i've been collecting detonics for about twelve years now and i've noticed that noone really gives a rats butt for the new detonics stuff-can't blame them though if the quality is consistantly as poor as the one phoenix mk-vi i saw at a florida show a few years ago-looked like a melted stainless hersey bar-talk about lousy casting technique. i've got probably 20 combatmasters, 1 through 7 and differant calibers, etc. so i've got a lot of comparison material. i just wondered if any one else had noticed this, and i am looking for any input about it. thanks.
