Stevo and I were up shooting his new Detonics this morning. The ammo was, I think, 230 gr. FMJ. Everything feels solid, with a nice tight lockup. The trigger is crisp, and a little heavier than Sven's Valtro. Here's the Detonics at the range, next to a Wilson:

The Detonics fed and fired flawlessly:

And the final 7-yard group for record (5 rounds):

The POI seemed just a hair low; the front sight might need to be shaved down a small amount. This is a really great piece, and the only thing I would change would be the factory fixed sights to a set of adjustables or night sights depending the intended application.
I'll let Stevo say more...
