I found a place that had resin kits, and I snatched 2 of 'em up!
I am gonna make these look SO pretty!!!! Just like in Serenity (they're Firefly-style at the moment).
You can get 'em here:

Note, it comes in ONE piece, not the three as described. But it's pretty full of detail (y'know, for a resin reproduction. They do need some fancy work to be shiny).

Okay, a little simple research shows this gun to be fairly accurate in general lines, but gorram terribly lacking in the details. I just bought a whole passel of work for myself. 
But I WILL make it shiny!! I swear by my pretty floral bonnet!!

That is a pretty reasonable going rate for the QMx BDM Serenity Mal pistol,
at least until recently.
There is a lotta-lotta-lotta info out there about the various Mal pistols
and how they compare to each other, and to the original Mal pistols.
The pistols you bought from MIM are basically recasts of the fan-sculpted Wilco,
so they are a generation removed from what was an interpretive piece to begin with.
You can still build them into a decent representation of a Mal pistol,
but the QMx Serenity Mal is probably the most common, accurate Mal pistol.
I've posted all this info and considerably more, in many threads here,
on www.fireflyprops.net
the replica prop forum, www.therpf.com
(which I've seen you post your BSG Vipers on)
and the www.serenitymovie.net site.
I see many people pay ridiculous sums for inaccurate, often outright horrible, Mal pistols, while other times excellent versions like the phillipes and Sidkit slide under the radar for nearly nothing.
Good Luck on your builds,
Mike
