I can confirm the 6+ month wait. From what I was told by another customer of Patriot Holsters, that they got swamped on Black Friday of 2016. After that, the wait times immediately went to 6 months. It made the wait times that they prioritize large government and law enforcement orders over individual civilian orders. They received a new admin in June that started replying to customer emails. Bless her heart because she would always be replying back to me at 11PM or later.
I received my package yesterday that I ordered on 1/15/17 (6 Months wait) a AIWB and a mag carrier for my Shield 9 w/CTC laserguard. I had ordered them in matte FDE, but I'm assuming because of my wait they upgraded my mag carrier to FDE carbon fiber but not the pistol holster. So now the 2 don't match at all.
Right now the holster is unusable due to how tight the retention is on it. When I first placed my pistol in the holster, it was nearly impossible to pull it out with the pistol in one hand and the holster in the other. Even after I loosened the retention screws all the way off it was the same effect. I could honestly tie a 5 pound wait to my pistol and perform the "jiggle test" and this pistol won't fall out. I have kydex shavings on my slide, front sights, ejection port, trigger guard, and on the laser. I've emailed them for advice on how to fix this issue.
I'll keep y'all posted.
