And they are still fetching $30-$40 each. Dude Arizona is one of the most pro gun states in the country no magazine bans are going to get passed. The Sky is not falling Chicken Little. I absolutely hate it when people over react. Yes its not a good thing for gun owners but there is no way they will get the momentum needed to pass gun control laws right now. Pat I'm not over reacting. I was hoping, and I still am hoping that everyone doesn't overreact. I went to a gunshow/funshow in Raleigh this weekend and it was almost as crowded as when President Obama was elected( BEFORE his inauguration) People over reacted... prices skyrocketed... inventory flew off the shelves... to some the sky was falling, until they opened their eyes and saw that it was still in the air. And all I'm saying about these mags are... IF PEOPLE PANIC about this pending legislation, AND if these mags prove to be reliable, Surefire may have a tough time meeting the demand. |

Match was not major match, but was a blast. link Could be we got a bunch of NJ shooters or the MD just wanted reloads, like I said I don't really care just let me know before hand, one less piece of kit I must bring. |

Exactly. I have a 60 surfire on order with midway. gonna be great for 3 gun. |

Unfortunately in my state three gun is not that big yet and most of the matches are USPSA except for the few I host which are outlaw. Pat |

| no kidding, I have had some 60 rounders backordered for a while, they were quoted mid- March. I might cancel my backorder and blow the money on something else. If they finally do release them, whether it is in 1 month or 1 year, I will reconsider purchasing then. Surefire aggravates me with the "release date" junk, but I am still a fanboy. I bet their distributors hate it more since they end up taking all the heat with backorders and refunds and such. |

The Italian Sites Spectre pistol/SMG uses quad stack mags as well. Surefire just happens to be the first to try this for an AR. |

I put 1,073 rounds through it today. Everytime I put it in the gun it shot till the mag was dry. I shot it in a Bushmaster, Noveske, POF, Larue, and Colt lower. |

If we only buy the also-rans products, we kill those who think new ways and give us new products. Hermann |

Their facebook indicated that they will be out this month. I'll believe it when I have one in my hand. -Arbiter Originally Posted By IndustrialRescue: I see that they have changed the advertising on their website. Any word yet on a release date? |
