Pistols
Self Loading
Colt Government Model
The main handgun used by Thomas Magnum (Tom Selleck) is a Colt MKIV/Series 70 Government Model, which is a commercial version of the U.S. Military M1911A1. In "Mad Buck Gibson" (S2E08) Buck Gibson (Darren McGavin) takes Magnum's gun while he's asleep. When confronted by Magnum, he teaches him an incorrect "Mozambique Drill", shooting the head of a sillouette target, then the chest twice. The real Mozambique drill consists of 2 shots to the chest, one to the head, in that order. 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 tucked into his waistband around the back. 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.
