I just, recently, purchased a non-electronic, 3D, solid RESIN printed ST-Discovery Phaser II pistol, from Etsy that is of the highest collectible/collector prop quality workmanship'craftsmanship, from a gentleman model/prop maker/hobbyist, from either Switzerland or Norway ( I am from the Northeast U.S. ), who made a very limited edition, 3D print run of these. The prop was 3D printed on a 3D resin printer made for liquid resin and was carefully cleaned up and worked over, after the initial printing, and was very well detailed and given a professional 3 coat automotive paint job ( coat of primer with two coats of matte black, metallic gold and silver ). This is one beautiful PHASER prop This PHASER prop has plenty of tactile features, like some turning dials and turning front emitter nozzle ( to turn to all three different beam emitters ), all with the help of very strong magnets. Turning forward side body dials and working ( turn up or down ) trigger safety on/off switch. A solid resin P1 hand PHASER, that is removable, but, sadly, no working dials or flip up scanner on this fan made prop. The PHASER II handle grip power pack is removable and is held inside the grip with, again, strong magnets! Another unfortunate, none of these props have any sort of working ( spring loaded? ) triggers. The triggers, themselves, are just static, non-moving components/elements. Despite no lights or sounds, this ST-Discovery PHASER has both tactile removable and moving parts which make this collector prop quite interactive. It comes with a customer designed and resin 3D printed display base that holds the entire PHASER, in place and can display some separate, removable parts of this ST[Discovery PHASER. In addition this prop came with another, separate, fully 3D resin printed, worked and painted/detailed P1 hand PHASER, so you can display a P1 hand PHASER separately, on the display without having to remove the P1 PHASER that is still attached to P2 PHASER pistol prop! Brilliant! 10:22

Thanks for watching my video. The P-1 on the Discovery phaser is a bit 'clunky' but overall the Discovery phaser is a very nice design. Yours sounds like it'll be a really cool display piece. Enjoy...

@@scifi_dragon I, actually, like the Discovery P1 hand PHASER!. I like the size and the weight/heft of thIs model/prop piece, as well. And, the two level indent/split planes/surfaces,on the bottom side, of the Discovery P1 hand PHASER, is a good location for the trigger and that bottom split level/planes/surfaces are very similar to the ST-TNG small “cricket” style hand PHASER, which has this similar bottom, split level planes/surfaces. Believe it or not, the TNG small “cricket” style PHASER is almost the same length, width and thickness ( height ) of the ST-TOS P1 hand PHASER. It is only the design of the TNG “cricket” PHASER that makes it look and feel smaller, but it really isn't as small as ST fans state. If you have an accurately scaled TNG “cricket” ( to my eyes, looking at the design, the TNG small hand PHASER looks and sits more like a Praying Mantis ) PHASER, compare that to a TOS P1 to confirm the size similarity.

Really nice quality stuff. 15:00 favorite design, based on a Glock?

[@scifi_dragon]

Hmm... Not sure what you're referring to. I don't think any Trek weapons look much like a Glock.

@@scifi_dragon the "Assault Phaser" that was based on a Beretta handgun..? The safety catch would be a way to figure out what model Baretta. The long magazine is a giveaway.

[@markfergerson2145]

@@mrwoodandmrtinIt was apparently based on the Beretta 92F.

[@mrwoodandmrtin]

@@markfergerson2145 Ahh, good to know. As soon as I picked that phaser up, I could tell it was based on a real gun by the way it fit in your hand. Moust prop ray guns don't get that right.
