Didn't they use Art Asylum TOS phasers in IaMD?
Factory Entertainment's 'Assault Phaser'

- Start date
As I recall, Enterprise started
I believe they used the Art Asylum Phase Pistols in the show, I don't think the TOS phasers were released until ENT was off the air.
Wow. When?
The pile of Borg bodies that Kes sees in Scorpion were the action figures.
The Art Asylum TOS phaser was released in 2003, and does appear in the mirror episodes.
Wow. I never would have known that...
I'm not up to date on SNW. Are there variants to their phaser?
I thought the video that discussed the construction of this replica that the only real variants were working props, the expensive one, and the stunt ones, which are not functional. I don't think we've even seen the type one separated from the full body in the show.
Link to another fan recreation.
Prop on display
There was a brief set of frames in TFF when a bunch of security personnel were prepping their assault on Nimbus III, where we might have gotten the tiniest of glimpses at the Type 1 with the upper Type 2 housing slid forward. Neither TrekCore nor Cygnus-X1 captured that little bit during the shuttle landing sequence (despite having other frames shown). But yeah, it's pretty thin. Most of these mass-produced prop replicas are clearly "idealized" recreations of the originals which were "good enough" for quick long shots on screen (especially the painted rubber duck stunt versions), but would never really stand up to scrutiny sitting under lights on a shelf. The original prop communicators and tricorders from the various productions, for example, never had all the bells and whistles being put in the replicas.

Sometimes the "idealized" prospect can be a bit tedious. Back when MR did their rendition of the assault phaser, I was disappointed that I couldn't simply slide the front cover forward and back like they did in the scene you were referring to. But now, with FE's release, I feel like it can be better recreated since sliding it forward by hand and releasing it back will make recreating it much easier. My idea is to simply hold down the release lever while I slide the cover back and forth.
And while the P1 will be functional on this replica, it won't come with the two settings like the main phaser will when it was initially announced last year. Guess there wasn't much room to work with.
The SNW phaser is up for pre-order, along with an Anson Mount signature edition.

Anson Mount one is sold out.
Amazing.
Probably because they have no idea of how much the tariff will be until it’s almost here. So they don’t want to offer preorders at a price that they won’t be able to honor if it ends up costing them 2.5x more to import.
