Well, to be honest, I'd rather carry a Glock 35.

The Detonics is small (good) but also heavy (bad).

Unfortunately, I think all the micro-1911s are ammunition-sensitive to some degree.

Recoil springs are supposed to be replaced every 5000 rounds or so. After 50 rounds, you won't want to shoot a CombatMaster any more that day. So 5000 is a lot.

But it sure lets out a roar, and a nice big bullet.
