Just wanted to know what you guy's think of this Pistol. I know, I know it cost $1,000.00 bucks but I swear if I end up getting it...It will be my last 1911.

Well I can only speak for the older ones  I have one from Sonny Crockett  time early 80's. I bought used and have no idea how many rounds have been fired. 

It has been relieable and accurate for what it is. . Recoil not bad . Now the short grip takes getting used to  2 fingers on grip and pinky hanging out.. And it ain't lite. almost same weight as full size

 Little info when you install a fully loaded mag the mag follower will stick out bottom They used to advertized as a way to tell mag fully loaded.(6 rounds) really was a way to chop mag and make work properly and hold 6 rounds.  The forward sight and the slighty slanted flat top . Well the orginal designer and owner of company  didn't like cocked and locked carry. So this was done  so when drawing you could thumb *** easlier.( this was time people carried both ways World didn't always carry Cocked and locked That was Col. Cooper  teaching and pushing )  Their is no grip safety .. 

  Now  this was the  first Compact 1911 ,first bull barrel, they were first with 3 dot sights, also first with the double then triple recoil springs . Mine came from factory with Pach grips and mainspring housing from factory. 

First guns will say Seattle Wa. next group(mine) Bellevue Wa. Then company went under  Next rose again in Phoniex Az.  Closed down. Was again reborn in Atl. Ga. owned by a paper back and gun writer . Jerry  something.  Got in to some kind of trouble and sold to another company. Their in southern Il near St Louis .  Are new ones worth it  I don't think so  I paid 1/2 that for mine  Used but still in great shape  . Can fine good used ones if you are willy to look and take time.

My self I belive the Colt Defender or the New Agent  are better pistols. Their cheaper and a lot lighter . Just slighty larger. Have grip safety . I would buy a older one for what it is and the Colt for carry.  I only carry mine now and then.

MT you are a walking encylopedia of gun knowledge. You should have your own gun shop, thx for taken the time and for all the info...suddenly the Detonic's although cool, does not have the appeal it once did, esp after thinking more about the no grip safety I think I will pass on it and look some more.

I think if I found a really good deal on one, I might still consider it.

.............Yeah, right! your last one until your next one!

Well...what you don't see is that I am the camera man and the shooter. I am holding the Camera up to my eye with my left hand and have the gun up in front on my face with my right hand...so I am not behind the pistol, I am standing beside the pistol and have a deathgrip on the handgun cause its not the safest thing to do and my shooting form and finger position was the last thing on my mind. Not shooting myself was.
