I came across this on another forum and am completely intrigued by it.  I know that there are some serious study-ers of firearms and maybe one of them will chime in.  

 

If CZ, Beretta, a 1911 and a Detonics had a foursome and a bast#$d child appeared, it would most likely be this pistol.

Help me!!!

 

 

Hmm... more like a 1911/ Kahr.

Check the video i sent you on the detonics seecamp conversion.  This pistol looks the same and the trigger guard is a good giveaway.  

 

The non-detached trigger is another giveaway.  The factory trigger has been cut but if you look at the back its still there.  

Looks like a Detonics.  One of those on my wish list.

Detonics Mk VI double action.

 

Looks like it had a carry job done to it - a custom melt job on the slide and a bobtail on the grip.

Got the answer:

 

It's a "whacked out vintage detonics combatmaster. Mods include seecamp D/A conversion, bobtailed, and chopped in 45 acp. I also have the original 38 super slide thats been modded to fire 9x23 win as well. Hard chromed, tuned and branded stage 3 cobra by Virgil @ Tripp performance."

I figured it was a Detonics base gun with some custom features to throw all of us off. Virgil was a good smith who liked to experiment alot. Was it him who did all the custom work or just the hard chrome ?

I copy/pasted the owner's response.  I'm guessing that Virgil did the work but haven't heard anything further.  It's a really neat little pistol.  I would want to own one as a curio if I owned stuff as curios.  Nothing more, for me.

What's the asking price? Just curious

It's not for sale.

 

Did you ever see something that just makes you wonder?  That was this pistol.  Add to that that I'm currently on hiatus and I wasn't buying regardless.

I want one!

They have 'em on Gunbroker.

My list of similar nature is pretty long at this point.

My list is growing as well... especially when I see great looking guns on Reddit...

Like this one...

My wife says the list of guns I don't want is allot shorter than the list of guns I do want..............she is right

Same here. I'm actually starting to look for a 649 if you know anyone

I've heard 649's are hard to come by. I do feel the urge for another tattoo........but not enough to take the pistol out of my pocket.

 

My only saving grace is I don't have the money to spend on guns and I've already thinned the collection

That's always the problem, long list, small bank roll. LOL!
