The XM177E2 clone is a genuine, registered short-barrel rifle.
The Model 15-3 has diamond magna grips to make it a clone of a period correct Model 15-2.
I have both of these guns because I'm a tactile type and became fascinated with them during my tenure a s a playtester for GURPS: SEALs in Vietnam.
Update: Bonus Pic!
The S&W Model 15 was our duty weapon as USAF Security Police until the Beretta took over, shortly after I retrained into a different career field. I have an inordinate fondness for those revolvers, and I hope to acquire one at some point in the near future. Seeing yours brings back some great memories.
