Hi Greg, When I got mine, I thought the same thing when it first arrived, but on the first really tight sight blade, it will just "grenade" on you! It needs to be made from a better grade of aluminum as well, mine bent almost like butter before failing! 7075 comes to mind... these are certainly not made of that!!…. Keep the faith though, I think better will pop us someday.... best, til...lat'r....GT...
