What do you guys think? The first picture matches the color and almost the style of the .45 ACP Hand Ejector 2 from Raiders which is pictured here: http://www.indygear.com/gear/guns.shtml

First gun is a smaller caliber than the second and also has 8 shots where the second gun has five. The first gun is 7 inches long with a 2 inch barrel, I'm not sure what the measurements of the second gun is. Both of these are starter pistols

What was the length of the original Raiders gun?

The original Raiders revolver had a 4 inch barrel. but for starter guns, those look great!

What about the length of the whole gun? The first one is 7 inches long, so would the Raiders be about 9 inches?

Something around there, yeah. I'm not possitive, so you should wait until someone who actually owns a S&W Hand Ejector shows up here.

I have had some experience with both of the blank guns shown. You would be much better off getting a resin copy of the S&W Hand Ejector.
Neither of these blank guns are of quality, both breaking easily. Also, they are far smaller then the real thing...Terry

I agree with Terry.

Yeah it's a good place holder I guess. But it looks to be a real small frame. Remember the HE is a N frame, the biggest they come in. (Mostly).

The length of the gun if you measure a line up from the end of the butt to match up with the barrel is a little over 9 inches I believe. (off memory).

They break easy under what type of usage? How's the sound? I'm not looking for something to use all the time I'd just like something to fill my holster, that actually sounds like a gun when fired, and is inexpensive. So an Airsoft and resin kinda stifles that.

I did come across this rubber Raider's replica gun, I don't know if it's the same as resin or not but for $80 I would surely hope it has some quality to it. Anyone ever bought from this site before?

I have bought whips, hard rubber stunt guns and blank guns from that site. The resin and hard rubber stuff is good for what it is. In other words it's made for distance looks. Up close the detail will be rougher than further away.
It's a decent price for an industry type replica.

Here's one of the nicer model guns out there...

Even though the Victory is a smaller K-frame gun in the wrong (.38 ) caliber, it's definitively got the Indy look going...

Yea, I've seen that one. Might as well buy a real gun for that price!

I am talking breaking before you ever fire a shot! The top picture appears to be the .22 cal model. They are normaly not working out of the box. The other model if memory serves is a .32 cal. The most we ever got to fire in those was about 25rds, before breaking
The revolvers involved are so not representive of the Indiana Jones Revolver due to size and basic appearence, that I can not imagine anyone using one for this purpose. Sorry. Keep looking......Terry
