Massumma Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Aww. I was hoping for something with a rail. Link to post Share on other sites
Pinkfloyd Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 That's an awefully expensive piece of metal... what allows them to charge so much? Surely they're making an outragous profit on that... it can't cost much at all to manufacture... Link to post Share on other sites
hitchhiker Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Aye, but they got there first. There ain't nought wrong with milking consumers like cattle. Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge133 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 That had better be some REALLY good metal for that price. Link to post Share on other sites
hkssr20det Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 SD is CNC aluminum and high quality. I am not a cow, just a guy that needs a full metal Detonics. Ordered mine last night. Funny thing is that Den is sold out on the slides, now all they have are frames. Link to post Share on other sites
Romulus Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 The price certainly is high but I guess that it is no worse than $230 Hi-Capa frames. Gotta love being taken advantage of. Link to post Share on other sites
Guinness Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Aww. I was hoping for something with a rail. A rail...... really... For a gun that is intended to sit in a ankle holster or concealed holster behind your back and be pulled as a backup weapon? What would you put on that tiny little rail? a tiny little light? or laser? yikes Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Why do they have to make black frames and silver slides? Surely this is an old school gun so it should be all back, silver or silver frame and black slide. Link to post Share on other sites
Romulus Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 DEN has silver frames as well. I think all told there are four different versions, two silvers and two blacks. The other variation is between classic and...er...non-classic. Link to post Share on other sites
hkssr20det Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Yeah Den does have all four. One set has the new Detonics USA trademarks, the other has the "classic" Detonics trademarks. Since the SD slide is a MKVI, I chose the Classic (yeah I know my grips are the new ones). Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Cool. Link to post Share on other sites
Apotheothenai Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 My lord that is expensive. I like the Detonic though. They're pretty neat/ But still...$213?!?! For that price I would expect steel, but that's just me I guess. Link to post Share on other sites
Utty Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 But no metal outer barrel yet. Good thing the stock part looks so good! Link to post Share on other sites

For that price I would expect steel, but that's just me I guess. Has no one ever made a frame out of steel? It would seem like a obvious custom option to me as unlike a slide the gun would function fine with a steel frame. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Why now! Why! Why! I just spent all my monnehs. These better not go out of stock before I can get some. Stand by for lots of sales threads. Link to post Share on other sites
snowman Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 But no metal outer barrel yet. Good thing the stock part looks so good! GSMS937S on Den! Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 WTF! They weren't even on there 5 hours ago. I can't believe it, I just put 11 things up for sale to buy two slides and two frames. Now I need two barrels too. £380 quid, eesh! Link to post Share on other sites
junior Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Who was it that said that a full metal TM was less then a full metal WA?! Looks to me their about neck n neck right now.... Hopefully PGC will release a complete kit soon. Link to post Share on other sites

hkssr20det Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Just requoted my Den order. Steel barrel added, two parts away from a full built Detonics. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Why did I have to buy two? I have sold my marushin detonics, probably my P90 and probably another gun. That's 70, 170 or 400 quid depending on how things go. I think I'll be OK. I might even have enough for the other ancillary bits. I just need to come up with an MSH and the (not a) grip safety in stainless. I love these things. Link to post Share on other sites
Romulus Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I'm glad the SD didn't make people wait another month of two for the barrel. This piece actually doesn't have a huge price tag either. Still, I'm not sure that I'll be able to afford a FM Detonics in the near future. Hopefully PGC will come to the rescue with a full kit.

Apotheothenai Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Has no one ever made a frame out of steel? It would seem like a obvious custom option to me as unlike a slide the gun would function fine with a steel frame. Yes I think they do since I saw one once but it was for a Glock, which means it was only for the slide. I think I saw a M9 once that was steel slide and frame...or it may have been a M1911. Whatever it was it was around $2,000! I actually am growing on the Detonics. Is it a good gun? Is accuracy acceptable with that super short barel? I know TMs are good but dont have lots of experience with their GBB guns. Link to post Share on other sites
