Are we certain about the M1911? In the third cap, it appears to be missing a manual safety. --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:49, 1 June 2015 (EDT)
- You are right, it's not a 1911. A brief search on 1911 family didn't give any clue to this mystery. Greg-Z (talk) 16:19, 1 June 2015 (EDT)
An interesting fact: J.M. Browning's model 1910 didn't have thumb safety (but it never was adopted and hardly can appear in a movie). Greg-Z (talk) 07:21, 2 June 2015 (EDT)
