The Bunny. A Steampunk Garter Pistol.

Step 4 "Trigger"

The trigger is the piece of a carrying candlestick that your thumb goes through. Most of the candle holders I find like this are mass produced, ugly pieces, this one was a particularly cheap and nasty one that looked like it had been thrown through a production line. As a consequence the trigger looked pretty dreadful, a sharp contrast to the high shine of the barrels. So I spent a little time polishing it so it looked more appropriate to the piece.

Once it was ready, I secured it into the body of the pistol. This trigger is stationary, it does not move like the last pistol did. The main reason for this was the current lack of a suitable spring!
