Charter Arms Rimless Revolver - Reality or Vaporware?

The Charter Arms Rimless Revolver was announced in November of 2008, but since that time, it has not been shown in public.  No samples were on the floor at the 2009 SHOT Show because of “patent issues” company reps said.  

Later, when Charter Arms missed their release deadline of April 2009, one of their reps told me that “late July” was the new target date to ship these revolvers.  This time the delay was blamed on customer demand on their existing product line.

Now, all links have been removed from the Charter Arms website that referenced the CARR.  A Google search will still locate the information page, but I could not find a single link to it from anywhere on the Charter Arms site.  Additionally, the information on the page found through Google still shows a shipping date of April.  

I sincerely hope that Charter Arms is ready to go with this revolver in July.  The design looks very interesting, and there are a lot of people that would like to have a revolver that can easily chamber the same ammunition their autoloader shoots.
