    I used to be much better about including sandpaper. I have moved away from enclosing such as part of it was dialing in the texturing in the first instance and the vast majority of my customer base either not wanting it, needing it, or having some themselves.

    In the Odds of needing a sanding touch up v Stakes of not having sanding paper handy when you want to shoot/train, I need to recommit to enclosing a bit of sandpaper.

    Thank you all for your feedback and business.

    You make a great product, David. And you're teflon-coated to p-f sarcasm; win-win!

    Best, Jon

    VCDs, or grips the VCD treats with their texturing are absolutely superb-and also represent a huge value on the price/operational excellence continuum.

    Ergos are an awesome value too

    I love how MC Operators look on line but really want to get my MCOs frame refinished black.
