The Tanaka S&W M36 2-inch Square Butt Travis Model is patterned after the 2-inch Nickel finished Model 36 with faux ivory grips that are featured in the 1976 hit movie "Taxi Driver", by Robert De Niro who played Travis Bickle in the film that wields this revolver. This revolver by Tanaka is a faithful replica of the famous gun used in the movie hence the name "Travis Model".
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 so as such you can actually see your own reflection on the gun which is very impressive! 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 Travis Bickle from the film!
The operation of this model gun is a joy as the double action is smooth and direct, pulling the trigger slowly feels buttery with no "grit" feeling at all. The trigger breaks nicely and its reset is crisp and very positive, leading to the sound of the cylinder rotating readying the pistol for the next shot. This exemplifies the effort Tanaka put in to make this revolver stand out.
Please note that this is a non-firing model gun.
