So, if I want one, and if I don't want to do any modifications to it (outside of maybe changing the grips) what should I get.
A Colt, for sure, right? But then what?

It's fake - That site (which I think is sort of stupid) uses satire to comment on the media...
Here's the "justification" page:

Matt, I've never seen a book of Magnum Wrap matches before, but my general feeling is that they're worth somewhere around 15 or 20 bucks, unless you find exactly the right person. There are completists out there who want EVERYTHING related to Magnum, but they're few and far between, compared to, say...

Ditto, Gentlemen -

Here's to Magnum, and Rick, and T.C. and Higgins.
And here's to friendship and honor and fun.

Most of all, here's to my favorite show - One of the few things outside of my family that can always make me smile.

It's here: http://www.imdb.com/video/hulu/vi4066837017/ I love Quantum Leap, but haven't watched it for years - This is a particularly good episode, though. If you watch it, see if you can recognize another Magnum regular - (Hint: Magnum and this person DO NOT get along, although as time goes on, th...

Great idea, and well done!
I would drop the "Magnum P.I." and just leave the quote and the cross.
Magnum fans will know immediately what it is, and those that don't won't care.

Just my 2 cents...

I bought the 5 original broadcast tapes that were offered on EBay recently. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170843266227&ssPageName=ADME:L:PMR:US:1123 I haven't received them yet, but when I get them, I'll call in a favor from a buddy who works at one of the local tv stations ...

Sam Beckett's birthday is also August 8th, and while I don't watch NCIS, I wouldn't be surprised if Mark Harmon's character's B-Day is established on that day, as well. I could check, but Higgins has the estate's computer room locked up and guarded by the lads, and Rick isn't picking up his phone, s...

This is off the top of my head, but I'm reasonably sure that in a few episodes Magnum's birthday is established as August 8th, 1945. (Ten years to the day after Don Bellasario's birthday). If I remember correctly, that date moved around a little bit - For instance, the episode "40" about Magnum's 40...

I've actually scanned the real bird of paradise shirt and reduced to 1/3 scale. A company called spoonflower will then print some fabric, and I'll have an actual shirt made.

Yay!

http://www.russellwalks.com/magnum9.jpg http://www.russellwalks.com/magnum10.jpg Coming along, coming along. I've given the sculptor permission to offer a few of these - No real idea yet of what the price for a finished, unpainted piece will be - Somewhere north of $500.00, I imagine. Also (For any...

It's 1/3 scale, so a little over 2 feet, in the sort of signature pose, with his weight on one hip and his hands on his hips...

Thank you for the kind words! As you might imagine, Drew's certainly one of my influences/inspirations.... No Magnum 2-dimensional stuff, only because I haven't had time. I DO have this on the burner, though - It's not my work. I commissioned it. http://www.russellwalks.com/MAG1.jpg http://www.russe...

Magnum is associated with nothing but good things in my life - There are no bad memories attached to it. Occasionally, as I'm sure all of you know, life can be stressful, and there's not much that's more relaxing to me than coming down to the studio, playing my cheesy soft-rock 70's Pandora station ...
