Good research. Something I’d like to see changed, regarding the Indygear site about Bapty: https://www.indygear.com/igguns.html If you read the description when it gets to discussing the barrel, it puts forward a hypothesis that it had a later barrel swapped onto it. However, that’s not correct: wh...

Indiana Bond

This is pure speculation, but I personally think it likely that the Bapty gun came first, and that Stembridge took a commercial Model 1917 they had in inventory and shortened its barrel, and even gave the front sight a slight ramp. I think your assessment is right on the money. This was discussed a...

Indiana Bond

Here is another great contender for a modern-day Indy gun. Chambered in Indy's favorite .45 caliber and having a four-inch barrel, it is the perfect descendent to his original ROTLA S&W Hand Ejector. I present the Smith & Wesson Model 625-8 Performance Center Jerry Miculek 45 ACP Revolver!!...

With Disney owning the franchise I wouldn't be surprised if we never see him ever carrying or using any sort of firearm!!

Indiana Bond

How did you guys go about finishing the foresight to match the rest of the weathered bluing on your Bapty revolvers? Is that just cold bluing? Yep! I used Brownells Oxpho-Blue. It's a bit more "blackish blue" compared to some other cold blue that tends to be more "grayish green"...

Indiana Bond

I was just in contact with "lostinperiphery" regarding the wonderful Bapty sight reproduction he has just manufactured. He was kind enough to share with me the super hi-res Bapty images he acquired from The Prop Store while researching his project. So that we all can have a good source of ...

FWIW, my 4" model 10 (.38 K frame) doesn't fit badly in a standard Indy holster, really. You're absolutely right!! Just tried my 4" S&W K-frame 18-3 in my "Make it Jones" holster and it does fit very nicely!! Didn't realize it would fit so well. Might even use that setup to ...

Indiana Bond

Mark, Very nice K-frame .38 S&W!! Not sure why you couldn't have found a N-frame .455 or .45ACP (although they are harder to find) since you did find that very nice .38 S&W. It's not like you can find any vintage S&W revolvers laying around over here at Walmart either. ;) FYI there is a ...

Are the cartridge slots blocked by something for safety? Looks like there is something inside. Yes. Since this firearm came from England it had to be "deactivated" before it was sold so that it would be impossible to function and fire. During the filming it was still functional. Sadly tha...

OK I'll Play! I'm going to take the cinematic approach to this question. Just as they did in LC with giving Indy the Webley because it was big, unusual, and cool looking, I would imagine that the film makers may decide to take the same approach with a Modern Indy. My choice for Semi Auto would be th...

Two years late to the party but any updates to your "Stembridge Theory"?

I still haven't gotten around to doing my Stembridge conversion. That front sight is kind of hard to duplicate.

That BB gun looks pretty cool though. ATI makes a .22 rifle. I posted it several months ago in this thread- don't know if that'd be an option in Hawaii or not. The problem here in Hawaii is the 10 round magazine requirement and also that the magazine cannot fit outside of the grip. It is considered...

Nice!! Thanks for showing comparisons to the real MKVI. I can see where there would be problems in the larger and higher sights both in aiming and holstering.

Of course, none of this supports the auction notice that this gun was used by HF in the car chase. Exactly!! And that's the real issue here. They say it was used by HF in the car chase.
