It's a lot harder to counterfeit a firearm than a knife. It's also a lot harder for the competition to create a copy of a firearm and beat you to market as well.D1omedes wrote:It's weird. Firearm manufacturers show off some new models that haven't yet hit production. Do they have stricter IP protection than knife companies?

I know the forum folks are more obsessed than some but proto pics are never required. Nothing is owed to us except the quality of the final product.
Nothing is keeping people from creating their own companies. There are laws allowing owners of companies the right to make their own decisions.
That's the nicest way I can say it really :) . We owe each other that basic human courtesy.

I had no idea- that is astounding to me.Michael Janich wrote:some folks stated that, due to the lack of a SHOT video, they were determined to spend their money elsewhere.
No need to apologize. You obviously know what you're doing and I agree with Sal that I was taking it the wrong way.Again, I'm sorry if anyone took offense at my statements or my tone.
I'm hoping that you'll reconsider for next year's SHOT, but I agree with Blerv and 3Speedyfish3 that everyone should respect your decision whatever it may be.
