We already saw the S&W: M10 Military / Police .38 SPECIAL but this is the blank fire version.

I've seen this one in many UK websites. Here is one
http://www.modelguns.co.uk/m10military&police.htm
here it costs 210USD + shipping
http://www.endoshoji.com/model-guns/page038.html
Length: 240mm
Weight: 550g
Capacity: 6
Condition: Brand New
Built Material: ABS/ Metal
Cartridge Type: P.F.C/ 7mm Fire-Cap
Package: instruction menu/6 cartridge
4" barrel
S&W Markings and Logos
I think in this website they also have the MP40 blank-fire... for who wants to tell his dad not to call yourself Junior
And here you can read a detailed review of this gun

If someone already talked about it on COW I'm sorry but you know I don't attend this zone of the forum too much

Thank you

now, if I sell my air soft guns I could even think of getting a blank fire indy close enough gun. If I have to get a gun... it must be noisy!

What are the gun laws like in Italy, Erri?

Something like... you can keep them as long as you don't organize a robbery
I should check but by the way we don't need any document to own a blank fire gun. Trekkin lovers sometimes have them for close encounters of the third kind with wild dog packs.
Consider that we cannot buy guns in a supermarket like you do in the USA so theorically very few people have guns and so few limitations about them. Whatever doesn't really shoot bullet is considered sport weapon or toy (blank fire guns are not different). I can buy air soft guns as toys in any toy shop (they have red paint on them anyway).

Great find! Can that piece around the grip come off? It looks like it could, it would be one of the best "functional" replica out there if that piece does come off.

In the review that was posted, it listed all the metal parts of the gun. The finger groove attachment was on that list. The reviewer also stated that the gun needed to be periodically disassembled and cleaned. This makes me believe that the finger groove attachment can be removed. Now if a lanyard ring can be attached, it would look perfect.
I am sure some body around here will end up buying this gun. When they do, I am sure we will find out the answers.

Yea, it looks like a standard grips adapter. I'd say it can be removed without too much trouble.

I would so love to buy that blank-fire gun. I need to sell something to get those money, anyone interested in my two air soft guns?

Hey J_Weaver, I know you haven't seen this thing in person, either. But, what do you think the chances would be of adding a lanyard ring to this gun?

Almost exactly like we use at The Jungle Cruise!
The silver version is like ours!

I've modified a lot of air-softguns over the last 15 years and have yet to see a gun that couldn't have a lanyard ring attached one way or a the other. On this gun it should be a piece of cake, the handle will most likely be very similar to a real S&W handle.

Thanks, K. I figured they might be.

For a more professional answer...blank fire guns are classified for the Italian Law as "Acoustic Signal Instrument" which (for another paragraph of the law) can be assimilated to the definition of "toy guns". You don't need any licence to bring and to store them. They can be sold as normal toys since they are not weapons and they cannot be turned into weapons.
As a matter of fact b-f guns are sold normally on ebay-italy. If they were illegal ebay would have never allowed those auctions...
... I only need the money and I would get one of these raders guns close enough

We have lanyard rings on the ones at The Jungle Cruise. We have to keep them on the boats. I wish we could wear them in holsters on our hips!

My luck is that I don't have any vice but the gear

so I only spend money for that (and for my girl of course)

Yup, I agree. I couldn't say for sure, but I don't think it would be too hard to do. Of course, I'm also the guy that works on a pocket watch with a ball pein hammer.

What else would you use on a pocket wach
A ball pein hammer and a crowbar, the only two tools you'll ever need

Just like me... only I married my girlfriend
and got three daughters. That redirects a substantial amount of money in to shoe stores
