The first picture, the stainless pro raptor, was the most beautifully made pistol I ever owned, it was better built and machined than any real steel pistol I had ever had. It was not a Co2 pistol when I purchased it, and never worked well on the small 1911 gas mag it came with. In the end I had it converted to Co2, then it worked well. The quality of the steel was fantastic. The same guy made my Desert Eagle. Can we see the Desert Eagle please? New thread on Eagles would be nice!

Build quality is exceptional, seriously it’s probably a better quality than the real steel. But, and it’s a big BUT, the price tag for that quality £2;500.

Come again, is that two thousand, five hundred pounds.................sterling? Surely you meant Iranian Rial and pressed the £ sign by accident?

I do shoot it, it’s extremely accurate. Runs on green gas, as long as the mag is warm. Being a large mag really helps as well. It would have been nice if he built them to run on Co2, but all his builds are standard gas. He only makes a few of each model. Believe he did 2 like this, 2 the same in blued steel, then the same with the extended barrel version. It’s an extremely heavy pistol. I have shot the real thing but only in .357 mag, never a .44 mag or as this would be a .50AE. I don’t remember the real thing being so heavy, but not sure, it wasn’t mine and I only shot it one detail. Very nice to shoot in .357, they were factory loads as well, much less recoil than firing through a revolver.

I've shot the real thing .50 in Florida years and years ago, it's a proper lump!

He prices them in Hong Kong dollars, but it was £2500 plus postage when converted

If you saw it and handled it, I think you would be very impressed. Everyone at my clubs had a look, they just say wow.
