Yeah, the company was mostly a tactical oriented shop if I remember. They were a sponsor for either a KY Sectional or the battle in the Blue Grass some years back and had these for sale and on display. Then SC started selling them. This was during the Mike Foley years at SC. Damn, I can remember everything but the name of the company. LOL
I also remember some had concerns the Open sides would attract too much dirt and many got turned off by that.
