'''''Magnum P.I.''''' was a television detective series that was broadcast on CBS from 1980-1988.  The series starred [[Tom Selleck]] as Thomas Magnum, a Vietnam veteran and former Naval Intelligence officer who then worked as a private investigator on the islands of Hawaii.  The series was created by Donald Bellisario, who was responsible for such popular series as ''[[Quantum Leap]]'', ''[[Airwolf]]'', ''[[JAG]]'', and ''[[NCIS]]'' and was primarily filmed in Hawaii.

=Handguns=
== Colt Government Model ==
The main handgun used by Thomas Magnum ([[Tom Selleck]]) is a [[M1911 pistol series#Colt Government Model|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.
[[Image:Magnum pi cgm.jpg|thumb|450px|none|The actual main prop from the show (Colt MKIV/Series 70 Government Model, 9×19mm Parabellum, serial number 70L33101, currently owned by the National Firearms Museum). A 9mm version of the Government Model was chosen for reliable functioning with readily available blanks. In the context of the show, Magnum's pistol was playing the role of a .45 ACP however, given that various characters referred to it as a "forty-five" several times throughout the series.]]

Not a Winchester 1897

The picture of a shotgun tied to a rig is NOT an 1897. It is clearly a bolt-action shotgun of some sort. Possibly Mossberg or Stevens.

What appears to be a stock is actually part of the chair. The weapon has the mag tube and hammer of the 1897. Please sign your posts. --Ben41 (talk) 17:47, 22 July 2016 (EDT)
