>> In 1950 the Stallion 45 was introduced at the New York Toy Fair and became a sensation. It was declared the “Toy of the Year.”
When we were pups, a realistic toy pistol that fired real projectiles won toy of the year in (of all places) New York City.
Dude... we’re getting *old*.
“a realistic toy pistol that fired real projectiles “
It didn’t actually “fire” the bullet out the barrel. The hammer hit the brass, forcing it against the metal “bullet,” and “fired” the cap. The “bullet” looked kinda like a hollow point, except the hole went all the way through the “bullet” to where the cap was. That hole allowed the smoke from the cap to blow out the end of the barrel.
This is the pistol I had! Stallion 45.
