Quoted: Damn, it's a shame someone like you that actually likes the gun isn't the importer.

The real funny part is that in 6 months I sold almost 100 of his guns, most of which was before we had the retail location, we were the number two company in sales for them. And he still considers us a kitchen table dealer and jerks us around. One day we have this price, the next day we get that price. When I ask him for firm pricing in writing he blows us off. I offer to buy 30 of the XCR's on speculation that they would actually become reality, and have them written up in SWAT magazine for him, and he still blows us off.
It really sucks that Utah is full of dealers and manufacturers who make decisions like drunken trust-fund frat boys in a whore house. If they conducted themselves like real businesses we would not be in business as a retail location to fill the void of quality gunstores, and now that we are we could be making the guys we work with a lot of money. Hell, I would be happy with a little consistancy.
I have to give RA credit, he has taken his business plan and made it work for several years. But we will see how long it lasts. I know his other big dealer is less than happy with him as well for many of the same reasons.
