VintageRex assigns 1985 dates to the Shadow and Tournament entries. These dates conflict with CCI's own statement that development began in 1986 and commercial production began in 1987. They are therefore not treated as verified introduction dates.[1][9]

The later pump-action Phantom Revolution is not separately listed in the VintageRex catalogue but is documented in CCI's official operating manual and 2013 product catalogue.[7][8]
