.22 Luger

Apparently it's a good year for The Producers. At least two local productions of it this Fall.

One's using an 8mm blank firing Walther P38, the closest thing I had in stock, but the other's got a really small space and felt the 8mm blanks were just too darn loud. At the same time, they didn't want to just use a sound cue and a non-firing Luger.

They were asking about .22 revolvers, and I decided I could give something different a try- this is one of the small starter pistols with a steel shell, copper pipe barrel, etc. built around it. Barrel is tapered because you have to be able to insert the magazine horizontally just under it. Vents a little out the front.

It's not pretty, but it works.


I know there's a company out there making 8 or 9mm blank firing Lugers, but they're pretty hard to find in the U.S. and would be too loud for some of these small theatres anyway.
