The first couple of times I fired a pistol I was shocked at how bad I was at it. It's one of those things that you just assume is primarily mental - aim and fire. I can hit a target reasonably well now (3 out of 4 times, usually) at a medium distance with a revolver, but anything else and it's just ...

Whack it with your keys. Scratch at it in little bits with your fingernails. rub some water on it, let it dry. Take a little bit of motor oil (like a teapsoon) and put mix it with about half as much rubbing alchohol, and spray the holster with it, using a spray bottle (pick one up in the hair-care s...

I think Indy would have worn one of the Stauer watches. I love those.

Any chance you can post a pic of either of them? I might be interested.

I looked for the twill pants and found 'em. They're pleated (not sure if that's right) but the color is really top-notch, and they feel great, too.

Who'd have thought that Wal-Mart would yield so many treasures?

How much does a wested raiders coat run in horshide? I think that I'll go by in person the next time I'm in London, it sounds like the way to go about it...

Nice, but pricy - that's a hundred dollars for us yanks.

It's pretty hefty - a four-inch barrel magnum, heavily modified to look more like an Indy gun.

And is it todd that makes the great bag strap, too? someone does, for 20$...

Mine arrived today - it's fantastic! It had to stretch a little to accomodate that airsoft (which is pretty hefty) but I think a day or so in the holstor and it'll be a good fit. The web belt is great, too... I just can't get over the quality of these things at such a low price - thanks SO much, Tod...

I picked up the gloves with the leather a few days ago, and actually removed it today, just trimming the thread holding it with an exacto-knife. After rubbing in some color, you don't even see the stitch marks (thanks Todd for the great distressing tutorial). They didn't have any sans palm grips, ma...

I'm from Kentucky. The weapons laws there are not what you'd call strict - up until recently, fully automatic weapons were prohibited, but no longer. I think that active grenades may be illegal, but I'm not sure. Basically, the way it works in the bluegrass state is that any weapon is legal provided...

Yeah, mine's Mexican, too, but it's all leather (no rope core), albeit of a rougher finish, except for the (presumably) wooden handle inside the bottom.

Mine wasn't ebay, but I liked it a great deal when I saw it.

Mine had 2 extra falls, each about 2 1/2 feet long, and I cut them off... it works much better now, in my opinion.

You're from Raleigh? I lived in Cary for a summer, my sophomore year.

Does anyone speak czech, or know the exchange rate?

I'd buy from that site, if I can figure it out...
and the real henry, I don't know of any place that you can order it... there are none in the states.

Oh, yeah, I love it... may I suggest something? Get some flat black spraypaint and a paper towel... spray the handle and then wipe it off quickly, in the direction of the wood-grain. This will make it look much more real. As to the guns, all the others that they offer cost right around $30, so I'm g...

These are definitely spring-loaded. No gas or batteries required. I have another by the same company and it is spring loaded. The hammer only requires the thumb to cock it, but it is pretty heavy - you can't fan the hammer like in the westerns. It's about as powerful as the luger (if you've got the ...

In the "Todd's Holster" thread I mentioned the airsoft revolvers, but I don't want it to go too off-topic, so I'm going to show them here. http://myspace-844.vo.llnwd.net/00236/44/88/236818844_l.jpg I scanned the box - as I said before, these two are not, as far as I know, available in the...

Thank you, everyone... out of panic I ordered a dorfman yesterday so that I'd be sure to have one... I'll do my best with the reblocking tutorial. Thanks everyone, especially Jerry.

Calico, could you please post a link to that revolver, if there is one? Thanks. http://cgi.ebay.com/New-M-19-Airsoft-Gun-Spring-4-Barrel-Revolver-Pistol_W0QQitemZ7184743224QQcategoryZ62121QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem It's definitely got some flaws... I cut down and filed around the barrell...

Up until now, the always generic "large" has fit me like a glove with anything from j. peterman and many period hats (i.e. top hat, derby). In terms of actual hat size, I'm afraid I don't know.

I need it by around October 20th or so.

Okay, as I've already spent lots on various props recently, I do not have the sufficent budget to afford a great hat... namely, $50 is about as high as I can go, including shipping. My last fedora (a j. peterman with a custom ribbon) has gotten too threadbare to hold its shape anymore, regardless of...

I'm gonna be carrying an airsoft revolver in mine, which has about the same weight and exactly the same size as a real one... I'll let you know how that works, as a rough guide.

I ordered mine yesterday... biting my nails in anticipation of its arrival.

I have some serious questions about this, too. One - I have a whip that I love, but the color is a little light for my tastes. I'd be concerned that any sort of dye submersion would weaken the whip. What's the best way to actually treat it? Secondly, it is finished leather but it does not have that ...

My wife HAS a sweing machine, and won't use it... think about it, if she learns how to sew, she can help you make gear/costumes.

My bag was my bookbag through my last two years of college. Although I never wore the hat, I was told that I looked like Indiana Jones a lot (leather jacket, khakis, some type of safariish shirt or another).
