I'll give them a solid B minus so far.
Good
Got my free range bag today, Woohoo!

They acknowledge receiving my mag offer paperwork and gave me an order number to reference, but was told it'd still be 2-3 weeks. Okay, so this is just a little bit over the 6-8 week range given, but I got the vibe that they were waiting for me to call and b!tch. Like they're overwhelmed with claims and are just sitting on them until the customer calls looking for their free mags. Then they put them in the queue for processing in 2-3 weeks, but if you don't call, you don't get put in the queue yet. I could be off-base, but it was just something in the rep's tone that gave me that impression. But, I'm a patient sort that understands they may be at the mercy of a slow supplier or whatever and won't hold it against them for now.
Bad
My concern with the anemic ejection of cases (even after mentioning I gave it an honest 1200 rounds to improve) was brushed off. "Lube the slide and see", he says. He asked me what I was feeding it, and when I said UMC 115gr., he advises that's a "light load" and maybe try 124 or 147 gr. I decide to not press the issue today and refrain from mentioning that the P226 and G 26 I've used the same box of ammo with seem to have no problem bouncing the brass off the booth partition with ample pep, thank you very much. But, I'll press on that front next time.
So, good thing I got my bag, else we'd be talking C- or D+.
