Guns Listing ID: 546693



Detonics Manufacturing Corporation was an innovative American firearms company known for pioneering compact 1911-style pistols, especially for concealed carry. Founded in the mid-1970s in Seattle, Washington, Detonics quickly earned a reputation in the 1980s as a small but cutting-edge manufacturer. The Detonics Combat Master series was one of the first small 1911 style ‘pocket pistols’.

At a time when most major gun makers only offered full-size or Commander-length 1911s, Detonics designed purpose-built carry pistols—not just cut-down versions of larger guns.

The MK VII is a rare model with the reputation of having been designed for the CIA. Definitely a close combat weapon, the MK VII has no sights, ensuring it can be produced from a pocket without snagging. This MK VII is in Excellent condition, the mechanics are tight and it retains about 99% of its original stainless steel finish. It is chambered in .45ACP, giving it plenty of stopping power in a small package. These little pistols don’t come up for sale very often, so this is an unusual chance to acquire a rare pistol with a cool history. Original Detonics Gun Rug included. Please see our photos and good luck!

Forward-mounted rear sight set about 1" forward on the slide to prevent snagging.

Multi-spring recoil system to improve reliability in short slides.

No grip safety on many models—a unique departure from standard 1911s.

Compact grip frames that were significantly shorter than Colt’s “Commander" or “Government Model."
