Detonics!

News from Detonics:

At the NRA Convention in KY this weekend, Detonics is introducing new products. Now under the control of my long-time friend and colleague, Bruce Siddle, Detonics is, once again, bringing forth exciting innovations that will surely turn heads in our Industry.

I'm not there personally, but I've been on the phone with Bruce, and here is what I can tell you:

Detonics will continue to manufacture its signature, small 1911 pistol, the Combat Master. I carry my copy in a wonderful Lou Alessi shoulder-holster, and a better carry/back-up pistol would be hard to find.

Among new products is the DTX. It is a small, thin, light, polymer-frame, self-decocking autoloader, designed for concealed carry. It will compete directly with Kahr's line-up for the huge, and growing, concealed-carry market.

In addition, Detonics is making the new Detonics/Novak line of 1911 pistols, with the participation of my long-time friend, colleague, and master pistolsmith, Wayne Novak. This product line will feature Wayne's wonderful "Answer" back-strap, Novak sights, a durable ceramic coating, and will bear all tool-steel, machined parts. No MIM (metal/injection molding) nor castings. All made in America.

A Commander-size and a smaller Officer's-size are available. For 1911-O-Philes, these pistols will top the list!

I'll have copies of both the DTX and the D/N to test shortly. In the interim, Detonics is going to create quite a stir.

Good show, Bruce!
