Just finished this commission for a fellow Firefly fan.

This is a replica of Zoe's rig from Joss Whedon's Firefly. The gun is the original hero Mare's Leg used in the show.

It's a substantial rig, about 7mm thick all over. The fore end clip was interesting to figure out. The inert cartridges are 45 Long Colt, the originals were 44/40 cal.

The buckle was cast from the original and I copied all the dimensions over. It's as close as I can make to an exact copy.

What do you think Tasha?

I'm a huge Firefly fan and love to see others as enthusiastic about it as me.

The piece is beautifully crafted.

Doesn't anyone remember Steve McQueen in Wanted Dead or Alive? You did a great job on the latest version of a classic firearm

David,

Zoe's gun and holster rig are a deliberate homage to Josh Randall's.

Joss Whedon says it's his favourite gun, ever.

Cheers,

Badger

Hey David, Thats exactly what I was thinking when I saw this rig. I was a bit to late for the original run of the show. But thank god for Netflix, I've seen em all now. Man I love westerns. To bad ole Steve isn't with us anymore, he made some good ones.

And Badger, Thats some excellent work. really like to worn vintage look it has. Very impressive and thanks for shaing, James

Simply this is my favorite gun and holster of all time~~~~~~

Living in CANADA unfortunately leaves me in a predicament that I am unable to holster this type of firearm legally and is unable to be fired anywhere in CANADA except at the gun range (where you can not holster a firearm nonetheless).

This is the only reason I would love to live in the USA.....

Tony,

It's a chopped Rossi 92, Winchester clone.

It has a saddle ring on the left side of the receiver block. The ring slips over a hook at the top of the 'slab' section and the spring clip retains the fore end. If you walk around with it, you need to tie it into the clip with a thong, just to be sure.

Gina Torres wore the rubber stunt version in the rig more often than not.

Much lighter :thumbsup:

Cheers,

Badger
