I loved this gun ever since I saw it as a kid in the 1987 Robocop when leon had it in the club

Oh yeah, Robocop is a great gun flick. Not a lot of people would pick up on the Detonics because of so many others being more predominantly featured.

I have a Scoremaster I bought around 1986 and carried as a duty weapon until approximately 1999 or 2000 (I forget when exactly) when I went to the HK USP45. I would have stayed with the Scoremaster but we had just gone to the HK and I didn't want to issue one gun to the troops and carry another (not the way to instill confidence in your weapon). Mine has a Bar-Sto barrel courtesy of a bad handload shearing off the bottom lug of the factory barrel. I still have the gun, as well as my Detonics MK VI, which used to be my off-duty piece from around 1981 until about the mid to late 90's. I put a couple of other custom touches on it, including a mainspring housing/flared magazine well and custom wood grips. I also got a Detonics factory 8 round magazine along with a 7 rounder when I bought it, and still have the 8 round one. I started just carrying Wilson Combat mags for duty use. I used to get compliments on it, even from the criminals I arrested. Now you have me reminiscing and I'll have to go shoot it again this week. Great gun. I won't ever sell it. When I die it will go to my kids.

I remembered it also briefly being in the first Robocop, but my interest in it was definitely sparked from the introduction by Tackleberry in Police Academy 2.

I've heard of this brand. Has anyone ever shot .451 Detonics? They actually made a special caliber for this kind of handgun.

I talk briefly about the 451 Detonics Magnum at the 2:48 mark in this video. I have not had the pleasure of shooting that caliber, but am on the lookout for a conversion.

Stupid question but could you fire 45acp out of the 451 barrel?
@pewpewreview5043
6 ай бұрын
Shouldn't be an issue as far as pressure, but the mainspring may have to be changed to accommodate the weaker cartridge. The conversion kits were sold with an extractor as well, but I'm not sure if it was some type of "enhanced" extractor to ensure a better grip on the 451 over the 45ACP.

@@pewpewreview5043 I just recently purchased one with an extra barrel for 451 but the slide only says 45 acp instead of both calibers or just 451, not sure what spring or extractor is in it but I’m sure if I keep my eye out I might find some info or parts, thanks again, I keep coming across your channel every time I look up guns I’m interested in.

@@TheUssrcjak47 Excellent find, congratulations. Sadly I'm still on the hunt for a 451 kit. If I find any more info on it, I'll be happy to let you know. Appreciate you stumbling onto the page. I've got some pretty rare and oddball stuff that I'm hoping to do some vids on that you may find interesting. I'm not as much into the newer tacticool stuff of today, but if your interested in firearms like Auto Mags, Automags, Wildeys, AMTs etc, I hope you'll check those out when I post them.

Hello Sir. I have found this gun (extended barrel version) in very nice condition, but I have a problem with it. On Czech Selier&Bellot, it has FTE all the time. Weak ammo? It is shooting very soft. Any ideas?

It could just be a bad batch. I haven't seen or heard of any recalls on their ammo, but that doesn't mean there isn't one out there. S&B is generally reliable, so I would check. Have you tried other weights / loads of S&B?
