Companies who do this can seriously go fvck themselves. I'll no longer purchase their products or do business with them in any way, shape or form. To me, it represents the height of disrespect for me, as their customer.
Understood.
I'm still going to reserve a little judgement based on the fact MAC is known to not like Sig. Everyone is entitled to their bias but if he is going to promote himself as an unbiased reviewer then every product should get a fair shot. Quite possibly he got a lemon. Its one reason I like the Hickock guy. Although he is quite possibly too positive about everything he reviews he admits he is a Glock guy and doesn't appear to go into any review with a predisposition.
I started looking at CZ because of MACs glowing reviews until I found out he visited a CZ factory and they use his videos for marketing on their site. I'm sure it wasn't for free. Its like the review sites like "Top10." They get paid to promote products in the guise of reviews. All very nefarious to those just looking for a quality product.
Not saying this problem isn't a bad one but so far I don't see a whole lot of mass complaints. Not yet at least.
