== 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.
 
[[Image:Magnum pi cgm.jpg|thumb|450px|none|The actual main prop from the show (Colt MKIV/Series 70 Government Model, 9×19mm Parabellum, serial number 70L33101, currently owned by the National Firearms Museum). A 9mm version of the Government Model was chosen for reliable functioning with readily available blanks. In the context of the show, Magnum's pistol was playing the role of a .45 ACP however, given that various characters referred to it as a "forty-five" several times throughout the series.]]
