We wanted sights that were smaller than MBUS, with more features, and the same or better drop performance. We announced based on initial forecast timelines, but we had some changes along the way, as well as some supply chain challenges while we were trying different things out. We have ended up using a new polymer formulation for certain parts, and there were a lot of testing and revision cycles to make sure we met our desired requirements. It has been an embarrassingly long time, but we are finally building. Planned release is before the end of October. They are everything we wanted. Will also see some other things shipping in October and Nov.
As far as not being a firearms accessory company, we still put out more, and more ambitious firearms products than anyone else. I can assure you that the Daka pouch and novelty sock people are not the same people as the stock people. We are hiring on both sides, currently, to increase bandwidth on everything.
We will, however, partly because of the MBUS 3 delay fiasco, be moving to more of a cycle where we announce products when they are ready to ship rather than announce at SHOT and then announce shipping during the year. We do have some very, very cool things coming at SHOT show, though, and a ton of things in the works--there are over 50 active firearms programs, currently. Given the way social media and content production are currently working, we feel less of an imperative to announce products at SHOT if they are not ready to ship, so expect releases throughout the year from here on out. View Quote this has been said verbatim for years.
