Gunslinger Sling Group Buy Feeler

[DAUC]

Well, I finally received a response and it was not good news. Apparently there is a patent issue with their design and they are not producing anymore of that style. Read the email below for more information. It looks like they would still be interested in a group buy for the new product, but who knows when that will be done.

Derek,

My sincerest apologies but I've made a grave mistake. I was told to
request that you please take down the Gunslinger group buy thread or
please close it. Due to unforeseen circumstances stated below from
Military Morons, we will not be able to honor such a group buy. However
keep in mind we will be redesigning the gunslinger which we would be more
than happy to offer when it becomes available.

9/1/11 - We've halted new production of the Gunslinger to make some design
changes. This was brought about by Larry Vickers noticing the Gunslinger's
slider adjustment, which was first seen in the VCAS. He had not seen the
Gunslinger until just recently. When we first proceeded with the
Gunslinger, I had spoken to Stephen at Blue Force Gear about it, and got a
verbal 'okay' to continue with the project (something Larry was not aware
of). Regardless of that, if Larry' was still not happy about it, then
we're not happy. So I spoke to Ken, and EMDOM immediately stopped all new
sling orders - only current backorders would be fulfilled. While the VCAS
design is still patent pending, and there is no legal reason to stop
production until the patent is approved, we wanted to do the 'gentlemanly'
thing. So, we're going with a different adjustment for the new Gunslinger
- probably the same type as the URS with a Z-pull.


However you may direct your fellow forum members who may still be
interested in purchasing our current Gunslinger to one of our authorized
dealers who may have our slings in stock:

www.skdtac.com [No Gunslingers are shown in stock at this time but they
are receiving a final restock from us soon]
www.optactical.com [They do show our Gunslingers to be in stock but you
may want to contact them directly to make sure]

Again please extend our sincerest apologies for abrupt cancellation.

If you have any further questions or concerns please let me know.

Sorry, but I will try to keep everyone updated on a possible new product.
