I personally have no problem waiting while the guys and gals in the military are equipped with the tools they need. That doesn't mean I'm not anxious to get it, but I knew when I placed the order that I would wait as long as it took. I looked at some other choices, but there is nothing out there that will match the price to performance ratio of the Regulator and who knows if/when another opportunity like this will come along. I was just happy that it was still in the store after two weeks from the release. Besides, I really won't have an opportunity to put it to good use until the Fourth of July. And that is if I can make it back up to the woods that weekend.
