I have a Scoremaster I bought in 1984 I believe. It had the worst beavertail I have ever seen, but it was easily replaced. It came with Bo-mars, a short adjustable trigger, ambi safeties and wrap around Pachmeyer grips. It was the first 5" I saw with a bull barrel. We called it a "cone" barrel then.

Man is it reliable and accurate.

Here's a photo from the original brochure:

Here's how it appears today with a Wilson Beavertail, strong-side thumb safety, McCormick EDM hammer and sear, 20 lpi checkering, an S&A magwell and Rosewood "ranger style" stocks. Trigger pull at the moment is 4-1/2 lbs. With a different leaf spring installed it's a safe 2-1/2 lbs.

I have never had a failure to feed or fire with LSWC's, FMJ's, HydraShok or Gold Dots.
It's not as pretty as some full customs I've had but it is a shooter. Holes magically appear where I aim it. Killed several Copperheads with it in the old days. :smile:

You're a lucky one

...after I got my first Detonics(blue MKV) I looked everywhere for one of those. I'm definitely jealous...Funny how the good ones stay in one place, idn'it?

I have a New Detonics ServiceMaster, that came with factory Robar NP3 finish.
It's my favorite gun, and will never be sold.

Can anyone tell me what a Detonics Combat Master is and what they are worth? I may have the opportunity to pick one up, but I am not familiar with DT at all. Are they still in production?

Thanks,

A Detonics Combat Master is a chopped .45 with a bull barrel. I can't give specific overall length and grip dimension but it's smaller than a Colt Officers Model, has a six round magazine (doesn't run well on non-Detonic 7-round, 8-round mags without tweaking. The slide cycles very quickly.

Mine was reliable and accurate. Sold it because it was too heavy compared to other options.

They were thinking about restarting Detonics a couple years back. I haven't heard anything else so that may have gone by the wayside. If it's still up, http://www.detonics.com was a website opened by the former president to give updates, history, manuals, etc.
