thanks, tnpopo,
that explains the reason, but you're right, it sucks!!
nevertheless, my friend received the 380 DPX he ordered, like CorBon said, they did ship it. And my friend is flying here in his private plane in 2 weeks and we will run a wetpack test together to compare the DPX in several different handguns/barrel lengths, etc. I'll post the results up in the Terminal section.
