I've never shot her, but I know from the previous owner, a friend of mine, that she runs.

It's satisfying to share it with a group who appreciates it. No matter how I describe the pistol, most people just don't appreciate its factual or fictional history like we do.

Re: Share your Indy Guns!
So in the spirit of America, and Indy guns I have added another 1911 to my stable. Stable being even more appropriate because this one is a Colt. Not the same finish we see on the 1911A1 in Crystal Skull, but a very close replica aside from finish.
I present to you, my new Colt Mark IV Series 70.

Technically yes. But the other one I had, I was begged by my friend to sell it to him so I sold it to him. He didn't have a 1911 in his collection.

Re: Share your Indy Guns!
Thanks! I also tailored it toward one of my favorite video games. So I can go from Old School Indy style to Hitman by changing the grips. I much prefer the classic look of the walnut of plastic checkered type but to change it up this is fun.

Okay. Since I cosplay and do charity events and things for kids, most of my guns are just toys. The nicest thing I have is a Denix Webley Mk IV with a holster from the World War Store. I also really like the Dollar General revolver I repainted and shortened the barrel on and put with a very old holster. The orange and blue gun I let kids handle/wear when appropriate.

Thanks! i eyeballed it against some blueprints and photos. Scale-wise, it is 99% 1:1. It is still a WIP, as I need to continue to add little bits here and there, but it serves it's purpose right now! BTW- it's about a pound in weight- mostly foamboard, adhesive foil, corrugated plastic and a pipe from a flushing assembly for a toilet.ChrisMD wrote:That Thompson is sweet!

ChrisMD... AWESOME 1911 !! Beautiful piece !!! Congrats !! I'm working on a Gold Cup right now, that's an older model if I'm not correct ?? What year ??
Re: Share your Indy Guns!
Here's my FEG hi-power clone wearing some new grips. Well, newish- I bought them several years ago but they required a ton of filing to make them fit. Still working on the right side to get it flush.

Great looking pistol. I had the exact same issues with mine and wood grips. Took some work but eventually, a happy ending.

Re: Share your Indy Guns!
BEAUTIFUL. I look at the Luger as "the one that got away". One day I some money left in my pocket after selling my Japanese sword collection. I had some great ones too. One from the 1300s, 1500s and one from the 1700s. Sold them all at the antique arms show in Allentown, PA and had a few grand sitting in my pocket. I had the intent of procuring the nicest standard P08 I could find. I had a few I was mulling over then the unimaginable happened. I for some reason thought it would be smart to save that money and use it for bills. So that's what I did. I am still disgusted with myself!

Re: Share your Indy Guns!
Oh no! If you own no other gun, make it a Luger P08.
They are just an incredible piece of precision engineering & history.

Oh trust me, I'm on the hunt. I did find a company that makes a REALLY cool mini Luger in .32. Of course I forgot who, and another one I shoulda snagged. Had a chance to pick one up for $200 but had JUST gotten another 1911. It was the neatest little pistol though.

Re: Share your Indy Guns!
Yea, cool, but personally I'd stick with a WW2 or earlier P08. The Mauser built ones are considered the best for reliability. I do have WW1 era DWM which is shooter grade that is incredibly accurate and a joy to shoot. And there are so many variations to collect. It's a world all of itself and I recommend going to the Luger Forum http://www.lugerforum.com to learn more, another great community of folks.ChrisMD wrote:Tinplatejeff wrote:Oh no!

That's the plan. The mini was just a neat conversation piece. Right now I have the Luger behind an M1 Carbine on my list but if I come across the right P08 I'll jump on it.
Anyone else interested in the semi auto MP40 that ATI will be releasing? I plan to get one of the pistol versions and SBR it eventually. I know we've brought it up, but it was ATF approved in Feb and I can't wait until they start shipping.

Re: Share your Indy Guns!
Oh, don't remind me of a MP40. When I was in college back in the early 90s a friend of my dad's had a MP40 he wanted to sell us. It's belonged to his brother who had brought it back at the end of WW2. We looked at it, but it had been deactivated, so my dad said we were not interested in it. At the time I had no idea how rare even a deactivated one was. I get sick every time I think about it getting away.

Re: Share your Indy Guns!
This is my attempt at Indy's gun. It's a S&W Model 10 with mods to make it look pretty close to Indy's gun. It's not perfect, but I didn't wanna do any permanent modifications to my pristine S&W.

Not exactly an Indy gun, but cool (and expensive) nonetheless. Would have been cool to see this in a late WWII Indy adventure...

Re: Share your Indy Guns!
Another one I am anxiously awaiting. If I can get industry pricing on one I'll definitely pick one up. If 7.62x39 mags look close enough to the 8mm Kurtz that's what I'll do. Similar ballistically, and dirt cheap to shoot.

A Canyon sized gun
Lara Croft guns, Canyon sized gun and mini gun
And finally, the smallest gun of all...the Toys McCoy Indy gun.

I was given this "Legends Parabellum Pistole P.08" Luger BB gun today by a friend. It's kinda cool: life-size, metal construction, with some heft to it.
