What kind of sidearm does Reynolds carry? I knew at one point but forgot and can't seem to find out.

Do you have a link to it? I briefly scanned your site but I didn’t see it...

If you are in the UK, you can see these for real (including the Jayne`s gun) at the Fantable at the Birmingham NEC during the Memorabelia Event on the 13th & 14th - If you look in one of the threads, I posted some pics, here`s a pic again -

Jayne's revolver is indeed based on a LeMat revolver from the mid-1800's. It has a 9-shot cylinder plus a 16-guage shotgun barrel under the pistol barrel, but they don't use it in the series. The only real modification to it is that it has an accessory rail mounted on the top of the barrel and the original loading lever has been removed. When he fires it in the intro to "Our Mrs. Reynolds" you can see all the smoke it coughs because it uses black powder. Jayne's other pretty, Vera, is as far as I can tell, an extremely modified AK-47 with the stock removed, lots of accessory rails, an Aimpoint red-dot scope and a custom muzzle. Apart from Mal's gun, I can tell you what any of the other guns are or are based off of from Firefly. P.S. Only the replica, non-firing, LeMats are $49. A real one runs about $900 or so.

Ooooo!! A LeMat huh? Yeah...I wonder if it would withstand modern cartridges and powder? I'm not big into black powder guns, but my wall does look a bit like Jaynes...
Vera seems a little long to be a standard AK base...I think, in fact that it may be a Saiga 12 hiding underneath all that stuff. Look at the size of the magwell! Oh, and check out my post about Vera in the Episode forum. there's a link to my Saiga-12 theory.
Not a lot of money for a project like that though. Did you see how much it cost's to get a Mare's Leg '94 like Zoe's/Steve McQueen's?

If you want vera, just get as many mods as possible for a G36C or K with a ris system. Also if you want the gun the feds use [then mal and zoe] it too is a G36k Large foregrip with the G&P Scope mounted in the handle. I have a similar gun. A ton of the guns on FF are basic mods off of real [20/21st] steel.
If you want to see what I'm talking about do a search for 'airsoft.' or you can go to tons of different sites like www.quantumairsoft.com or

Zoe's gun is called a Maxi. Which is an old western 'saw'd off' 30/30 lever. And I thought Jane's gun was a Raging Bull, which is a targus. It has a rail on the top to mount the sight.
Mal's is a resin mod from what appears to be a colt single action army, only with a new center piece.

That would be nice, but you can't buy a real G36. Even if I could, it'd be cost prohibitive. I am dead certain that Vera is a Saiga-12. Check out this link: Jim Boland built this gun for the movie "Showtime". Look familiar?

Not to "out-gun" you here, but Zoe's peice is DEFINITELY the Mare's Leg, a cut-down Winchester model 92 used by Steve McQueen in "Wanted Dead or Alive". Originally chambered in .45 Colt, but you could easily build one in .30-30. Check out this article on it.

Jane's big revolver is a Raging Bull as you said, but the company that makes it is called Taurus (like the bull). They make many good revolvers.
And last, but not least, Mal's pistol, look's like it's based on the revolver half of the LeMat shotgun/revolver shown here:

This gun predates the Colt Single Action Army by several years. If you check out the SAA's frame and grip angle you'll see that it can't be the basis for Mal's gun. You're definitely right though..they replaced the cylinder in Mal's pistol with....something.
