Default Detonics Combat Master
Chalk it up to the fact that I grew up in the 80's watching every episode of Miami Vice but I think I want to try and find one of these. What should I look/watch out for and are they good shooters? I expect to pay between $700-$1000 ... does that sound about right?

Tubbs had a .38 and a sawed shottie
Crocket had a 10mm Bren Ten

Man I loved that show.

I actually think they're going from about $900.00 to $1,200.00 now and I agree.
If I were to choose now I would go this route. Fortunately, I happened to pick up a Combat Master about 20 years ago and only paid 6 for it. I thought it was a lot back then.

Lol. Studly? Ah, no. As far as shoulder holster, yeap had one, but after one incident I found they were not conducive to narcotics work. Funny story now, but an oh crap situation then that, fortunately, worked out for the better.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not surprised I commented on a thread involving one and forgot. It's just that right now I really have the 1911 bug! For my next gun I'd like a Colt or a Detonics. I'm not ready to step up and pay big bucks just yet.

There was a thread about this on the other forum. You posted in it.. Here's a quot from one of their members and a link:


Quote:
If you want any info about Detonics Pistols phone up Champion Arms in Renton WA and ask for Peter.
He was one of the original Gunsmiths at Detonics and one of THE BEST Gunsmiths in Washington State.
If it was broke he would fix it no matter what make or model.
Also if someone wanted buy a Detonics from GB if you gave him the serial number he would tell you either Yes or No to buy it.

FYI IMHOTEP is the man to go on GB to buy Detonics.

http://www.championarms.com/champion_arms_005.htm

Peter is in the right top photo under STORE.
