    This isn't my first rodeo, folks. I helped convince MiHa to go "full time" into mold making when he was doing it part time since he had another job. I, too, remember when waiting times were almost a year. BUT, it was noted that there was a long turn around time. The problem is, I get updates from several people. I've heard, "awaiting parts for a CNC machine", "training new CNC machinists", and now, that MiHa has had some back issues. All I want is honesty. Just give me a target ship date that won't change with the weather. I've heard "two weeks" four separate times. I love Miha's molds, but I don't think I'll be on any more GB's. If I can't buy it from stock on his website, I'll go elsewhere. And, I'm NOT sure running 22 separate group buys is a good idea. Sorry folks, I have a bad taste in my mouth over this.

    Well, explanations of delays can be excuses or can be reasons, and delays can be accepted or not. I guess which people see affects how they view the whole situation and what they'll accept.

    I willing to wait, since this is just the first delay I've experienced, and I haven't been put out by it. Maybe my expectations are different. I've had custom guns built and other work done by one or two man shops that took months longer to get done than the six to nine months I was told, and was told by other patrons that this is pretty much the norm. My professional course of training over eight years was a study in delayed gratification. The old bromide of good things coming to those who wait was not unheard in the household of my youth. I guess I've gotten to the point where I'd expect the worse so as to be pleasantly suprised by anything better, though if my past experiences and current expectations were different, I might be disappointed too.

    Im not too worried about timeframe, nor will this be everyone first 9mm mold. If you're not out shooting because you dont have this mold yet, it's not Miha's fault!

    But then again, I'm not prone to getting my panties in a twist.

    This is a solid only mold. This will
    Jump the line and run sooner than you think. Much fewer steps. This is clearly faster than the average GB time. Lake house brought a design that should be timeless and serve casters and shooters well for quite some time. ����

    As it is your right to be upset, there is a very simple solution for you too: just cancel your order! You have paid nothing in advance to be on that list and you expect a service as if you did?
    Sry mate but to be fair, you are over-exaggerating and no one is keeping you at gunpoint. You sound like the little kid that is upset because his favourite toy isn't comming to christmas.
    I also don't get what you are trying to accomplish with your post. Do you want preferential treatment or just get your opinion noticed? If you want to criticise then go for it, be my guest. But don't do it in a "spoiled and upset kid" mentality.

    I've already participated in some GB'S and it always takes months to get them closed due to various reasons. I never expect them to be on time as there are SO many factors that can **** up your timetable (e.g. the tools needed are made to order). And there was information available that there will be delays (e.g. Cherry took some time to cut). Even right now there was an explanation (bad back) which I fully understand.

    btw: Thanks to lakehouse and all others for getting those GB's rolling

    Hellprayer- First of all, MATE, I take exception to your snide comment of "spoiled and upset kid" mentality. You obviously aren't educated enough to fully comprehend
    my comments. And, NO, I'm still in the GB. And yes, I will still buy from M-P molds, just what is in stock, not in any GB. Is that NOT simple enough to understand?

    Hi el general, no this is not a clone of the Saeco. I used different nose geometry and the translation into the front band is unique.
