Anyone have info on Magnum P.I.'s 1911?

[NAA]

When USGI 1911's were cheap...

You used to be able to get WW2 .45's for about 300 or so but any
more they are going for a beat up copy at about 600. I bought a US&S version in BC about 20 years ago for 200.00, about the second lowest man. of government issued .45's. Was offered 1500.00 but I said no thanks, you can see them time to time on here for about 500.00

Now that's a blast from the past! I remember going to Lever Arms with 2 buddys in around 1989 and picking through a case of surplus USGI mix-master pistols. We bought 12 of them that day & Alan Lever charged us $100 each plus PST. [Was prior to GST coming in]. Some of them were missing grips and most had crappy old barrels but they were all fully functional. My share of the 'stash' got a thorough detail strip & cleaning, a new set of GI plastic stock [at the princely sum of $5 each] and I sold them off for $250 each. I still have one of the 'lowers', a 1942 USGI Colt frame, that I use with my Colt .22 Conversion Unit...

Magnum P.I.'s 1911

In one episode he mentioned that he used a "Remington Rand .45", just don't remember which episode it was.

inspired me to get a 1911. I stilll think Higgins was Robin. Magnum might of had an issue hitting Remo Williams with his 45. But I'm sure Rick would have go him with the uzi. That show rocked.

From Wikpedia:

Near the end of the series it was suggested that Higgins and Robin Masters might be the same person. In the final episode Higgins ostensibly admits to being Robin Masters, but at its conclusion he recants, perhaps whimsically telling Magnum that he had lied about Robin Masters, leaving viewers to wonder whether he was lying about Robin or lying about being Robin. During the early seasons of Magnum, the voice of Robin Masters (heard only a few times a season) was played by Orson Welles. Notably, Magnum had suggested that Higgins was really Robin Masters, and that "the person who appeared to be Robin Masters" could be an actor hired by the real Masters, "probably Orson Welles".

lol...anyways
