I've ordered from Midway many times over the years and my only gripe until today was the poor fitting and shoddy workmanship of the latest offerings from Pachmayr (rubber grips).
well today I got another order in and two gripes. first, the Midway brand of some sort of tactical shorts... I bought a pair to try before I ordered several more in different colors. the size is simply wrong. I did not buy these for anything tactical, just for shorts that have enough pockets..... here is the info:
MidwayUSA Men's Tactical Shorts
Product #: 279912
MidwayUSA #: 612537
UPC #: 00887217028658
gripes: size runs small. if you like skinny jeans, these are the camel toe shorts for you. order two sizes bigger if you want my opinion. they fit like driving gloves, or little boys clothing. I am not fat at all (6'04" 240 lbs.) if you order a size 38 they will fit you, but you will pay for it when you sit down.
next was a pair (or one mono grip) from Hogue.
Hogue Monogrip Grips S&W J-Frame Round Butt Rubber
Product #: 422042
Hogue #: 60000
UPC #: 743108600009
gripes: grip screw is about 1/8" too short to engage the interior threaded clasp. I modified the grip (counter sunk the screw bore) and made it work. good design, poorly executed.
my gripe about midway is that in order to return the shorts for refund I'm out an additional $7 shipping. so I end up losing $14 total. an exchange I guess would include an additional shipping fee for the new pair.
lesson learned. never order clothing on-line. go to where you can try them on before you waste your time. next, after pachmayr and now Hogue have turned out lousy fitted products, I will shop where these items are in stock and I can return them without being raped for additional shipping fees on poorly made products.
griping is over.
thanks.
