I know it looks cool,and hey I am a huge Firefly fan,but when most people see these pistols and recreate them or use them in shows like Firefly,they have no concept of the physics or hope no one notices. Look at the cylinder on that gun. The chamber. Those odd little pegs? Those are percussion cap pegs. You put black powder into the cylinder,you then pull down on the lever under the barrel which lowers a ramrod to pack the powder. Then you put in your bullet,then wadding,then on the cylinder you place percussion caps. This is what predated the self contained bullet catridge. Still...amazing detail man.

Thank you and I know what you mean! I think a lot of that is because the people acquiring the props do so on looks and probably no idea of the guns true functioning. They also have no regard for what happens to some of these rare and beautiful guns because it's all insured and they think that the poor owner who loaned the gun will be ok with a payout and not their rare collectable
It's great to have some experts on here and if I ever goof on something I hope you guys will call me out on it! It's the only way I can improve

looks awesome, almost as awesome as the show itself (but nothing is quite that awesome) reminds me of this time in america i passed up the chance at a replica of Malcolm Reynolds' pistol, biggest mistake of my life.

Well, if I can get some of those models, you may have a chance to still get one at a really decent price. Do you recall how much the last on was that you passed on?

it was in Seattle, or LA or something like that for 200 dollars, all of my money was my parents and i didn't get to keep it, i only turned it down because i'd never get it through customs

Very cool. That gives me some kind of reference point for when I go to sell it. Was the paintjob a lot better than how mine is looking?

I'm doing my best to find reference photos, but not too many to be had so far. Gotta go googling for it I guess

It's an actual 1:1 replica of the real gun prop made from resin. It's a pretty decent cast and although my skills at smoothing out rough spots is not 100% yet, I think I got most of the worst offenders and the rest of it just gives the gun some wear, which I always like
