There simply CAN'T be too many 75s if you ask me. Out-f'n-standing.

I guess I'm an Infidel, but I just don't get the appeal? I like 10mm and I like VLTOR, and I even like Miami Vice, but why not get a 1911 based 10mm? STI makes nice guns. Higher cap, just get a Glock 20?

That would not be appropriate.

it's like this: people who want a shelby cobra, or cobra replica, want a cobra. they don't want a corvette, ferrari, maserati, lambo, lotus etc. why? cuz none of those are cobras.

That's about as good as explanation as there is. The heart wants what the heart wants.

And a nice black Daytona Spider.

I wonder if Galco is going to make a holster for it?



Jeez, we're geeks.

I may be an Infidel, but I'm willing to convert. If VLTOR wants to loan me one till I learn to love it, I'm willing to put in the time. Free ammo would be nice too.

I liked the Colin Ferall "Miami Vice", not so much the first time I watched it, but I have it on TIVO and watch it from time, to time. I'd go see a sequel.

Used to loop that Miami Vice song on my Walkman when I was delivering newspapers door-to-door on my paper route.

They will have to. You just can't throw this pistol in some fooking Kydex shit holster, MANG! :mad:

I hope so. I'm still going to wear socks though.

So, who's going to get one of these and a Serbu Shorty for the ultimate MV weapon set.

I like it mostly because I am a big fan of the 75 first,

-and, not so much of a Miami Vice fan (though it was a good show back in the day & it opened a lot of folks eyes about the fact that "it snows in Miami." Scarface was good also for that.

I'm there, mainly because I was a proponent of the original Bren Ten and almost invested in Dornaus & Dixon when they first stood up. And I'm thrilled that Vltor has come forward to finish the project that D&D and Peregrine could not.

Too bad that Col Cooper couldn't stick around to see the Fortis thru to the range...

DANG!

I was going to start buying a few 15 round Witness Mags, and they're nowhere to be found.

WTF?

So… to be perfectly honest, with the onslaught of orders for existing products, we did push the Fortis to back of the table a bit, but it is still on the table and headway is still being made.

Thank you once again moron panic buyers.

nothing against the Fortis and I wish them luck.

But I do wish VLTOR would concentrate at the moment on getting their AR parts out the door. Been waiting approx 6 months for some MUR uppers. At the SHOT Show supposedly we were 6 weeks out. Now they are saying 2-3 months...

They are. To the detriment of their Fortis plans.. Has the bren ten forums folk back in their 'let down by another company again' mode. :(

See the latest Fortis blog post.
