I could 3D print you a pistol model. looks like the same one, and this one has a removable magazine, moving trigger, and operating slide (needs springs to return to position.)
here are some pics of it.

Hey man, happen to have the stl file for that? Looks really good!

I built that same pistol model years ago. We had that same problem. It was a hassle but we fixed it with holding it in place while coating it with a light coat of fiberglass resin. After that, we used a rondo technique to harden the model from the inside.

It's a great file, but warping is something that is going to happen with small or large pepakura weapons. Hope this helps!

I believe the file is on thingiverse.com!

I do have it, though I'm not quite sure how to go about posting it on the forum.

Maybe do a link through dropbox? or another file-hosting website?

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1i1anye42wrsn1i/AADj-MySM_VyHVJhKKp48Ijka?dl=0 Heres my dropbox upload. The file is on Thingiverse, but the receiver (frame) was too big to fit all on my bed, so I sliced it. The original file, as well as the 2 piece versions are in here. I'd also recommend scaling the magazine size down 5%, as at full size it's a bit of a pain to get out of the magazine well.
