[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1035377, member: 63138"] Broz, I saw this thread yesterday but didn't say anything as I think you are headed down the right path. However, I do have a story that you may find interesting, especially if you are familiar with the Detonics 45 auto. Many years ago (around 1980 I think) I dropped by my brother's apartment to say hello. His girlfriend was there along with her sister and her significant other. I noticed the boyfriend (Sid was his name) was packing. Turns out Sid designed the pistol he was carrying. Not something you see everyday. The serial number was interestingly "SID". The reason he designed this pistol was due to a bad on the job experience. Sid was a member of one of the covert agencies and on one occasion shot a fella through the heart with his service revolver, a 38 special if I recall. As the guy was going down dead he squeezed off a round that hit Sid in the knee. (Yeah, Sid walked with a pretty good limp.) Sid swore he would never go undergunned again and wanted something that would knock a man down. He did not however want to carry a full sized 1911 thus the Detonics was born - a compact, easily carried 45 auto. He let me handle his and I was amazed how you could shut your eyes, bring the gun up and it was on target every time. I of course had to have one and acquired a stainless Detonics Mark VI. To this day, I pack this around in a Bianchi #5 "Blackwidow" holster. It holds 5 in the mag and 1 in the tube. Without laser or using the sights this thing will put 6 into minute of pie plate in a hurry. It does take regular practice to maintain that level of proficiency but that is half the fun. [/QUOTE]
