i was speaking in general, spidey. otherwise i would have mentioned names.
yes the clipper is wrong, and i'm glad i know now that it is the wrong one. but i made my findings public, to start a discussion if this could indeed be the one or not. and based on the poor info available it could have been the correct piece. so i can now concentrate on finding the correct piece.
i'm glad someone was able to clear this up. but just looking at the double trigger guard, i'm sure a few people in this world and other forums knew about that feature. i didn't until i compared the clipper with the poor pic i had from the movies/sidearm/holster pic. the point i'm getting it, is that if i would have known that for a while, i could have corrected other builders, and say hey, that trigger guard needs to be double not single type, in attempt to strive for accuracy. isn't that's what it is all about? let's say i know a certain thing about something, and nobody else has proof but me, and i would claim this is how it has to be, how could i proof other people wrong, if i wouldn't release my findings and back up what i'm saying!?
this topic was started to find out about the real deal, like what almost 30 years ago that the movie aired. at this time we still have a shot at finding stuff out there, like nemrod holsters for example, and i'm sure that sidearm will pop up eventually as well. but how long should one wait to clear things up? another 20 years? fat chance finding anything then.
and i don't think my post reflected a "poor form". cause there is also a lot of folks at lfl holding infos back.so if you think i attacked you, than that is what you believe, but i certainly did not point anything into your direction.
it is my only attempt to uncover the mistery about the sidearm. and i don't need to be the one finding this missing/unknown item. i'd be happy for anybody else to step forward and present us with the facts. i'd applaud if this piece surfaces. as it makes the hunt for a lot of fans easier. and that's what the entire topic is about, exploring and finding the darn thing. nothing else. and there are no personal sentimentals involved here. just trying to get to the point of the issue, what sidearm was used. if it was carved out of a piece of wood, if it was a spear gun, or air pistol, who cares. but i would like to see the real piece. that's all.
