Yeah, my step brother ordered a Special Forces back in February and has it paid for through the gun shop but he is still waiting....
I suspect it will be in the shop in a month or less at this point but he is going nuts waiting on it.

Good luck on your wait, hope you don't end up in a padded room from going crazy, lol

Buy a reloader and start loading lots and lots of ammo...

I ordered an EE back in December, received it the second week of March. Blued, carbon steel, Heinie Straight Eights, magwell funnel, 8-pack mags and I put some custom grips on it... It's a GLORIOUS handgun.

You WILL not be disappointed. Did you order through Jerry Hammond?

90 days is not a bad wait. Many custom shops have waits in the 2+ year range.

now thats a wait

I hear you!

I have two guns on order from John and a PredatAR... I just spend my time buying ammo and trying to remember I really have more than I think I do (so I don't buy anything else...)

I just put in an order with Fusion Firearms for a custom commander size pistol and the estimated wait is 20 weeks.. It's gonna drive me nuts to wait that long but I know it will be well worth it.

20 weeks ?

So long as you understand that that's an "estimate".........

Yet another affordable hobby.

You should buy another high end 1911 that's available right now to play with to get you through to the day your order arrives.

Yes I know they typically run a bit longer than that, but that was what the man said. I've got two other 1911's to play with until my new baby gets here.
