Everything looks amazing Marc.  I'm sure a lot of people will be thrilled that the shirts will be shipping out soon. The Revolver is fantastic.  Best Wishes, John |

Thanks gents!!! I'm quite thrilled by Kim's work myself to be honest. Here's the link to the gun that was used: www.modelguns-worldwide.com/dirtyharry.htmOne big and ugly sumbitch from an Indyfan's point of view. Kim had to cut down the barrel, drill it open  , replace the sight, remove the medallions from the plastic grips, color them gold and attach them to the scratchbuilt wooden grips, add some rivets that weren't there, file off the top and bottom of the barrel, remove the back sight, fill up the frame with metal plaster in that area, file down the hammer on the sides, round off the corners on the drum and then slightly distress the whole thing to look more authentic.   I'm QUITE proud of the piece to be honest Oh, and the holster hugs the revolver ever so tightly and since this replica is the exact same size as the HE2, it proves that the size of the holster is spot on  Regards, Marc |

In fact, I truely envy you for this piece. Congrats! -Josh |

No blasphemy at all Josh! That IS a whole load full of of work and considering what the un-modified Magnum goes for plus the countless hours that Kim put into it, one could just have bought the real thing instead. Not over here though Since I currently don't have the time to make a license, this is the closest I could get... ummmm... well... I though perhaps(!!!) I could put something on top of them bullets and use the energy of the cap to actually make something leave the barrel Only for testing purposes of course, as everything else would be highly illegeal... Regards, Marc |

Update: I just stuffed a tooth pick into the hole in one of the bullets and fired it off (quite loud inside the bathroom ;D). That lil' piece of wood sure made its way through the room Not sure about the speed or energy it has, but I sure don't want have someone pointing at my eyes with it loaded like that...

Regards, Marc Better be careful Marc, or you might "shoot your eye out"!!! ;D Seriously though...that piece is so sweet! That has got to be the next best thing to having the real-deal. I am VERY envious...I don't have a replica OR the real thing (yet  ). -GCR |

Wow! Super piece , Marc. And to K... a fabulous conversion AND finish job! As others have said, that baby looks real! I'll bet it even has the "heft" of an actual gun. (The weight usually gives away the imitation guns.) You can't get more accurate than that.

Thanks guys. Marc caught me on this one I happened to say something like "Hey aint the 44 Mag. an N frame? I think I can make that in to a decent 1917 hand ejector."  It was a fun project but very time consuming and I still have to make one for myself. Best regards, Kim |

I can't believe Kim turned a Dirty Harry gun into an Indy gun! I used to have a metal replica S&W .44 Magnum when I was a kid. I wish i'd kept it now.
