 |
|
Hope this is the right forum for this, however it isn't a prop, but definitely related to Blade Runner props!
Looks like the 'core' of Dekard's gun is back in production. The .44 Special Bulldog pug available in blue and silver, now with a "DAO hammer" option for that streamlined look. I heard this company filed chapter 11 several years ago! I guess they are back.
review (with regular hammer):

website's DAO version:

I've never shot a .44 special round before do they kick like .40 s&w? Man, I'd love to have a Blade Runner blaster I can take to the firing range! When I think of futuristic handguns, I think of the SOCOM

or this interesting russian gun

anyone know of any other futuristic handguns out there? |

Charter arms was bought by another company (Interarms I believe, or maybe Mil-Tech) and production started on new models of guns a few years ago. The hammerless models were available back in the day as well.
The new models are beefier and have better grips that the older ones.
Firing a 44 special is like firing a hot 357 load, but isn't quite as powerful as a 44 magnum. It's not like firing 40s&w at all. The guns CA makes ends to be light, so they have some kick to them. Nothing you can't control though.

I think the movies have done a lot to make people think that large calibers like the .44 and .357 have this massive recoil. Not to say it doesn't kick a bit, but its not going to break a wrist or anything like that.
