The Stand is a 1994 American television miniseries based on the 1978 horror/post-apocalyptic novel by Stephen King. King wrote the teleplay and has a small role in the series. The miniseries originally aired on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) over four nights (May 8, 1994 - May 12, 1994). Several years later, there were numerous attempts to bring the story to the big screen, but these were relegated to development hell due to the logistics of translating the epic story into a feature length movie. Finally, in November 2018, it was announced that CBS All Access would produce a limited run series of The Stand. The new version premiered for nine weekly episodes on streaming service CBS All Access from December 17, 2020 to February 11, 2021.

The following weapons were used in the television series The Stand:

M1911A1

The M1911A1 is used by the U.S. military. The Utah Army National Guard assisted in filming. Like the M16A2, (see Rifles), the Beretta 92 had evidently not been issued yet to the unit that helped in the filming. It is my understanding that when actual military units participate in a movie they will use their own weapons or at least the National Guard units do - or did. This mini-series was filmed twenty years ago (February - July 1993). Very likely things have changed. I was in the Army Reserve and National Guard from 1986-1993 and I heard from a few fellow Guardsmen about their past experiences on television and movie productions as extras.I suppose it eases both the cost and the logistics for the production.I would imagine it would make the safety checks a bit more challenging though.
