Thank you both.
The pistol has it's own story. I asked a friend (Dutch on forum.soaringhammer.com) to make me a silhouette of a pistol, just so I'd have something to hold in my hand. He has a wood shop and agreed. I sent him a screenshot of the pep scaled and pasted in a MSWord doc. He made that from wood. He shaped it all from a couple of solid pieces! Like you said, simple but quite effective. I'm going to put some paint on it, but for now I just left it with the light stain he put on it.
