    Common question found on a lot of forums - "How soon, what is the result of a road test?"

    Well, they still aren't for sale. SHOT releases the idea of a product to the shooting vendors, it doesn't mean thousands are waiting boxed to ship. Very few manufacturers are willing to take that kind of risk.

    By announcing it at SHOT, they get a feel of what the market is looking for, and then prioritize their limited resources to make them. Magpul had already done that and had a list of what was available when this summer. They were about the only one. Troy is probably still working on it.

    Once the stuff is on the market, THEN the road tests start. Not every new product is far enough in the development pipeline to hand out for testing, and a lot are still in prototype form.

    If a tester hasn't got them, no review. Even if some did, take it with a grain of salt. The old school magazine writers share a reputation for heaping tons of praise on a product with little analysis except what bias they have.

    If I was testing them, I would already be outraged they used the same old bulky, over sprung spiral wound mag spring that has been around for decades. It's a cheap excuse and causes problems.
