Re: Chinese Indy Pants on Feebay

I gotta say, those pocket flaps look pretty good on those pants. I like them! They may be able to pull of a Raiders pant, if it was slightly grayer, with slight bit of brown, and the buttons were colour matched to the pants.

Re: A first pistol..

It depends on if you want a revolver or auto. A real ammo shooting auto will have to be modified to shoot blanks, a real amm shooting revolver won't.
You can get blank firing repros of autos that are pretty much identical to the real thing for relatively cheap- $150.00 to $200.00 bucks.
