Update:
I received this email from Italy yesterday:
I talked with Eric Grauffel at the Florida Open and he told me the subcontractor for the finishes ruined 500 frames setting the schedule back.You have still to wait for a while as the frames of the Xtreme models came out completely full of darker spots so we had to return the frames back to the supplier for a last temp to those models with the finishing we have advertised them.
The last get will be made next week and if it doesn't work we have to decide if to drop this type of finishing for a more standard one that we have to decide in the next days. We made a mistake in judging our supplier and we are now paying the consequences.
Again, I'm sorry for the delay, deposits remain on guns for when they come in, we'll be honoring the old pricing on delivery (Tanfoglio is raising prices) and we'll continue to work as hard as possible to get these guns landed here in Canada. And of course, if they go to a different finish with a lower price, we'll make sure you see the savings.
If you have any concerns about your pre-order, please do contact us directly via email or phone and we'll do what we can for you.
