Sweet! One of the first guns I ever fired was an old Model 10. For pretty much any purpose one can imagine asking a handgun to realistically fulfill, they just don't get much better.

My use of the 8 footer is mostly dictated by the fact that I have my whips on stage a lot, either teaching stage combat or working them into various theatrical productions (right now, I'm training muleteers in Man of La Mancha). An 8 foot whip is really the longest practical length for stage work. I...

Either Alex Green's DVD Whip Cracking Made Easy (available from Western Stage Props) or Anthony De Longis's Whip Cracking with the Masters, or both, would be excellent additions to your video collection. They are both very good; if I were forced to choose one, it would probably be Anthony's.

Another way you can tell it's a Hi Power is by looking at the trigger when Mac appears as Indy and Mutt are climbing out of Orellana's tomb. Ray keeps his finger all the way forward in the trigger guard and you can see the Hi Power trigger very clearly.
