I RECEIVED MY "BRAND NEW" COMBAT MASTER FROM DETONICS (TOOK 8 WEEKS) FRIDAY 9-21-12. PRIOR TO ORDERING IT, I READ ALOT ABOUT THE GUN, THE INNOVATIONS, THE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AND FAILURES BEFORE THE CURRENT ATTEMPT OF MAKING A GO OF THE COMPANY AND TO MYSELF I THOUGHT, IT WOULD BE A VERY GOOD CONCEAL CARRY FIREARM. NOW MAYBE I GOT IT WRONG, BUT FROM ALL THAT I'VE READ, I THOUGHT THE CURRENT ITIATION OF THE COMBAT MASTER WAS TO HAVE AN OCTAGONAL BARREL (THE OSS SIGHTING SYSTEM) WITH THE FRONT SIGHT ON THE BARREL. MINE ARRIVED WITH WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A BARREL FROM A PREVIOUS MODEL, CONE SHAPED WITH MATERIAL MACHINED OFF OF THE TOP OF THE BARREL. THE FRAME SAYS "DETONICS USA, PENDERGRASS GEORGIA" ON THE RIGHT SIDE WITH SERIAL #USA0470. IF I'M RIGHT, ITS AS THOUGH THEY JUST SLAPPED TOGETHER A GUN FROM OLD PARTS THEY HAD FROM THE OTHER DETONIC COMPANIES. I THOUGHT I'D CHECK ON THIS FORUM BEFORE I TRY TO SEASON THE BARREL, BECAUSE I'D LIKE TO GET WHAT I PAID FOR. REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP WITH THIS.

P.S. THE HAMMER IS DELTA SHAPED LIKE ITS SUPPOSED TO, AND THE BACKSTRAP IS ALSO THE WAY ITS SUPPOSED TO BE (KIND OF SCALLOPED).
