Bosch on Amazon

Been a while since I’ve read the Bosch series books, but I remember in one where he is prepping his 1911 for the day.

He recalls dumping a bad guy with it, was pleased with the XTP ammo he chose to use in it. 1911 guy from then on.

Getting through the first season of Bosch:Legacy on FreeVee. I think there is a new "best line in cinema" in episode 10.

[SPOILER ALERT]

Bosch is tracking an assassin hired to kill his clients. They get into a gunfight in a house, and Bosch's S&W 27(?) is out of ammo. He drops it on the floor. Assassin says "Six shots. You brought an old man's gun, Bosch." He comes up behind her and shoots her with a semi-auto he confiscated from the man who hired the assassin. "You should've counted guns". It was dark, but looked like an HK.

The new show is as good as the original.
 
Oh, I thought you were talking about my favorite beer in college.

I believe the revolver Bosch was using in legacy was a night guard possibly 327 maybe 386.I’m not Bosch but now in retirement I rely on my 325 night guard a lot more.
 
Interesting how many police / PI shows with the main character carrying a 1911 variant. I wonder if anybody here who watches a lot of these shows would compile a list.

Just off the top of my head, these come to mind:
Magnum & Jessie Stone (maybe Tom Selleck is a 1911 fan)
Longmire
Mike Hammer
...

I thought I could come up with more ... a little help somebody?
In the case of Bosch, Longmire and Hammer, 45's are what the authors had their character's carrying so it makes sense their actor counterparts would carry them as well. I never read any Jessie Stone books so I can't comment on that character.
