I haven't had an opportunity to do a complete overhaul on a Detonics yet, but my best educated guess would say most internals can be swapped, as for externals (save the obviously shorter pieces.)

I know the sear and knocker is the same as a 1911. The hammer strut is different. The hammer... I'm unsure about. I've never seen a hammer that's marketed to fit both, and I've seen hammers that are marked for "Detonics" with no mention of compatibility with other platforms.

Triggers are the same.
I would imagine the trigger stirrup is also the same.

The leaf spring I'd need to look at, I suspect that it's shorter.

Safety levers are the same (1911), as are slide catch, mag catch, hammer pin and sear pin.

Piston head is different.

Standard Marui pistol hop up mount.
