The Malcolm Reynolds Stunt Pistol is a non-firing, screen-accurate, highly detailed replica of Mal’s sidearm. It’s the only licensed, studio-approved replica available, and is a faithful re-creation of the iconic sidearm from the movie Serenity.
Quantum Mechanix's mold was taken directly from the stunt pistol carried by Nathan Fillion in his portrayal of Malcolm Reynolds. However, not being satisfied with just reproducing a simple cast of the pistol (the screen-used prop was a solid block of resin), QMx has broken down the pistol into separate steel- and bronze-colored resin parts to ensure perfect color separation and accuracy.
Once cast, the parts are infused with a high-quality metal bronze powder to better simulate weathering. Separate silver components – such as the trigger, trigger guard, hammer and screws – are infused with steel powder and weathered with a black dye wash.
The pistol is then put through a multistage staining and painting process that ages the replica and makes it look like the well-used sidearm it's supposed to be. Separately cast and stained resin grips are attached with Allen-head metal screws, faithfully re-creating the wood-grain look of the screen-used prop.
The paint used in making the stunt pistol is a chip-resistant polymer that is applied by hand onto each model, making it more durable and less likely to scratch or discolor with use.
The Malcolm Reynolds stunt pistol is cast in professional-grade resin and weighs approximately 1 pound, making it a great holster pistol for cosplay or display. The pistol comes boxed with a Moses Brothers Firearms Certificate of Authenticity with all manufacturer's specifications outlined and a license issued by the local authorities on Shadow that entitles the holder (there's a place to enter your name) to carry this sidearm, wrapped up in a sheet of Blue Sun butcher paper.
As an added bonus, the first 1,500 pistols will also include a rolled 14" x 17" poster with the Barlow's Guide to Small Arms entry on the Moses Brothers Self-Defense Engine Frontier Model B (that's the make of Mal's pistol).
