The following weapons were used in Season 1 of the series Magnum P.I.:
__TOC__
=Pistols=
== 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. 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.
== Star Model B ==
In some episodes, Magnum's Colt becomes a Star Model B. 9x19mm blank cartriges were deemed more reliable, and with limited options at the time, the Model B was commonly used as a stand-in for the 1911A1, chambered in .45 ACP.
