    Yes,,, they released some,, but apparently there was an issue with how the grip frames were being polished and not "uniform." It caused a lot of the grip panels to fit poorly. Enough so,, that they suspended production,, and the guru's that worked on the project,, (Jason at Lipsey's, Ronnie Well, and Bobby Tyler) have worked out the issues.
    They offered a recall to anybody who had one to return it for a proper grip fitting. Many got returned & got new grips.
    And I do believe they are planning on another release. Just not sure when.

    That would be the cat's pajamas with a .45 acp cylinder.
    Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.
