A seriously "close-enough" Indy revolver

Post by Scandinavia Jones »

This one I would consider for holster-filling purposes:

And it shoots blanks, no pesky BBs... :wink: sure, the Victory is a smaller K-frame gun, but it definitively has got the look... 8)

I used to own an original Victory. When I laid it next to my N frame model 29, they were identical in outline, though the Victory was about a quarter smaller than the N....so you're absolutely correct. Without an N frame along side for comparison, they're definitely an Indy gun. :D

It looks like a good replica, very sharp and crisp in the details. Expensive though :?

Wow, I bought a real nice model 10 a few years ago at a local pawn shop for $150! (one that will put real holes in things).

Indiana G,

Can you post the link for your source of the BB gun and maybe a picture?

Thanks,

I have a few grey/silver bb that looks somewhat like bullets when chambered. I keep the Tanaka gas-empty but have six grey bb's in the drum.

I have had a chance to look at the http://www.modelguns.co.uk/s&w_victory.htm gun and it's very well made, not a lot of metal but high grade plastic with very nice detail, the bullets are definitely the coolest feature, you just cant resist emptying it and reloading it.
A good buy and it can be treated like my Tanaka was here

Already did it to the one I saw. Here's the result, the grips are vintage wood grips.

Not sure about the tanaka, but my HFC FBI issue will fit some actual rounds, not sure what size. I had some rifle shells that I had gotten from a friend years ago that I cut down and put some putty in the end. They fir great and looked great.

my source is a funny story. i e-mailed this modelling company here in calgary, alberta canada in regards to the gun (as it is nearly impossible to get an air soft of your chosing unless you are a member of an airsoft gun club). prior to this i've tried all of the other local and out of town airsoft clubs with no success.

i received a reply from this company i found on the web and it turned out to be from a gentleman that i've already been doing business with in my professional life. he has a contact in toronto who brings guns in for a airsoft gun club so he got them to add my gun to their next order. this was done in october ( :shock: i thought AB's had a long wait).

i do not think my contact could help you in the states. i believe you have a much larger marketplace to get these guns. just search your local airsoft supplier. they can probably get it in easier than a canadian retailer.
