Re: A Modern Day Indy Gun?
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!!

They wanted him to have a 1911 backup, but used a hi power because the 9mm blanks were more reliable and it looked close enough. So how about a double stack 1911?
Fir a revolver eithe an updated smith and Wesson or a Ruger GP100 or sp101

1911 or a Browning Hi-Power. 9mm was more easy to find around the globe than .45 so a case could be made for either.
Alternatively if Indy was contemporary in that he was 35ish in 2023 then him not being a pistolero he would likely choose a Glock (God forbid) or Smith Model 19. They are garden variety, reliable, field grade sidearms.

Re: A Modern Day Indy Gun?
Seeing how Indy was partial to U.S. and British Army issued handguns in both 9mm and .45 calibers, I would say still the Colt 1911, and Browning hi power. Also to include Beretta 92F, and the Sig M17. As for a revolver? I would say it would still be a Smith & Wesson with 4" barrel.

Modern Indy would totally use a surplus Beretta M9

How about the Springfield Armory SA-35?
A Hi-Power clone with a few adjustments here and there.

I don't think stainless steel is Indy's style, but you're getting close.
The S&W Model 1950/Model 22/Thunder Ranch .45 is an updated M1917.
