Oops, my bad. I've switched the pic, stolen it from a certain other thread
For my money, while LC was the gear that I've always fancied (as it was the movie that I enjoyed the most as a kid), I'm not too much a fan of the Webley come to think of it. For some reason it strikes me as too... chunky and post-modern I guess.
I think of Indy as more of a classic cowboy archetype (or maybe I just think of Han Solo as that, and that prejudice was carried over!), so that puts the Browning out of the running as well.
So by process of elimination, this narrows it down to the S&W and the Colt, and since the Colt doesn't get as much screen time, nor is it featured in two Indy films like the S&W is, I guess I'd have to go with the S&W!

if you can take a screen grab, look at Indy in the ship with Marion, it looks like he is racking the slide of a 1911, I gotta check that now....crud on stop action I can see the Browning slide crud crud crud....Castor Dioscuri wrote:Colt 1911... That's a gun I've got to get somewhere down the road...
That's the same gun that Bogart packs in Casablanca btw!
somebody needs to explain to that boy that they can be RELOADED!raider 57 wrote:My favorite will have to be the Browning HP. I've personally never cared for wheel guns........... and yea, I would imagine Indy could have accumulated a large variety of firearms on his adventures. Then again, he often discards his "picked up" weapons when finished with them. raider 57
