Don't get me wrong, I have had a few reproductions and I think they are great guns. I'm sure they did their best to replicate the originals but the barrels on the repro are much heavier. I'm sure this is a function of safety, you won't find a repro with .020-.025" (or less) barrel walls, there are only so many ways to get weight off of the front of a gun. It's difficult to describe but trust me, if you can have one of each in hand you'll see the difference.
