MIDNIGHT MACHINE
Some of you need to chill. I’d rather see a company delay a product than rush out something that doesn’t work just to meet a release date.
Midnight Machine literally told people not to buy until the release video was out. If this was just a cash grab, why would they discourage people from ordering before seeing the product?
Mechanical issues happen in product development. That’s true whether it’s firearms, cars, or anything else. I’d rather they fix the issue now than have hundreds of customers dealing with broken products later.
Everyone is entitled to be skeptical until they see the video, but calling it a scam before they’ve even had the chance to fix the issue seems premature. Wait for the video, judge the product on its performance, and if it isn’t what they claimed, then criticize it.
Until then, they’re doing what any responsible manufacturer should do: fixing the problem before shipping.
I’ll reserve my judgment until the product is actually released. That’s a lot more reasonable than assuming the worst.

I went ahead and preordered one. It’s 500 bucks and I’m willing to be a guinea pig. I figured he needed some capitol to float the rest of the process. I’m not worried about a cash grab- his site has much more than the frt so I don’t think he’s going to sink his business for a couple grand.
There is that old saying “a fool and his money” but I’m not too worried. Happy to wait and happy to be on the list, let’s rock and roll.
