I own an original Detonic. I consider it heavy, chunky and hard to carry due to its short barral and weight. The multiple sharp edges don't help. Does your body and dress match the lady in question?
I perfered a light weight Commander over it. I Have carried a Bulldog and still like my Smith. The Charter was a mid 70's gun and it sucked.

I hope for her sake our bodies don't match. I had 2 Detonics totally customized by Briley some years ago, and a lady friend carries the engraved one concealed all the time. They need a little melting, like all 1911s and a special holster. Holster makers tend to just shorten the barrel part of a standard holster and call that a Detonics or Officer's Model holster. They tend to flop over and drop out. The holster must be designed to ride lower on the belt, so that the end of the barrel is in the same location relative to the belt that a commander's barrel end is. That puts the butt down lower on the belt which makes for more comfort and a much more secure carry. The same aplies to the short Para Ordnance pistols.
