Some members here may recall some of my past posts regarding Detonics Combat Masters and my ongoing love affair with the little 1911 based pistols. I've got a little collection of many of the original pistols in every caliber they've made and until now I have not really had the desire to get a new gun, favoring only the original guns from the original factory.
Well things change. Now we have an evolutionary and revolutionary change to the 1911 that should much more firmly lock-up the barrel to the slide for enhanced repeatable accuracy.

A glimpse of Combat Master Evolution

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but it sure doesn’t do squat to curb my ever-intensifying desire to go sling lead.
The latest offerings from Detonics arrived Friday, and even though I haven’t had a chance to shoot them yet, by the looks of things I’m in for some fun.
From their unique-looking dual-cocking serrations, and octagonal sight-tracker barrels, the attached photos are guaranteed to generate the ballistic equivalence of a Pavlovian response among 1911 fans. For comparison purposes, I included an image of one of the new pistols along side of one of my vintage MK I Combat Masters. (Please ignore its pitting the neglect occurred at the hands of a previous owner unschooled in the fine art of firearm hygiene.)
This photo is not of the compact Combat Master, but rather a full size Detonics 1911 prototype.
