"This is a great pistol that packs a punch for the price! With its full metal construction, its feel like a reliable backup, or even a secondary! Only thing is I wish it had a threaded barrel. All in all, amazing pistol that surprised me for the price!

"A lovely, lightweight sidearm.
It isn't going to pack the massive recoil or punch you may get from other guns, but great and pretty accurate sidearm, especially for its size.
FPS shouldn't be an issue unless operating in colder weather.

"The Detonic 1911 is awesome!!
Don't be fooled by this palm sized pistol, it is packed with full size 1911 power! Best of all, it takes my KJW 1911 full size magazines with a bonus extended look. Because it is a smaller slide, the kick seems to feel even better than a full size 1911.
Pro:
Compact, I don't think you can get any smaller
Compatible with Marui and KJW 1911 magazine
Metal slide, frame and magazine
Con:
None

"Great gun, shoots hard and fast very accurate without any up grades but I have to pull back the slide on cold nights so it can feed properly

"Here's my little run down of this product:
The fit and finish is acceptable, it's pretty solid. It feels about on par with my WE M9s in terms of its build. It isn't nearly as tight as my Marui 1911s.
The one that I received does not suffer from overhop or mag leaks, like a lot of reviews have stated. It's built by Army Armament, so the QA is a little off on these, it's to be expected for a sub $100 Taiwanese gun. Accuracy wise, again, it's not nearly as good as my Maruis, it gives me the ability to reach about 50-60 feet reliably to hit a man sized target outdoors. I was a little impressed with it.
As far as the Marui compatibility goes: It LOOKS just like Marui/KJW internals, but my Marui Detonics and Series 70 slides do not fit onto the frame. The Matrix R45 slide fits onto my Marui frames fine, though. The blowback action of the R45 does seem to function slightly differently than the Marui models, it looks like the nozzle doesn't delay the same as the Marui models, which actually contributes to a sharper recoil and a little less gas efficiency.
I get between 15-25 rounds per charge of propane and GG, which is dissapointing with the 22rnd magazine. With Duster/HFC135A it's even less. Another point on the magazines is that TM and KJW full size mags fit, but don't drop free from the gun. The AA supplied magazine does drop free, no problem, but the Marui and KJW mags require you do pull them out.
The trademarks on the gun are well engraved, but do differ slightly from the pictures. I don't really care about that on a sub $100 Taiwanese GBB.
Pros:
Sweet little pistol
slide fits on Marui compatible frames and trigger groups
full metal
pretty accurate for it's size
tons of upgrades
For someone with thinner hands, like me, the grip is perfect
Cons:
too small
Marui slides do no fit frame
poor gas efficiency (this is systemic with this particular gas system, so expect it from KJW/Bell/AA/TM 1911 single stacks)
Trades differ from pictures, but again: sub $100 Taiwanese gun. It's gonna happen.
Not 100% marui compatible like advertised, but for the most part it's close
Very uncomfortable and weird for larger handed individuals
Final verdict: It's a fun gun to use. It's well worth the sub $100 price tag. If you're thinking of getting one, get it. It's just fun to have.

"First of all, this gun looks and feels amazing.. I would give it a 5/5 but I am am having an issue. No matter how I adjust the hop up, the bb's curve extremely high up when shooting past around 10 feet. I wasn't expecting to be able to shoot 100 feet out with this accurately, but I did expected to be somewhat on sight at 25-50. It's shooting around 5 feet high at 25 feet and 10 feet high at 50 ft. Sounds like other people have had great experiences with the gun, so it might just be the one I received.
