Bamse Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) Speak of the devil, I've been trying to reach GX using non-preferred methods (it's just the way I work personally, I always start out easy and it's easier to escalate than de-escalate ;]) with, as expected, no replies. Today I got a notice from customs saying to pay import fees and such on a shipment from good ol' KY. Hooray! It's going to be borderline impossible to live up to the mental hype that's been building for 6 months but as long as it does it's job I'm honestly going to be be happy. Time to slay some level 1's!

Furrly Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Congratulations, you will be very satisfied with his product, it's far superior then any kydex holster I've ever owned, and that includes RHT!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstone45 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Hope I haven't been blacklisted! Placed an order for a Shadow 1 holster at the beginning of June, cancelled it a few weeks later as I decided I didn't really need one. Then I placed an order for a holster for the Phoenix Redback after it became available as an option, but haven't received an order confirmation yet...

SuperKing Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Week 21 for me. My shooting session will most likely be over by the time it comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuey Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I ordered one May 24, was told 14 weeks on wait time. Sent him a text message and responded back the next day saying it would be shipped out this week. I am waiting for it and have been told it is worth the wait.

Furrly Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Speaking from experiance, at 4 months I would start txting him and sending messages via IG, he will get it done the following week once he responds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakerjd Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I will never understand how anyone is willing to wait 22+ weeks for a simple kydex holster. And futher more think it's totally acceptable to have to text/email/dm/insta/Facebook the guy to even get some response. His locking holster isn't even special. It's a cam lock with a magnet.

I don't think most people find that acceptable. I think they thought the 12 weeks or so was acceptable as long as they knew ahead of time when they ordered. Seems to me that the lead time posted on the website is pretty much an entirely fabricated number to keep people ordering. I suspect that most people would add their own(you can order the cam locks from places like Grainger) or look at other options if they were told up front that it was going to be 26+ weeks...

Boomstick303 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) The Magnet is not necessary. I was the first in our section to go out and buy a Cam Lever from Grainger to install on a Longs Shadow Kydex holster. We have about a half dozen in our section that has followed suit, where I passed them the part number for the CAM lever. you just have to make sure you order the correct thread size and you are good to go. The best part is the Cam Lever only costs $15 bucks, you don't have to buy a new holster and you do no have excessive wait times.

Boomstick303 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I will pass these part number for others. When ordering make sure you order the Cam with the correct thread count for your holster hardware. I think the 20 mm screw length would work for most holsters. If you feel like you need a longer screw or are unsure you can order Cam Levers that have longer screws, just search the Web site. You can go one of two routes. You can order a Cam Lever that has a thread count that matches the hardware on your holster or you can order one with a thread count that matches a Nylon Lock nut you buy from a store like Lowes or Home Depot. I prefer using the Nylon Lock nut. Both work fine as I have used both. #20-24 Thread count matches the Nylon Lock nut I have used on some holster Part Number - 20WX06 https://www.grainger.com/product/KIPP-Cam-Handle-Cam-Lever-20WX06?cm_sp=Home-_-Products_You_Have_Recently_Viewed-_-AZHPRV_HPAD-080620&cm_vc=AZHPRV_HPAD-080620 #8-32 Thread count matches the hardware on my Longs Shadow Holster Part Number - 20WU97 https://www.grainger.com/product/KIPP-Cam-Handle-Cam-Lever-20WU97?cm_sp=Home-_-Products_You_Have_Recently_Viewed-_-AZHPRV_HPAD-080620&cm_vc=AZHPRV_HPAD-080620 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK66 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I ordered mine in June thinking it was gonna be a 12 week wait. No biggie…. But now I’m hearing about a much longer wait. I probably would have passed had I known. Hopefully I’ll have it for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to be more annoyed, I just found out that a friend who ordered his 4 days and 55 orders behind mine already shipped. Guess it's nothing resembling first come first serve...not sure if he just throws darts at a board or what. I'd be inclined to give the benefit of the doubt and say that some color combos may not be on hand at certain times, but I ordered all black, so I kind of doubt he doesn't have that on hand lol... Guess it's time to start trying to ping him so he can ignore my messages like he did last time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabass1 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 @fbzero I would guess he probably works on batches of the same model at the same time. I ordered for an SP-01 which is not common theses days. S2s & P320s probably go out the door sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuey Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Mine is on its way, it took 19 weeks. I hope it is all that everyone has said about it. Mostly I want it to fit my Sig P320 AXG Pro without me having to modify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
