Due to some minor confusion I have to ask.
I was understanding that the term "replica" is associated with non firing, perhaps cap only firing, show piece/prop and reproduction is associated with fully capable copy of firing firearms. Wutsup?

That may be the technically correct definition of the term replica firearm that I found, that a replica is a dummy or non-firing gun.
I found that on a UK Firearms Law page.
In common usage, its meaning may not be as crystal clear to the uninitiated.
I think that it took me a while to understand the distinction as used on most forums, that reproductions are guns meant to be fired while replicas usually aren't.
And the meaning of the word replica may have also changed from years ago too adding to the confusion.

Thanks. That's the way I understood it from some reading.

Ruger357, the lighting in your photo made the top Ruger (blued one) look like a "Ruger Open-top," ...if such actually existed.
