The base gun for the DT-12 was a Ruger Mk I .22 pistol, not an Automag.
Hey superjedi,
I will have to go look up some pics of the Ruger to see for myself! I will let you know what I think after I see the Ruger!
Later, Petseal
Sorry superjedi, but I have to disagree with you!
If you check out the pics you will see that the Automag (#3) has the same outline, rear site position, hammer location, flat bottom to the clip area and shape of the trigger. The Ruger (#1) is more rounded with no visible hammer. To me the Ruger looks like a cross between a German Luger P-09 and a Japanese Nambu Type 14!
Let me know if you find any fault with my reasoning!
All my best, Petseal
I had a thought that might explain the difference.
Was the actual prop used by "Greedo" in Star Wars different from the prop shown in this thread?
I will have to check the film or the internet but when I say it was a Automag I am referring to the prop shown here!
Maybe TI6815 can pipe in here as to weather this is supposed to be a screen accurate prop or not!

YES.
The real prop was made from a Ruger Mk. 1.
The prop that started this thread is a vaguely similar 'replica'.

Ah, OK. I see what you're saying now. :thumbsup
But the prop built for the movie used the Ruger Mk I as the base.
Are you going to do a resin run of these? I have the Greedo gun but its the airsoft mk1 and pretty heavy. I'm building a life size Greedo and my gun may be too heavy for him to hold
