Looking for a 1940's pistol to use

[sbryan]

It would be used by a detective character. P38, maybe? How much do replicas cost (without firing mechanism), compared to a replica cap gun?

[MovieSwede]

Do you need any moving parts of the gun?

[sbryan]

It just has to look like it's firing. I'm thinking muzzle flashes in post would be cheaper...

i would use a colt 1911 replica (or if muzzle flash in post is the case, use an airsoft gun)
