Looking to get a 9mm prop gun that looks as close to the real thing as possible. ANyone recommend a brand? I've recelty purchased a 9mm airsoft (silver back) but when i pull the trigger the top piece doesn't JOLT back like a real NINE.

Want the character to jolt the top piece back to disengage one of the muzzle bullets.
:huh:
 
How much money do you have to spend? For what you are looking for you might want to try renting a prop from Movie Gun Services

Their website says they have pistols with working slides, but they cannot be modified to fire (blanks or live rounds). I have never worked with this company, so I can't say anything about their quality or cost.

Purchasing a prop weapon like this is going to cost you about $100 on the low end.
 
The jolt you're talking about is blowback. There's a bunch of websites out there on Google.

There's always gun-related questions in the directing topic. If you're looking for an answer for a PROP gun (especially when PROP is in the subject line), you'll get alot better play in the Special Effects/Stunts topic.

And, amazingly, even though this is the wrong topic to post it in, there's already a thread about gun props on the same page in the directing forum.

not so much about directing: buying prop guns

Use the search bar in the Special Effects topic, and you'll find a bunch of prop-gun related threads (even a helpful sticky at the top of the page):

They have gas operated blowback airsoft guns that look and function the part. They even have a decent little pop to them. If you opted for one with a mock silencer on it you could probably pass the "pop" off as a silenced pistol without sound effects. Places like www.redwolfairsoft.com or www.airsoftextreme.com are a couple of good places to look. They aren't super cheap, but they will last and you can use them on more than one production. I haven't priced them, but I be you could spend as much renting one from a "prop" house. Just my .02
