Description Fullview for more details!

This is my "pretty damn close" wooden replica of Mal's gun from the fantastic, legendary, epic science-fiction-space-western Firefly. It's a full scale prop pistol, made entirely out of poplar, whitewood and a little bit of PVC. It points like a real gun, is comfortable and accurate to hold, and would look as good on your mantel in a stand (possibly to be added to my shop later) as it would on your hip at a cosplay convention.

Pictured is the prototype, so it's not perfect, but future versions (ones I can make for you) will have the on-screen accurate octagonal barrel and shell-eject doors that the actual gun features. I will also include a removable orange tip to slide over the barrel for con purposes. The gun can come in two finishes (although I am open to suggestions for more), which are gunmetal (black, with a silvery finish), or gold (like in the pictures).

I use pine, whitewood and poplar, along with high-quality spray paints, stains and glues to make my props, so they're built to last. Let me know if you have any questions, and feel free to contact me here or on etsy to order something! Also, mention that you saw this on DA before you place your order, and I'll give you a code for 10% off! My etsy shop is located here: www.etsy.com/shop/Bencrafts

Very nice! Only problems is coloration (should be a slightly lighter gold on some parts) as well as a rectangular barrel. Other than a few other small problems it is a very nice model, I like it!!!

Yeah, as mentioned it's a prototype, I didn't have time to make the octagonal barrel, and the coloration varies due to scene/reference shot I used to paint it.

Nice to see you back!

And I'm impressed, I thought it was metal at first, so that's a pretty decent prop. Shiny!
