Where to start with this awesome prop replica?
As we all know there are very little to no official prop replicas of Cyberpunk 2077 items.
I am one of those collectors who prefers to have 1:1 scale props of a franchise. This item, the Militech M-10AF Lexington is special for a number of reasons. It is the default gun packaged with the officially licenced McFarlane Cyberpunk 2077 V figure, and it's seen as the "default" Night City pistol. More so than items worn specially by specific characters.
I felt that as a 1:1 prop it would best represent Cyberpunk 2077. In addition to this, the Arasaka Relic Chip, but we'll get to that later.
There are no officially licenced prop replicas of the Militech M-10AF Lexington (or any other Cyberpunk 2077 weapon) but as always Etsy is here to help. On Etsy there are numerous M-10AF's for sale, from simple 3D files to fully printed and painted props. Although almost all upon close inspection look way too rough. Printing lines, bad paint, no functionality, etc.
That is, until I came across Phoenix3DCraft, an artist who specializes in all kinds of props from various franchises. He is on IG here:

The M-10AF I received looks amazing, it looks like a real, mass produced item. The price on the item was also very reasonable.
In addition to the awesome paintwork (I am told by the artist that it is car paints) the device also has functionality. We can cock the slide back and release it with the tigger. It is powered by a rubber band.
The magazine also has space for bullets (it's a display piece so does not feature a spring loaded magazine, it only has space for a single display bullet). I received 2 bullets with my M10-AF.
I am amazed at the level of detail on this model. From the paint, to the smooth finish, to the choice of colors, functionality, etc. It is really the definitive Cyberpunk prop for a display cabinet. Phoenix3DCraft send it out with the compulsory orange barrel tip. But if you ask him nicely he can send it out with it not glued in so it's easy to correct afterwards. Because I did not have the automotive paint used on the body of the gun I used a mix of Revell SM 302 and Revell 99 to match the barrel color to the body/magazine. It looks very accurate.
The Arasaka Relic featured in the images is also awesome. There are a number of these on Etsy, from simple 3D files, to USB drives to expensive ones in a case. I prefer this version by StrangeMindWorks. It is a see through plastic (which most of the others aren't) and is painted very well. It is also very minimalistic meaning that one could add their own paint details if desired.

Find the perfect handmade gift, vintage & on-trend clothes, unique jewelry, and more… lots more.

It is finished off perfectly, and can balance on both sides.
Positives about the M10-AF:
Almost everything.
Negatives:
-Uses a rubber band as a slide release, with no obvious method of replacement. I would have preferred a light metal spring. But I do not know how that would hold up with the plastic.
-Magazine is not magnetically attached to the gun body
Positives about the Relic:
Almost everything
Negatives:
Could maybe use a bit more paintwork but for this price it's perfect.
As with any Etsy 3D products, half the fun is modifying them yourselves. From the obvious orange barrel in this example to getting a scalpel and tracing over moulding lines, etc. That's the fun part, making it uniquely your own.
I attached a whole bunch of images to this post and a video of the M-10AF functionality. If these images fail there is also a link here:

PS: A quick word on the McFarlane Cyberpunk 2077 V and Johnny Silverhand figures:
I think these figures are the best that McFarlane has done for a while. CDPR had basically a carte blanche (literal billions of dollars) for merchandise when CP2077 was released. It was money no object global merchandising release. A billion dollars? No problem (The McFarlane contracts were signed before the problems CDPR faced at launch.)
These figures (as standard normal looking human articulated figures) in my opinion are the best (most realistic and coolest looking) that McFarlane has done.
In my opinion CP2077 is the Assassins Creed: Unity situation dialled up to 11. A game with a catastrophic launch which became patched to an absolutely awesome game and a paradigm shift in game mechanics design (let alone the incredible art direction and city planning) and a cult classic. And having Keanu Reeves in a pivotal role that is completely outside of what you expect from Keanu Reeves is a cherry on the cake.
