I'm picking up what you're putting down, and no doubt it will be good kit when it's released. I genuinely mean that, and expect no less from you guys and TNVC. But from where I'm sitting - as a dude with DBALs, ATPIALs, and an affinity for NV shooting - it's much easier to just pretend this stuff doesn't exist (because it doesn't)
This switch was announced over a year and a half ago, and a total of zero are out in the wild. I have a BCM 11.5" SBR with a 10" KMR rail that I bought in Dec 2014. It has a DBAL at 12:00 and an M300 at 9:00. Both are begging for this switch, and I have literally had to buy a new bolt just last month because the round count was so high. In other words, this pressure switch has taken so long that the rifle I bought with expectations of running it on is almost due for a barrel change.
Do you expect enthusiasm and unwavering support to continue over such a long period of time? The TAPS switch has already taken 50% longer to release than the Empire State Building took to construct.
I'm not going to sit here and lie to you and say I'm not going to get one. I will, if I live that long , but "getting really close to release" means absolutely nothing coming from either Unity or TNVC and that is my only gripe with this whole thing. Vic said on TOS in November 2015 that it was "really close". Words mean things.
