We have all watched the PLW debacle taking place elsewhere and read the streams of diatribe and a plot worthy of an old Spy v. Spy cartoon - I do not (will not) want to comment on any of what has been said, but wished to take a second to comment on one characterization that is conspicuously missing from the pages and pages of postings:
I wanted to take a second to compliment Frank and POF for conduct that is above and beyond what is expected from both a professional and a gentleman.
If anyone has a right to jump in and relish in the carnage at hand, it is Frank… but rather than reap his just reward, Frank is nobely quiet and no doubt continuing to improve his product – and readying to fill the impending void.
Thanks for a great product and truely professional business ethics!
My hat is off to Frank DeSomma of POF–his behavior in that thread is professional and classy in every respect, despite inappropriate and uncalled for abuse.
Yep, Frank maintained a professional demeanor through all of that and has always let his product speak for itself.
In addition to that “mess” I was equally impressed with the 10-8 thread where he showed that he’s willing to listen to the real deal guys and make adjustments based on their recommendations.
I have always put off even wanting one just because of the large fore-end.
In another post about the Bushmaster piston uppers, I commented on how the SBR upper with slightly modified M4 handguards seems to be the cat’s meow.
I will buy from him one of these days.
This is also the same reason I didn’t buy an AAC 9mm suppressor and instead went with Doug’s Matrix9 for my 92fs. I never saw him engage in arguing that would have gone nowhere because of the way the other site handles their larger and paying partners…
