The Tanaka S&W .38 Square Butt Joker Model is patterned after the
2-inch Chief's Special with a squared butt. The revolver is extremely
detailed and exudes a classic charm. The brown faux wood panels on the grip
beautifully accent the jet black finish on the pistol and its short form
factor reminds you of all the detective movies one would watch from the
70s or 80s, not to mention that this particular model was based on the
one used by Joaquin Phoenix's Joker. This particular version has a "steel finish" making it quite realistic.
Tanaka has truly crafted a gem that, at first glance, looks as if it is a metal gun. However, this detailed finish can easily deceive even the keen-eyed among us, as the revolver is made of high-quality heavyweight plastic. Do not be fooled, though plastic, nothing about this gas revolver can be considered "cheap" as it carries a fair amount of weight and when paired with an assortment of metal parts, it certainly feels as if it's a metal gun. Metal parts such as the hammer, trigger, and cylinder give the pistol a real-life-like aesthetic making it not only a great choice for collectors but can even be used in film or cosplay as a prop!
The trigger on this gun is a joy as the double action is smooth and direct, pulling the trigger slowly feels buttery with no "grit" feeling at all. When the hammer is pulled back, the trigger breaks soft and the sound of the cylinder rotating exemplifies the effort Tanaka put in to make this revolver a standout.
