"My mother? Let me tell you about my mother..."

POO-ZEEEOW...[/b]

So I figured $45, what the hell, I'll probably be outbid, and it's not mint anyway...

But thanks to "RPF courtesy" and a little luck, nobody outbid me and this beauty came home today to Papa:

Aim...

FIRE... through the hollow 357 bullets:

and with the bullets removed:

Compare to a real COP .357, the back-up gun Rich's "Mother's Defender" is molded off:

I absolutely love the LED effect and the paint job is great - no details are lost. About as nice as a working resin pistol with lights can get. :thumbsup

Painful to live in fear, isn't it?

Nothing is worse than having an itch... you can never scratch.

I'd also like to give a shout-out to mrviper: "you've done a man's job."

Is that part of the test? :confused

Hey Prop Runner, could you give us the W5 on this nice little piece??

Looks to be the EXACT same one used on the NEW BSG. The one that Sharon #1156844952154 (or was it #3??) used to shoot Ritchard Hatch's henchman with on Kobal?? There are a couple of really nice close-ups. I'll have to take another look.

Damn nice score. I just recently nailed a set of original wood grips for my Coyle.

Looks great, Gabe. And that was fast shipping too.

Enjoy your new acquisition. :thumbsup

I would if I knew what a W5 is...

Thanks for the good words, guys.

Very nice article. Thank you.

and here's Richard Coyle's site:

I can't find any props there, just ezines. What did I miss??

 

[Prop Runner]

If it's not clear from the ended auction I posted, Rich wasn't the seller - I got this second hand, so no use bugging the seller.

It's not a retail site. Rich posts here regularly and sells these and tricked-out resin replicas of other famous sci-fi weapons through e-bay and on commission. He's currently got an interest thread in the Junkyard for a Firefly Jayne's pistol (can't post the link, but should be easy to find). Contact Rich for more info. Hopefully he'll chime in here too.

I also found this site that describes how a real COP .357 was molded, but it seems to be an old site and they're not taking orders:

These were also used on the tv show 'Special Unit II" as their off-duty/undercover weapon.
