1911 Picture Thread

That's a very cute little Detonics.

 

It would be fun to see a final parts list though. If I'm not mistaken you pretty much have most of the after market parts available for it installed.

[FriendlyFire!]

Damn that little Detonics is badass NICE job!!!

 

And where'd you get the hammer from?

[hkssr20det]

As you wish:

 

TM Detonics Combat Master

Shooters Design Detonics MK VI Slide

Shooters Design Steel Valve Knocker

Shooters Design 150% Recoil Spring

PDI 6.01mm Tight Bore

PDI Stainless Flat Front Recoil Guide Rod

PDI Stainless Bushing

PDI Stainless Sear

PDI Hammer

Nine Ball Air Seal

Tanio Koba Three Hole Trigger

Altamont Detonics USA Grips

 

I also cut down a stock Hi Capa recoil spring to replace the top spring. Works much nicer now.

Never liked the Detonics because of its strange proportion with the rear sight sitting almost in the middle of the slide. But with your cute little thing, you changed my mind. I think I'll get one too, when it is available around here.

[RSP1]

Now I'm tempted to buy one and use it a skirmish primary just to tick off the Multicam Tacticool crowd. Looks excellent.

[SamJacksonFan]

Has something of effective concealed carry … I guess, that's what Detonics is famous for, concealed carry and selfdefence. Or it appears in some Manga, what would explain, that Marushin first took atempts to duplicate that model as airsoft handgun. Well, to be honest, the grips and the stainless slide do a lot to the charme. But I myself definitely like it because of the nice shaped ejection port. Would love to see that on other 1911s …

[Fellowz]

my 1911, its not the best of 1911's at the moment, i am considering getting a new slide and frame for it, and the spring needs replacing, and some other odd ends.

 

but here it is

 

i stripped the powdercoat off, took alot of time and some of it still does not want to come off as you can probably see, but it still does what it does best

 

personally i think it looks very nice indeed with the bare metal showing, but still looking grubby in places. its not polished and i want to keep it that way, it gives it a more used look.

 

tell me what you think.

 

[Moriquende]

My god. That is so very pretty

NICE!!! You know when I started on mines I always thought about doing that, but was unsure what the outcome would look like. Fellowz that is one badass 1911 and with Colt body too suits it just right!

 

[Fellowz]

Cheers.

 

i done the used look but i thought why stop there, so i got carried away, it took alot of elbow grease to get it were it is now, but man is worth it.

 

still having a few issues with the slide were when i cock the slide back it tends to lock without the slide lock being engaged, also the slide tends to jam from time to time, im not entirely sure whats wrong with it.

 

 

but ill probably just get some new grips and a new outer barrel and i should be good to go.

I think it looks better the way it is: straight out of 1944.

Try polishing the slide rails, also check for any signs of wear on the bottom of the blowback unit.

hey hkssr20det i was curious as to what you are you doing with the stock detonics hammer and trigger??? are they for sale??

[SamJacksonFan]

Exactly as if there were 65 years gone since … some WWII reenactor would be thrilled

[Romulus]

This is the next step in my TM Delta Project. In these pictures I am using a Hi-Capa Outer Barrel and Full Length Guide Rod as well as new grips custom painted by RSP. I am still working on the final control configuration but my final choice will depend on whether or not I go with the Bull Barrel and Guide Rod. I'm still in the process of making up my mind about these new additions but any feedback would be helpful.

 

 

 

 

 

[r.ocelot]

About the barrel thing, can you get the chamber to say "10mm"?

[Romulus]

I don't know how I could do a metal chamber with a 10mm marking (open to suggestions though) but I imagine that I could redo the plastic barrel to have the correct markings.

 

I'm certainly hanging onto my properly traded PGC barrel for the time being though.

 

What I would really like would be for SD to make a 10mm chamber.

[r.ocelot]

Hah, yeah. WA delta owners have been thinking that for a few years now

[hkssr20det]

Hah, yeah. WA delta owners have been thinking that for a few years now

 

Um....yeah, need one of those. In fact, I need to go shoot my Delta.

I was looking at springfield 1911s today saw this which leads me to ask, are there OD springfield kits?

Many thanks

[r.ocelot]

Yeah, it will.

[christhesecond]

Awesome, thanks a lot.

[hkssr20det]

And it will probably boost fps by 10-15. I like em, a lot.
