People actually expect a return call or email response on a holiday weekend? I thought you said you were old fashioned.

I am kinda old fashioned, and yes I was expecting a response to my voice mails this week after leaving a message on Monday and again on Thursday.  No I'm not expecting a response this weekend and I'm chillin.  I'm sure I'll hear next week.

I changed my mind and ordered a F/O front sight for the black P-07.  I'll leave the elevated front sight on the UG getting the Optic.

Primary has milled both a P-07 and P-09 for Venom. I'm very pleased with their work and relatively quick turnaround time. They've always responded quickly via email during normal biz hours.
As a point of reference here's an image of my P-07 SR with the stock tall tritium front sight. For me it serves very well as BUIS with the lines on the Venom body for defensive purposes. The Viper should sit a bit lower on the milled slide and may co-witness differently. -I think you're going to find a Vortex RDS on a P-07 is a great combo.

The venom is about a two month back-order from the dealer I'm ordering it from.  Out of stock almost everywhere.  The Viper is actually more compact even if it does have the battery compartment drawback.  So I ordered the Viper.

Primary does offer a 'package deal' savings with either the Viper or Venom and milling. Not sure of their RDS stock situation though??
Anyhow, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the Viper.  It has the advantage of sitting lower.
If you're not using for defense the BUIS are not really necessary anyhow IMO.

I was originally looking at the combo, but a dealer friend on another forum made be a very good deal on the Vortex rds.

Phone calls are very hard for us. We don't have someone available to hang around the phone all day and if we're out in the shop, etc, obviously we will not answer. Email is a far, far better way to contact us. It's much faster and helps us remember who we talked to and what we talked to them about. Phone is simply not ideal most of the time.

As many in here have said, we will respond to emails very, very fast. Much faster than the vast majority of any other company in the industry will. It is not unusual for us to exchange several back and forth emails with a customer within a 24 hour period.

I understand now.  Sorry.  I talked to you via PM this morning.  I got the Viper in this morning.  I did all the process on your website and the slide and Viper are now on the way to you.  I took the rear site off since you were not going to use it  The front site is still on the slide even though the night sight in it is dead.  CZ is sending me a new one to replace it.  Thanks for your time and help.

Got the confirmation email that it was received.  That was cool, and a pleasant surprise.  Won't be long now.
I have seen lots of pictures of these RDS's on handguns, but when I opened the Viper box I was amazed how small it was.  Looked tiny in the box, LOL.

I sent my P-07 slide off to Primary Machine on the 04/02 and they received it on the 4th.  I just got an email that said it is being shipped back to me today.  That is outstanding customer service!!!!  Thank you for your help!.
