Django Unchained is set in 1858, and most of its guns had not been invented yet. Here is every weapon in the film, what is wrong with it, and the reproductions you can actually buy and shoot.
The Stealth Arms Platypus is a double stack 1911 built around Glock 17 magazines, with a one-piece 7075 aluminium frame machined in the USA. We put 700 rounds through one to see whether the idea holds up.
The Bul Armory SAS II EDC is an aluminium-framed 18+1 double stack 1911 with a 4.25in bull barrel and three magazines in the box, for around $1,850. We look at how it stacks up against Staccato, Kimber and the Prodigy.
