Detonics Combat Masters- a Mk.IV and Mk.VII
Detonics Factory-Custom Longslide Scoremaster

A snubby in the pocket beats a Glock in the safe.

In standard testing against denim and ballistic gel they tend to penetrate in excess of 18 inches and produce a wound-track comparable to other non-expanding .38 Special loads. On the other hand I...

Guess I should be grateful that I got a good one and leave it at that.

My wife got me a Taurus M905 9mm revolver for my birthday last year and I was quite impressed. Quality was very good- comparable to S&W when examined side by side. Shoots great too. I've looked at a...

I like it.

It's a shame that they don't make an affordable 8-shot N-frame snubby, but I guess that's a lot to ask. Most of the time I'm OK with only five shots- I mean, honestly I don't expect to need any...

Let's just say I'm dubious.

Carried a modified 36 as my back-up on duty. Great little gun!

I've had great luck with their revolvers but always shied away from their autos- though their Beretta 92 clones always seemed to work alright.

...and not charge $1200 for it...

Unfortunately Buffalo Bore says those loads are for good quality solid-frame guns or Webley top-breaks only. I think S&Ws could probably handle a few rounds of it but it would suck to find out I was...

It never went anywhere because it wasn'tt an 'official' project and there was no money for new projects. Basically the engineers said, 'wow that would be cool,' so I designed it. Then they looked at...

Thanks Lomshek- it had occurred to me that dumping 300 rounds on the collector market one at a time would trash values. I'm frankly leaning towards offering them at a reasonable price by the box just...

Okay, a very good friend passed away last week, and his kids have me handling the part of the estate dealing with firearms. We came across six boxes of this stuff among his things-

I agree- years ago I actually designed such a beast when I worked at Detonics; the engineers had expressed an interest but it never went anywhere.

I've already looked up loading data for the .38 S&W, including which loads are OK for top-breaks. There are some decent options using hard-cast semi-wadcutters in .36o diameter that won't over-stress...

It's temporary! Really!

Buffalo Bore 158gr. Soft lead SWCHP for short barrels. Bear in mind you do need to leave an empty cylinder under the hammer, so it's really a five-shooter. Still, I've carried it as a 'woods gun' on...

Thanks! I really enjoy doing this on a hobby basis. Not so sure I'd enjoy it if it were part of my business, and I have more work than I can handle in my regular job already.

A few years back my wife bought me a Cimmaron Richards-Mason Conversion replica in .38 special. I loved the gun, but the long barrel was a bit too much for my wife.

I hadn't had the gun for...

For this price I could buy another just for parts...

Recently I've taken to modifying guns as a hobby; since I have a knife making shop it's not too great a stretch. My most recent project came about because of my fondness for old guns and snubbies. My...

My wife and I came across a brand-new Canik TP9v2 at a local gun gun store and gave it a look-over. Impressive- best factory trigger I've ever encountered on a striker-fired gun. Fit and finish were...
