well its been a year since I paid for my Automag and not seen anything. Wonder, was Patrick at shot this year? Not looking very promising.

I doubt that they are at the SHOT Show. They are actually farther away from having guns to ship that they were a year ago. It would be kind of embarrassing.

I have to say I have complete confidence that they will deliver as they have promised. I paid for mine I recall in Sept of 2017, no later than October. Late last year, December I had an opportunity to acquire some items ( related to another hobby) I really needed to jump on so I requested a refund from Patrick and he was true to his word. When they hit production some time I may well try again to buy the 8 1/2" version as I have no doubt they will make it.

This is the part of the update that provides me a glimmer of hope.
I quickly realized that the Auto Mag had a number of deficiencies and over time I have decided to address more and more of them. There will always be one more thing that could be done, however, so as long as the current design is safe and reliable we will not make any more changes. Perfection at all costs is the enemy of success. Safety and reliability come first, the rest is what you delivery on as you proceed to improve the product. Take the 1911 platform. It was not "perfect" by any means when it was first released. Since then, man MANY improvements have been made regarding metallurgy, machining tolerances, and exterior updates. I give them 90 days before I make any decisions. But the magazine issue is stupid at this point. Either they know what they are doing or get someone who does. It doesn't take a year to get a working magazine design.

Although I was unable to meet up with Patrick at SHOT Show, he was indeed there. He left a FE on display at the SBR both. I saw it myself and even held it :) I'm still hanging in there with Patrick. The way I look at it they'll be done when they're done :)

Did exact the same. Once they have a proven product I will place my order again. I believe they will succeed, fascinating firearm. My own judgement to wait due to earlier unrealized expectation.

I've held off, hoping they would ship this year [2019]. But our fascist governor has implemented more restrictions, and it looks like I have some hospital time coming up, so I may have to re-think a refund. Don't want to, but it is what it is. |

FWIW I phoned them about five times a week ago (before the SHOT show) and left messages on both the parts order line and Patrick’s personal line.
Nobody ever called back. They are going to have to work a little harder on the basics (answer the phone, or at least call back if you can’t answer right away) if they want this enterprise to succeed.
