When did you place your order though? I think they sent that email to everybody. If you placed your order before Jan 7th, you probably didn't get backordered.
Anybody who placed their orders after Jan 7th (like me) care to chime in on when you get yours?
I ordered on 1/19, and got a ship email the next day. Then I got the email about backorder and thought it would be awhile before I would see it. I was in no rush since I don't yet own an LC9 that I ordered the holster for LOL. Then yesterday 1/25, I was very surprised to received the holster! Now I need to find that LC9...
I assume it could depend greatly on what you ordered, maybe they have some models in stock
