== Colt M1911A1 ==
Mike Hammer ([[Mickey Spillane]]) carries a [[Colt M1911A1]], first illegally, then legally. He describes it as a "Colt Automatic, Caliber .45." [http://www.crimetime.co.uk/interviews/mickeyspillane.php According to Mickey Spillane], "this awful Spanish gun," most likely a [[Star Model B]], was to stand in for the Colt, but real Colt M1911s were later provided by notorious London gangster Billy Hill.

[[Image:GirlHunters_M1911_01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mike Hammer pulls out his M1911A1. As Captain Pat Chambers (Scott Peters) warns later, carrying this without a permit would've been a violation of the Sullivan Act, one of the nation's oldest gun control laws still in effect.]]
[[Image:GirlHunters_M1911_02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Spillane plays with his M1911A1. Note the lack of an external extractor, which means it is not an "awful Spanish gun" (Star Model B.)]]
