    Inexcusable, and its the first thing you see on their page. They made a first impression with me, but its not a good one.

    Not a southpaw model. It’s normal side ejection but their photo or photoshop shows the reverse of the upper receiver. Every other pic shows the normal left side, not one with an ejection port.

    My guess is somewhere along the lines of Stick being appalled as a professional photographer that the company would let something like that get by.

    I'm more offended by the $2795 price tag.

    Yes, its like taking your wedding picture and hanging it upside down because you don't see a difference. That sort of attention to detail is all consuming. I certainly make mistakes, but this one is reprehensible. Its almost as bad as when the dumba$$ at Magpul put the pic of the polymer front sight on a railed gasblock as a large pic in the catalog.

    Some mistakes are just ..... bad.

    That reminds me of a gunsmith in Salem that has a mirror image of a 1911 on his sign/logo. Back when I still went in there I told him it must be modeled after a Randall, he was not pleased.

    I see lots of flash and very little substance.

    All I see is aesthetic "styling," a Gucci Gun for those with more dollars than sense who "just have to be different."
