A [[Colt M1911A1]] .45 pistol is seen prominently used in the game as the protagonist Detective Cole Phelps' ([[Aaron Staton]]) sidearm. Oddly, the texture is from the [[Star Model-P]] (a Spanish clone of the M1911 pistol), why this was done is unknown as of now. The pistol is missing the barrel bushing and external extractor of a real life Model-P, so it is possible the Star brand name was used as a nod to the game's producing company, "Rockstar Games". | A [[Colt M1911A1]] .45 pistol is seen prominently used in the game as the protagonist Detective Cole Phelps' ([[Aaron Staton]]) sidearm.
