Re: S.H.O.T. Show 2012 Optics Update by SWFA, Inc.
Wow, how quickly we forget.
SWFA bent over backwards to give Hide members early access to their 5-20, giving a great deal, all with the understanding it would be shipping later. Then many went batshit crazy when "later" was later than they wanted.
I, for one, applaud SWFA not launching anything till it is ready to launch. When you tell people, especially our kind of people, something is coming, the immediate response is, "When can I get mine!" The simple way to avoid giving out bad info is to give out NO info.
I know of a few things they have in the works, they will cause a stir, but if they ain't saying what is coming, I ain't either, and the rest will find out when SWFA is damn ready to tell you.
As for the new entries, I find myself more interested in the new Henny than the new Trijicon - though I have not touched either just yet. The 47 ounce weight is almost as disturbing as the $3500 pricetag, for a Trijicon. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge Trijicon fan, own many of their products, but a 3-15 has to be pretty damned spectacular to justify $3500.
Time will tell.
Thanks, SWFA, for not over-promising and under-delivering. Quite the opposite, in fact.
