Here's a pic from the new Indiana Jones movie coming out next year....

What kind of revolver does he have here?

Webly?

[jpwilly]

Webley & Scott British revolver MKVI six inch barrel hinged frame .455 caliber.

[tinygnat219]

What jpwilly said.

[armoredman]

One that is cocked, finger on trigger, pointed down. Bad form, there, Dr Jones.

[MASTEROFMALICE]

There's something frightening about a geriatric Indiana Jones.

I was watching this guy in the theaters 25, 30 years ago.

[GunTech]

Are you sure it's 455? It could be a 45 acp conversion. :)

Looks like a Mark VI, for sure

Hollywood and another original idea:barf:

Hey, I wish I was holding up as well as Harrison Ford!

It's amazing what makeup, proper lighting, and Photoshop can do.

It's amazing what makeup, proper lighting, and Photoshop can do.

That and just generally taking care of yourself over the years via staying busy, proper diet, a good exercise regiment, etc. The man is 65 yrs old, and even without such things as photo touch up and such, he looks remarkable...period.

Welcome back Mr. Jones.

[ZeSpectre]

That's "Dr. Jones" <grin>.

[geophysicishooter]

any word on whether Sir Sean Connery is going to make an appearance inthis one? I thought he was awesome as Dr Jones, the Elder.

"I named the dog Indiana."

[Bezoar]

connery wont be back as papa jones. Aparently said in a press release that he was to old for that kind of thing. Seems retirement is realy retirement in some places.

[ETCss Phil McCrackin]

One that is cocked, finger on trigger, pointed down. Bad form, there, Dr Jones.

Keeping in mind that this is Indiana Jones we are talking about, he probably has a pretty good reason for the finger on the trigger....

Sword wielding kali-worshipers and everything...

[roscoe]

That must be a publicity still. He is WAY too clean to be Indiana Jones in action.

[TimboKhan]

Don't forget to add that he has literally saved a couple of lives via his helicoptering skills. That has to add a little to the old Karma bank.

[DMZ]

It appears he is looking at a huge cobra. Remember his ophidiphobia?

I predict the seasoned Indy will utilize more whip and revolver and less fisticufs.

[Mossyrock]

Sorry, but it isn't a Webley MkVI...it's a Webley WG. Take a look at the polished blue finish and the length of the cylinder flutes. The WG is a MUCH rarer revolver fitting the status of such an eminent archeologist as Dr. Henry Jones, Jr.

A shop here in Lexington Kentucky supplied the the Jones Webley for the picture. There were several actually. Stand-ins I guess. And they were WGs.

Snakes.

They add the dirt in post (production), of course. :P

I hope they "wash out" the film and don't go with the whole "high definition" look. Yeah, it has it's place, but it's going to look like it's not Indiana Jones if they don't do it quite right.

As for Mr. Ford, I'd say he looks pretty good for 65. Not as good as my granddad did at 65, but pretty good none the less. :P Arguably, he's in better shape than he was in previous films - he's not such a "good, clean lifestyle" type.

Snakes.

God help us if they have "snakes on a plane" and there are adolescents/infantiles in the audience.

[def4pos8]

HEY!

Anybody that can control a "fling-wing" flyin' machine (That's a helicopter for those of you from Rio Linda!) and various other, mostly safe, fixed-wing aircraft is all right in my book.

That ol' boy's odometer passed the 500,000 mark some ways back down the road!

[6_gunner]

I'm just relieved to see Indy still packin' a revolver. I was afraid they'd give him one of those new-fangled self-loaders in the new movie. :uhoh:

I would have liked to see the Smith and Wesson from Raiders return. That was my favorite of the Indy guns.

[CZ.22]

Indiana Jones will always carry a revolver. It's part of his charachter- it adds to the cowboy/archeologist aura.
Besides, autoloaders jam in the prescence of holy relics.

[CAnnoneer]

It is a beautiful piece. Does any company manufacture new stainless ones in modern calibers?

[Sistema1927]

"It's not the years, it's the miles"

[Andrewsky]

Doctor Jones had a 1911 in Raiders of the Lost Ark when he was on the boat.

[Eightball]

The "Snakes" refrence made me laugh a bit.

I knew from the webbing that it wasn't our standard Webly, it was too.....different. It might just be there for it's aesthetics, just like there have been a recent number of pistols used for poster purposes which don't show up in the movie. (Forget one, but there was a recent movie for which a HK USP in the poster, and none made themselves known through the film).

[Trebor]

Doctor Jones had a 1911 in Raiders of the Lost Ark when he was on the boat.

Actually, it's a Browning High Power. Freeze frame when he works the action in his cabin. It's pretty obvious when you can take a decent look. He uses the same gun, along with his S&W Hand Ejector 2 revolver, in the bar fight.

For you Indy fans. A couple years ago I was hunting elk west of Center, Colorado and setting on a horse in the middle of a snowstorm my 9.3 MAUSER had ice and snow packed on the bolt and my Smith 629 Classic was packed with snow. I then decided I wanted a flap holster and my rifle went into a scabbard. I’ve looked around and couldn’t find a flap holster I liked. A holster I like is the Welby style that has the flap keeper coming from the side (Indy wears such a holster). Found a company in Ohio that makes such a holster http://www.ourbanditleather.com/id103.html I wish I could tell how I like it but it’s under the Christmas tree wrapped and my wife has dared me to open it. Something not right here I’m 61 years old and not allowed to look at my present.

[FLORIDA KEVIN]

hey i loved the Indiana Jones movies ! and i dont think i ever saw a Harrison ford movie I didnt like ! Plus the guy seems like a class act all the way across the board ! i will see it when it comes out ! Kevin

[Checkman]

You know it might also be one of the 45 Colt caliber Webley-Kaufmanns that were made for the U.S.Army field tests a hundred years ago.

I know it's already been posted that he's using a Webley-Green or Webley-Goverment, but wouldn't it have been cool if it was a 45 caliber Webley-Kaufman? Or even a Webley-Fosbery. Nobody uses them in movies anymore.

[Geronimo45]

God help us if they have "snakes on a plane" and there are adolescents/infantiles in the audience.
Indiana Jones and the Snakes of the Lost Plane! Starring Harrison Ford, Samuel L. Jackson, and snakes. On a plane.

Or even a Webley-Fosbery. Nobody uses them in movies anymore.
After Zardoz, who would dare? :p

[Silvanus]

Forget one, but there was a recent movie for which a HK USP in the poster, and none made themselves known through the film

16 Blocks with Bruce Willis ;) I'm sure you all know the annoyed looks when you complain about gun mistakes in movies from your friends:D

I loved the old Indiana Jones movies. I hope they don't include lots of special effects and computer stuff. That would really spoil it (for me at least).

That is hysterical. I must steal that.

[Skofnung]

As if I needed another reason to go see the movie, I love anything with the Webley name on it.

I'm also glad he's still carrying the man-purse.

[NORTEXED]

My MK VI I bought from an older gentleman 12-13 years ago for $75. Didn't have grips on it, and at the time, there weren't any aftermarkets like now. It is cut for .45 auto though, and I use very mild .45 AR in it (I have 3 boxes stashed just for it). I made the grips on a 1" belt sander at my Dads out of a walnut drawer front from a cabinet shop around the corner. Just wish it had the lanyard ring still. It's a fun gun to shoot, and reasonably accurate with swaged 250 gr. Colt bullets sized to .455.

I watch "ZULU" and enjoy Stanley Bakers Lt Chard reloading his between charges.

ps> If you like Webleys, how about a big bore Web, Webley actually chambered some in the .577 Trantor cartridge. :D

Maybe it won't be a good movie, but kudos to them for not giving him a Deagle or going all "Tomb Raider" on us. Apparently Mr. S. is even determined to avoid the "quick cut" style of modern action films in favor of traditional editing. BLESS HIM if that's the case. I can't stand quick cuts. Along with CGI the method has ruined most modern action films.

I wanted a flap holster and my rifle went into a scabbard

Hear him! All praise for FLAP HOLSTERS! I can't find them anywhere anymore. I blame CAS and too much floride in the water system. Everbody wants to be some quick draw expert. I want a fricking FLAP for my revolvers. Thanks for the link BTW. I'm all over that.

Maybe he's shooting at snakes!

Well, to pick nits he DID in fact use a BHP when he needed to lay down a lot of cover fire during the bar fight in the first film. But I think we can let a BHP or 1911 slide by.

Must be Antique and Modern Firearms

Well Christmas is over and I got to open my new holster (Indy\Welby style) from Our Bandit Leather http://www.ourbanditleather.com/index.html :). The workmanship and quality is excellent and fits perfect. Actually the holster was made for a 5" barrel but was made tade long so it also its my Model 57 6" barrel a little snug but I'm really satified. The Indy holster on their web site in oiled natural leather is actually mine. From the web site I'm considering the Tex-Mex style for the 1911. I highly recommend this company.

Have a good day.
