Hey guys! I just received my 2 first model guns yesterday (and my girlfriend is mad)
Wanted to share pictures of them.
I just got them so a review wouldn't be possible, but still you'll have my first impression.
Let's start with the Kokusai S&W M29 6" HW.

Kokusai S&W M29 6" HW  Tumblr_mt3tasArS21rpidqno1_1280
The M29 is well made and details are accurate despite the lack of S&W on the right side metal plate.
The painting is so-so but somehow, still convincing.

It's not the hyper polished blued finish you would wish from such a replica but the new old stock metal sparkle paint is still neat imho.

There was no 6.5" available (I could get) so I pulled the trigger on this 6" one. There's enough of Dirty Harry in it for my satisfaction.

The wood grips are surprisingly convincing despite their plastic feel.

...but this gap is very annoying. Does anyone have suggestions to fix this?

Thanks to the cartridges, The gun weight reaches a very impressive feel of realism.

Like I said, it's not a review. But I hope you've enjoyed the short ride. Smile

Thanks for the Beautiful Photos cosmitron Very Happy : This is one of my HW M29 in 8 3/8 inch barrel Very Happy ...

As I reckon - modelguns might not be extremely realistic but they are special & delicate in their own rights...there's just something about the Heavy Weight material...

Regarding the gap between the plastic grips: never seen it before so might try to rescrew your grips...otherwise get yourself a pair of exotic wood grips as real grips usually fits Kokusai revolvers without fail...

You're more than welcome Jim! I'm all for gun porn!
I just tried to fit my other S&W M29 replica's grips (with no gap on it) and I have the same gap. Might come from the gun itself. I'll see if I can get some wood grips and if I can mod them.

BTW, d'you have a gallery of your models? I'd like to see them. Razz

Ok! Just fixed the gap!!
On each side of the handle there's a small plastic tip at the bottom that goes in the grip.
On one side one tip still had excess plastic from the mold. Fixed it with a cutter.
I'm very happy. Very Happy

Little thing, but big impact :-)

M29 is a nice revolver model, good to hear you enjoy it!
Thanks for sharing photos, too, they eventually come handy.
