Only in America would they try to sell a $600 non-firing replica of a $2 gun.

But if you call in the next 15 minutes will double your order, that's right TWO $2 dollar POS non functioning pistols for the amazing price of $600

Even Billy Mays would have a tough time selling this one.

You forgot the oriental bamboo steamer and the ginsu knives. Plus the clapper. Or maybe just the clap, which seems preferable to having to own this thing. You couldn't even sell it England. ;)

You know, in thinking about this pistol, I started thinking the only way to own one was to keep it unloaded and locked away, if not also partially disassembled.  Then, when needed, it was loaded and because extremely unsafe and dangerous to even capable shooters.

Then I realized that THIS is probably the impression  hoplophobes have of ALL firearms....

This one IS dangerous just sitting on a table loaded and ready.  Any shock to the table could tumble the gun to the floor and cause a discharge.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

The same could be said for Sarah Brady and Chuck Schumer. Still, I'd pitch in to buy them both one from the board.

Though our reproduction is sold as a firearm and exceeds the mechanical strength of the original through the use of superior materials and vastly tighter chamber and headspace tolerances, WE STRONGLY ADVISE CUSTOMERS NOT TO FIRE THE PISTOL. During production in 1942, several examples were taken from the assembly line to test under repetitive fire. Reports indicated that after 50 rounds of service ball ammunition the testers felt the weapons were no longer safe to fire. They were simply never designed handle a steady diet of powerful .45 ACP. They were made to fire ten rounds. They are what they are.

Am I wrong here, or does this pistol have Lawsuits! written all over it?
"I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do this to others and I require the same from them"

Its the only gun in history that took less time to produce as it did to load.

It was designed to sneak up behind the guy and put a bullet in his head and take his gun... you only need to do that once.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.
