Deckard's Pfläger-Katsumata Series D 5223
Guns of Stage & Screen

In the film Blade Runner, Deckard carries a pistol called a Pfläger-Katsumata Series D 5223 - a name created by the fan community to have the initials "PKD" after Phillip K. Dick, who wrote Blade runner's source material (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep). What we are looking at today is an extremely realistic recreation of the prop gun used in the filming. Like the movie original, it was made from a Charter Arms .44 Special revolver so that it could actually fire blank rounds during filming. The other major element of the gun is the receiver form a Steyr SL bolt action rifle - the Steyr receiver is attached to the top of the revolver, complete with bolt handle. A second dummy trigger was added to mimic the look of the double set triggers offered on the Steyr, and a number of additional bits were added to give the final creation a more sci-fi look.
Many thanks to Phil for loaning me this very cool piece to show to you! I thought it would be interesting to take a look at how prop guns are often created from real guns.
