Hey All -

Just wondering what that looks like these days. Finding precious little except out of stock. Sent some inquiries to Japan but haven't had any luck so far. Any other options?

It's looking like I may have to put my 3d printer back in service, so I can have a holster filler.

Best,

MG Props in UK occasionally restocks them, I think. But those are the caps version, not airsoft.

Need to keep searching. That is part of the fun.

Maybe I should just substitute the DL44 for the time being and see if anyone notices?

I do enjoy the hunt for gear as well! That great satisfaction when you finally find that piece that has been eluding your grasp for too long.

In Japan, and although I do have one, I'm always keeping eyes peeled for one if they come up...Recently though, nothing at all....Even the secondhand shops in Tokyo have nothing...A friend of mine here managed to get one about 2 years ago, in Japan I believe, (He's in Kyushu) but since then I've not seen much more...I managed to find a decent Browning Hi Power recently, a couple of years back, but since then, nothing close to Indy related at all...I'm sorry

Well for now at least, I've ended the search for this particular piece and my holster filler is a 3d print.

For the prices that some of these models go for I was hoping for some functionality and weight also.. I may end up looking for the genuine article one day and just spending the big bucks.

The Tanaka is also quite light weight. Loads of the weight comes from the bullets. It was a big drawback for me when I had one. I love a good heavy handgun replica. Even if is potmetal, it is metal nonetheless...

If you want a cheap close enough alternative you can go with the airsoft HG-131B HFC. It is not as heavy as the real thing, but it has the full functions of it.

Still mostly plastic, but it has some metal parts. Also the "bullets" are really cool and you can get spares that are actually an upgrade.

Still bummed I didn’t pick one up when Todd’s Costumes was offering them.

It's stuff like this that gives me FOMO for different props and just everyday objects... Too many times I missed the occasion to get my hands on things ....
