I just wanted to post an update for anyone that's not following along on social media:
Beta testing is in full swing for the 870 and so far the feedback has been solid. I've finished up Alpha testing for the Mossberg model and I'm really pleased with where it's at. I had some concerns about it initially, but it has held up incredibly well. I've got three Mossberg beta test units machined and will be sending them off for anodizing in the next couple of days. Beta testing for the 500/590 model SHOULD being within the next couple of weeks. This week (probably Friday) I'm going to begin alpha testing a "Universal" model. Instead of using hardware (which would have to be different for EVERY model), mounting is achieved by using 3M double sided tape. While I don't love the idea of adhesives, this tape has a temperature range from -30f to +230f (compared to Velcro, which is rated from 0f to +150f). The large cutout is to clear clear assembly pins, so the gun can be disassembled without removing the Receiver Adapter. Also, it should clear most serial numbers. Obviously it won't work for every gun out there, but it should be compatible with many of the most common ones. Me and my other alpha tester will begin putting together a list of compatible models.
While production is a little ways off, I'm incredibly excited to announce that the first ever Q-DCs available for "purchase" will be at the Paul-E-Palooza training conference. There will be one 870 model and one 500/590 model (with two carriers each) donated for the auction. Anyone that's been itching to get one early, that's your chance!
