I built ergonomic mock-ups to test feel. I scanned them and used the stl file as reference geometry. This saved a few steps in the process namely we never made final visual models. The renderings were used for sales presentations and they went directly into production.

These garden pistols should be on sale now. The Brand is Orbit, I haven't seen them in the store yet though. There were 4 different variations made.

I bought the scanner for this project and it was worth it. I haven't used the scanner much since. If someone needs a part scanned let me know, I will give a reasonable price. The scanner works best for parts the size of a soda can.
