I have been in the store and the LGS has called Beretta for example and got all that sort of information over the phone while I wait. I would ask again double check call the importer yourself if not satisfied. Even take it to the manufacturer or distributor.
I spoke with the importer/distributor which is Hermanns, AFAIK they know that they have already been boxed up and ready to ship and waiting on a signature from the German minister which I believe has been about a month. But no other specific details as to why it's been so long before that. I've been calling my LGS and Hermanns almost twice a month since October.
I've now sent HK in Germany an email today because the whole thing is BS!!
Edit: HK Are taking the piss because AFAIK every time the ETA provided by them comes round, they just extend it to next month every month. My LGS is like they said end of October, end of October comes, LGS says 'oh now they said end of November' and so on. Now I've been given mid March ETA. Like WTF!!
