(Above) MkI with slide pulled back to reveal coned barrel (Below) Field stripped. The detonics line of guns featured the cone barrel, which was quite innovative at the time, along with a captive spring reverse plug recoil guide and spring mechanism.

 

 

(Above) Detonics commonly feature a very flared out ejection port to help reduce the chances of brass getting caught between the slide and barrel face during ejection. Image courtesy Mick at MRM (Below) Utilizing a modified Devel follower, the Detonics mags had a loaded magazine indicator that projected from the bottom of the gun. Also note that factory magazines are stamped with .45 A.C.P, while aftermarket mags say .45 Auto.
