This appears to be the fourth incarnation of Detonics. Can the brand survive being batted around like this?

Always had a soft spot for Detonics myself. Actually did some combat shooting with one I borrowed from a friend in the mid-80s. It was a temperamental little bugger, but sure did shoot nice with loads it liked.
