Remember, Wikipedia information is posted by users, and unfortunately, they are sometimes very badly mistaken. It has been gone of on this forum as well as many others that the guns used were M29-2 6.5" blued revolvers. There were no 8 3/8" barreled ones, no M25-5 (which DIDN'T EXIST when DH came out), no M25-2, etc. etc. etc. 45 ACP blanks are just as difficult, or easy, to make up as are 44 Magnum blanks, 38 Special blanks, 9mm blanks, 357 Magnum blanks, etc. etc....well you get the point.
