I also have a Rafter S belt in black sharkskin, and I also had a heck of a time getting it delivered after prepaying for it at the big gun show in Tulsa. When I paid for it delivery was promised within 6 weeks.

I eventually did receive a year and a half later it after promising that I would be stopping by their booth at the Tulsa show and raising a stink.

For all that trouble it IS a nice belt!

I got the brown sharkskin package (belt, holster, mag carrier) on sale about 12 to 15 years ago. Belt is worn almost everyday and not a sign of wear on it....same for the holster and mag carrier.
