Ooooohh!! I'm jealous! I saw one recently (Armslist?) with an asking price less than $500. I was sorely tempted.

Congrats and give range reports! How many mags did you get with it?

I got a factory 6 and two aftermarket 7s. Now I need to find some spacers for the 7s. BTW, this gun is wayyyyyy too cool. Can you tell I'm pumped? The local range doesn't open until Wednesday. Not sure I can make it......

I would be too. Excellent score!

I'm sure "Mr Detonics" (melensdad) will be along shortly. I think he is paged whenever the word "Detonics" is posted on INGO. I believe he owns an appreciable percentage of the remaining Detonics in North America.

Yes, he gave me invaluable advice during my search phase. +1 and major respect to melensdad.

I'm not surprised, he is a wealth of Detonics info.

I needs me a Combat Master in a bad way.

I regret selling my DETONICS COMBAT MASTER & DETONICS POCKET 9, but I still have my DETONICS SCOREMASTERYou'll be happy with your DETONICS, they're excellent guns

I thought about a Pocket 9 but I have read that getting parts and accessories is an absolute B****. I watched a video on Youtube that said the Pocket 9 is the Delorean of handguns.

I traded my POCKET 9 for a PARA ORDNANCE CARRY 12 LDA

I don't blame you. Nice score. What was your impression of the Pocket 9?

Congrats!! One of the few deals Ive ever gotten from the local Gander Mtn was a BEAUTIFUL Seattle built combat master Mark VI for well below market value. Its freaking sweet, and a handful to shoot, but FUN!

You are the first person I have read that says they are a handful? I have been told that compared to other compact .45s they have less perceived recoil. I get to take her to the range tomorrow so I guess I will find out for myself.

I can only get 3 fingers on the grip, as I imagine most guys do, and it just seems to have a lot of flip to me. YMMV.

Its also the first handgun Ive seen someone have feed issues with due to 'limp wristing'. Not me, but a friend of mine shot it and had repeated feed issues. I could shoot all day long with no issues. Had him tighten his grip and all was well.

 

[Birds Away]

I will find out tomorrow. I finally get to take her to the range.

+1 to Melensdad for helping this idiot learn a few things about his new gun. Like, er, how to reassemble it. Ouch that hurt. Thanks, I appreciate it.
