Here is the site
http://www.crackerthrower.com/index.html
I would like to know if;
1. They work
2. How far will they through a cracker
3. Are they hard to hit.
I like shooting clays behind the house but I don't like the mess they make. I figure animals and my dogs would eat the crackers and there would not be a mess of broken clay pigeons laying all over for me to clean up.
Thanks for any responses.
Are they worth a hoot?

IT'S WHAT PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THEMSELVES THAT MAKES THEM AFRAID.
I have a Mk IV Combat Master that was made in the late 70's early 80's. I bought it used for about $270 in 1983 at a pawn shop, off of 1st Av in Seattle WA. I was stationed at Ft Lewis from 81-91.
This was my 1st Semi Auto Carry gun. Before this I had Carried a M38 S&W Airweight. I had a Colt Series 70 but it was too big and I wanted something different and cool looking, that Mk1 Combat master filled the bill. I had applied for my Washington State Carry permit(They were easy to get back then) so I wanted a new gun to carry.
I shot the snot out of that little gun, I replaced all the springs in it every year. I carried it with hardball ammo(and still would today) and I kept a spare mag in my pocket. That little blaster went everywhere with me. When I lived in the barracks I kept it in my truck in a box locked behind the seat.
I had Greg Kramer make me a holster for it when he was working out of his garage. Its a belt slide holster but it fits the gun really good.
I carried that gun just about everyday(When I was off post) until 1993 or about 12 years. I wanted to do an overseas tour so I left all my guns at my Mom and Dads house.
When I got back to the states 5 years later I got most of my guns but I forgot about the little Mk1 Combat Master, that was 1998. I kind of stopped carrying concealed for a year or so then got a Glock 19 and that was my and still is carry gun. The little Mk1 stayed locked up in my dads Gun safe way in the back.
Fast forward to 2007. I went to visit my Dad and he asked me what I was going to do with the guns in his safe? I am like what guns?
He goes and opens up the old safe and pulls out 3 pistols I had all but forgot about:
A Colt New Frontier in 22lr and 22 Mag(He kept this one), A 4" M19-2 S&W(I gave this gun to my FIL for a house gun) and that little Detonics Mk1 Combat master.[:D]
They were all cleaned and oiled, wrapped in a old wool army sock.
I had not laid eyes on any of them since 1993.
Well me and Dad took the guns to a indoor range and put 100rds through them. The Mk1 still functioned flawlessly like it always had with Hardball or Silvertips. Big Hollow-points hung it up like the CCI but it shot silvertips fine.
I took the gun home to NC and stuck it in my safe. Well here it is 10 years later and I am looking around and lo and behold there she is again.
I just got back from shooting 60 rds of ammo through her in the back yard[:D]
The dueling tree was really spinning, those 230gr FMJs can push some steel.
Old memories.
[;)]
I just went out and shot it some more[:D]

Looking for a new carry piece and saw this monstrosity. I don't really care for the look, but for up close and personal protection it looks like an interesting choice.
THIS one sure is purdy...

Pretty neat, who has one?!

the new detonics are not the same as old, detonics where ground breaking and the forefather in the dual capture recoil spring assembly, they where ahead of their time, and it is a damn shame they went before the 1911 bandwagon came
Now this was a carry gun and it was carried, so its not very pretty but the wear is honest[;)]
I read an article by Jerry Ahern in the 80's and he stated the gun should be carried hammer down on a live round. I did not do that I trused Half Cock, I am not sure if thats the way to do it but that is what I did.
On the draw I would thumb back the hammer to full cock.
If you even thought about doing that today you would be run out of town on a rail for being dangerous.
I am sure most folks would ask how did I lower the hammer on a live round, answer carefully and I never had a problem, no glove boxes shot or anything.
I have big hands but you can still see how small they chopped that gun down to. Way ahead of their time.
In for the giveaway!!
Very nice Sam.
In for the giveaway!!
LOL between you and 1911al fan everyone wants my old Mk1.
Come on guys its all metal, heavy and in an obsolete caliber[;)]
That short barrel gives up a bunch of velocity, I think I chrono'ed it once and US Army Ball was barely making 700 fps.
It will bite your thumb meat and the short grip hurts your palm, you would both be better off with a Glock[:0]
I think I will keep it and take it out in 10 years or so and see if it still works that is if they still make ammo for it[^]
Mine was a POS and so was the guy I talked to at Detonics at the time.
It's beautiful.[:D]
It is and thanks.
It is like a bull dog with his teeth showing and grunting, just limping along kind of side ways like they do. You look at the dog and say man he is so ugly he's beautiful.
Yep I think I will keep it. I am lucky I lost track of it or I probably would have traded it off for some dumb crap like I have done with so many cool guns I have owned. I don't even want to get started there Winchester 1886 in 40-82[V] and so many others.

Obsolete caliber? You got to be kidding me??? the .45 ACP will be around for at least another hundred years. It's still one of the more popular calibers on the market. Sheesh
LOL
Lighten up Francis.
I have been shooting Striker fired gun so long now I forgot how nice a SA Auto is.
Like they say all that is old is new again, or something like that[;)]
