Hello Dfariswheel. Another little Colt Detective Special question for you if you don't mind.

The more examples of 3rd and 4th series detective specials that I see (by 4th series I mean the 1993-?, not the SF-VI, DS-II's (which you mentioned before aren't detective specials at all)) the more I seem to notice a difference.
Is it me, or when looking at the profile of the 4th series det. specials is the line atop the rising front site of the gun seem pretty sharp, or rigid compared to the 3rd issue guns? The profile line atop the raised front site on the 3rd issue guns just appears to be much softer, smoother, and better looking really.

Have you noticed this?
