The idea behind the movie The Delta Force with Chuck Norris and Lee Marvin.
Many don't realize that they own movie guns. The Star Model B and B Super was a frequent stand-in for the 1911 in a multitude of movies. Other, less well known, Star models appear in numerous movies. I suspect that it because they were cheap to acquire and they look different. The director wants it obvious which is the good guy's gun versus the bad guy's shooter.
I have read it in several places that the STAR A/B can be made to work with blank ammo very easily. The Colt 1911/A1 not as easily.
True or not, I don't know. Maybe an Urban Myth like so many other Gun Rag & IntroNet trueisms.
Was at a LGS yesterday just browsing, nice place and the owner does take care of me from time to time..anyway, a guy comes in that looks to be in his mid 30’s looking to buy his first handgun. I’m sitting there on a stool listening to this guy ask the owner if he has a gun like the “one Tom Cruise used in the movie Collateral”... When he told him he believed that was a HK .45 but he didn't have one in stock but had a number of nice 45’s the guy said “how about the one like Clint Eastwood carried in Dirty Harry”.
He shows him a model 29-2 that was a bit ragged at $1,200. The guy said that's way to big, Clint must have huge hands.
The owner gave me a look as if asking for help! The guy looked around for a bit and said he'd do some more research and come back.
When the guy left he looked at me and we started cracking up!
Now that's the way you pick a handgun!![]()
The hard part is that in addition to the gun and ammo, you have to carry the batteries to make it run!
If I am going movie guns...I'm going big!

The world needs more wives like that...

That would sure keep you busy at your Dillon.
I’d be happy with this.
