'''''Magnum P.I.''''' was a detective series that was broadcast on CBS from 1980 to 1988.  The series starred [[Tom Selleck]] as Thomas Magnum, a Vietnam veteran and former Naval Intelligence officer who is seen solving cases as a private investigator on the islands of Hawaii.  The series was created by Donald Bellisario, who was responsible for such popular series as ''[[Quantum Leap]]'', ''[[Airwolf]]'', ''[[JAG]]'', and ''[[NCIS]]''. In the fall of 2018, the series would be "rebooted" on CBS with [[Jay Hernandez]] in the role of Magnum.

== Colt Government Model ==
 
The main handgun used by Thomas Magnum ([[Tom Selleck]]) is a [[M1911 pistol series#Colt Government Model|Colt MKIV/Series 70 Government Model]], which is a commercial version of the U.S. Military [[M1911A1]].  This handgun is supposed to be the one he carried during his service in Vietnam and is sometimes carried in a tanker-style holster, most often seen carried inside wast band small of back, no holster. It is sometimes seen in Magnum's flashbacks to Vietnam. A former propmaster for the show has been quoted saying that the original gun was a traditional .45 ACP 1911, but was soon changed to a 9mm version because .45 ACP blanks were too hard to get on location for the show.
