to beta-test it on people who were dying to get their hands on it, with a limited release and found the issues, fixed them, and now can comfortably spin up production and watch the profits roll in.

It IS frustrating as a consumer when you want something, but, I'm glad the model I just picked up SHOULD be fully vetted and reliable. I'm happy. :D

Oh, and mine was $608.85 tax included (sounds high, right?). But I got the only unit FBT got in, which was a "special" bundle with 2 boxes (50 rds) of their new Sig branded self-defense ammo (meh, who cares) and a total of 4 magazines - 3 flush, 1 with pinky extension. Wish I coulda got my hands on some 12s, but I'll be buying those later when they're spun up off the production line, too. $559 before tax.

That’s not a bad price with everything you got. Brownells had the 12 rounders in stock for 35. I used their coupon last week and got 3 delivered for 97.97. I’m just glad the 12’s are getting easier to find. I’m going to stock up like crazy on these.

Wow, I hadn't looked around yet... Brownell's has the 12-rd in stock for 49.99 (free shipping), and Ammunition Depot has them for $44.99. Gonna keeping looking for the best deal, prolly pick up a couple. Got a lot of research to do on the best holster and mag pouch, too.
