If I had to guess I'd say the gun was 100% custom made. Things just don't work for it to be a real gun... The grip angle is all weird, you couldn't put a magazine in that, not at that angle. The bore size is huge compared to the size of the gun. And the very small ejection port is way at the back of the slide. Just lots of red flags that point to this not being built off a real firearm. I could be wrong, but that's just my gut feelings.

nice, I would love to have one of these
I'm sure Mr. Palkow could tell us if he wanted, from his imdb page he is a very busy bunny at the mo.
During the film there are at least a couple of shots of the pistol nearly filling the screen, perfectly side on and top down. It's a pity it's going to take so long to come out on blu ray. It's a really beautiful piece out of the holster.

I'm gathering ref for a 3d model to print. It's possible to piece together most details with what's available, to at least have a start. The only difficult parts to get right are the organic curves of the the grip. It was the same with the Dredd Lawgiver I modeled... the gun was easy but the upper grip was a nightmare.

It sure looks like someone did a mistake when dressing Tom for the movie... Maybe they wanted it to be on the other leg but then switched it to the right leg. Thus its backwards.
Probably set up for quickdraw or something.
I would really love to know what gun this was based on. Surely someone must know?
:lol
Mark (it is Mark, right?), thanks for the extra info. People are just kidding around talking about 'inspiration' at this point. I've been working it up in Rhino for a couple of days.
Don't suppose you could maybe give us any dims maybe?

Will the original prop eventually get auctioned/sold? I definitely liked it... possibly more than the rifle.
Kind of looks like the top part of this gun, but if it has anything of a real gun in it I'm guessing it's got "shrouds" or whatever other add-ons to it.
The grip is definitely a very aggressive angle for a pistol.
In the movie I'd say all of the Tet/Harper weapons are energy weapons. The people are pretty much vaporized by the drones and he actually presses a button to kind of turn on the pistol.
I definitely can't wait to see this one make it's way into reality on here. Who do I make a deposit to?
