I see Double Tap is still having quality control issues.

What kind of issues?
Quality control. They claim a certain velocity but their rounds have a substantial lower velocity than advertised.

Naa. That's just false advertising  :o

I haven't gotten a bad round from them, PBR or Buffalo Bore so far.

I was being nice. It's one thing to be 15-30 fps off. It's another to be over a hundred.

 They are at least changing the rated barrel length to longer and longer. Pretty soon all flaps will read 7" Javelina  ???
