He's mentioned that most of the year he's at about 8 weeks, but right now he's closer to 10 since it's the offseason and everybody wants a new gun. @jbauman915, any comments on your lead times?
I'm thinking my gun will be here in a few weeks since my build went together pretty easily, apparently. But I have a Honcho that I bought as a deployment present to myself in early 2021, so I'm using that for Open. Overall, I'd rather a builder take an extra week or two fine tuning and working on details and making things look and function incredible. I'm really excited to try my Defions gun out!
If you're (understandably) not wanting to jump straight into a $5-7k custom, you could try to find a good used gun on the classifieds here.
EDIT: Don't want to turn this into yet another Honcho thread, but I've been happy with mine/with PT. Just wish their grips were in stock. Also I kinda suck at writing, hopefully this post is more clear now.
