Update:

I just paid for it. With shipping it was just short of $280. Not bad considering I just made $65 on eBay, got paid $100 for a sound tech job that lasted 45 minutes, and will be getting another $65 when I send back the Wilco Mal pistol model I ordered that's taken almost a month to get here >:O

I'm kind of excited.

I can. It does exist because I handled one yesterday :-)

It is not a type 47 (as far as I know) as it did not come with the case, holster and fake rounds, but in all other respects is damn near identical and as close to the actual "hero" prop from Firefly as possible. This is because it is hand made by the guy that is lucky enough to own the original "hero" prop. It is correctly weighted and balanced, has the removable magazine (With fake rounds within (not removable I think), a moving (but not "action") trigger and moving (but not "action") safety. It is a very serious piece of sh....iny goodness :-)

While I really like my QMX replica, this one is something else and with all due respect, makes the QMX one look and feel inferior in direct comparison. But the QMX one is official, much more affordable and certainly more readily available. It's probably the best of the Serenity pistol replicas (until they eventually do the metal "hero" replica that's been rumored for ages) and is very nice in itself.(This brass Firefly one is very rare and was not generally available as far as I know)

It's gorgeous.

We actually featured a very technical article about Mal's gun from a knowlegable fan back at the start of season 4 of The Signal.

The Model 47 is no longer being made, as far as I know. The last one that was sold between collectors went for over $1,000. I've heard rumors, though, of a Model 47a being produced. It will be cast in fewer pieces and therefore will cost less, maybe around $600-700. But who knows......

If you want to assemble and paint the gun yourself, you could go with the Sidkit Mal pistol. It runs about $250. There are some for sale on iOffer right now. Just search for "Firefly gun" and it should show up.

is it metal and as heavy as the all metal one that requires no assembly? But I also dont think i can paint it correctly or assemble it correctly

I ordered the Sidkit one and am expecting it by the end of next week. The instructions that I have are VERY thorough with pictures and everything - I'll let you know how complicated it is - I'm not crafty at all, but I think I can do this one.

Update:

It arrived, and it's done! It actually came mostly put together, which was kind of nice. I had to take off the sight to pop out the orange stopper, and it was a real pain getting it back on. Had to put in the cartridge, the back pieces with the safety, and the "special buttons" as the directions called them. Also had to put the barrel and sliding sight in. MAN is it heavier than I thought it would be! Anyway, here she be!
