I've never seen one in person, so have no idea how big it is. Can you show it next to, say, a Luger???

I get the impression that these are big...

Will do. In the meantime, from tip of the muzzle to end of the beaver tail, they're 9".

23 oz. Their grip frame is raked back a few more degrees than a Luger, like a Hi-Standard or similar.

Their ergonomics and balance are excellent...very comfortable to hold, and very "natural pointers."

Dana's toy shooter may actually be a larger caliber! I wish I hadn't seen that pic...now I have another quest!

Ha ha! Sorry!
They appear to be fairly common and only pricey in the original package, which to me would be a must-have just for the horrible package art!

Lol! No problem. The toy version was named after a ruminant instead of a snarling forest predator/scavenger!
