I think the problem is...
Companies come out with a Very cool concept, even a prototype.. Then can't resist breaking the news..
It builds a lot of interest and hype.. But obviously, they want to offer the best version of that product that they can.
Oops - Cat's outa' the bag now - So they try to give an 'expected date' when they'll be out..
Well, that's not always the case.. A few more ideas, better prototypes, revisions, tweaks, etc.
Yeah, the Hammer fell into that category for sure..
Me personally - With powder burners and with air rifles - I really do tend to stick with smaller cal. .22's.
I've had larger, and they're a blast, but back to air - still stick to 90% .22 and 10% .25
Buuuut...
I'm also one of the people that's been waiting forever for the Hammer to make it into the hands of shops
after a 'final revision' is out.. As little as I'd shoot a cal that large - I don't care - I seriously want one!
Hopefully, we'll all see the latest and greatest / production model hit the shelves this year!
That'd be awesome!

Sam -
PS: I've held out this long for one reason and one reason only..
Yes there are other models of big bores out there - I just like the Hammer..
I'm not a hunter either - Hence not needing one right away..
So why do I still want one?
Because of the extensive damage it would do just shooting random stuff!
