About Tanaka Model Gun
The Tanaka S&W M36 is patterned after the 3-inch J Frame revolver. The revolver is extremely detailed and exudes a classic charm.  The brown wood panels on the grip beautifully accent the jet black finish on the pistol and its short form factor reminds you of all the detective movies one would watch from the 70s or 80s!
Tanaka has truly crafted a gem that, at first glance, looks as if it is a metal gun.  However, this detailed finish can easily deceive even the keen-eyed among us, as the revolver is made of high-quality heavyweight plastic.  Do not be fooled, though plastic, nothing about his M36 can be considered "cheap" as it carries a fair amount of weight and when paired with an assortment of metal parts, it certainly feels as if it's a metal gun.  Metal parts such as the hammer, trigger, and cylinder give the pistol a real-life-like aesthetic making it not only a great choice for collectors but can even be used in film or cosplay as a prop!
Shooting the gun is a joy as the double action is smooth and direct, pulling the trigger slowly feels buttery with no "grit" feeling at all.  When the hammer is pulled back, the trigger breaks soft and the sound of the cylinder rotating exemplifies the effort Tanaka put in to make this revolver a standout.
The M36 is cylinder-loaded with a loader, the shells are not removable.  This allows for a higher capacity, 10 rounds, and you don't have to worry about losing shells.  The hop-up is fixed and is perfectly designed to work with HFC134a or duster gas.
