Isn't making hammer and grip safety snug a bit of a bad idea? The hammer is pushed down slightly past full cock during cycling...

[hwoods01]

@John234pwns there is a recess cut into the tang that allows the hammer to extend into it. a reverse profile of the loop hammer.. The hammer doesnt touch any metal - it may not have been noticable in the video..

Thats a pretty pistol there hwoods01!!! I normally dont like really shiny guns, but that ones so polished you could use that slide to see around a corner behind cover. Now you just need to make a video of it at the range!

@Slidewinder1337 I once had a series 80 Colt commander from Colt's custom shop with adj trigger, adj. sights, hammer, tang, throated ect.. but it was stolen out of my truck 15 years or so ago.. this is my only good 1911 left. ;) Insurance paid for the Commander

If your ammo is 15 years old your weapon is no longer what I would classify as "reliable." You simply MUST replace your combat / defense loads every couple of years. Moisture, heat, condensation, even GUN OIL can destroy powder and primers.

Go to the range and shoot all your old ammo and buy new. And with the new stuff, buy a box and shoot 1/2 of it and if you get ZERO problems, keep the rest for "use" rounds. If you get even ONE bad or misfeeding round, dump it all and try again.

A buddy wants to trade an all weather lower blued upper MKVI for my modified Saiga 12 shotgun. Thanks for this video I had no idea about this fine gun. Im having a hard time determining value though.

Awesome gun! Its nice to see that there are still some Detonics floating around out there. I have a Combat Master MK VII that was my fathers carry pistol for about 22 years. He recently handed it down to me and I have always admired those pistols. Take care of it...there arent many out there!

Hi.

Yesteday i had a chance of getting to know this pistol, and i am really impressed, specifically on the one shown in this video. i am from the marines in the dominican republic, but unfurtunatelly in my country it is very hard to find specific accesories likes the ones you have. can you tell me my the brands of the accesories shown and where can i get them.

i am interested in: the hammer, the tang, the extended slide realease, ambidextrial safety the trigger, & extended magazine. thanks

damn i'm having a hard time deciding what i want for my first 45

[flankingtheenemy]

sooo cool

[jonesandoutlaw]

that is a beautiful firearm

[faffaflunkie]

@biagrauser These sites in no way tell you the source of the parts. Remember Detonics was the first to market a STAINLESS STEEL auto in .45 Cal (the first "full size" .45 in stainless wasn't produced until a few years later). If they did not produce their own parts this (the production of the worlds first stainless steel .45) would be impossible. Now look at the firearm in the video. Do you see any parts marked "Colt"? Even the magazine-which at first seems identical-is unique to the Detonics.

[biagrauser]

@faffaflunkie I'm not going to dispute your claim even though it is entirely F-A-L-S-E FALSE...... Anyone wanting to know the "truth" about Detonics should go to the Yahoo Detonics Collectors group or biggerhammerdotcom. I'm certainly no the last word on all things Detonics. If you google "detonics stuff" you will find my web site which has the links, about 2/3 down the page, to many helpful sites. Sorry I lied... This is my last post... ;-)
