Colt Delta Elite or a smaller frame 1911?

I thought the Delta Elite wasn't manufactured until 1987. Could this be another anachronism?

I'm a little more curious to know what makes us think this is a Delta Elite to begin with. It looked to me like it might have just been a regular Commander-type 1911. But if it is a Delta Elite, then yes, it is yet another of the movie's many firearms-related anachronisms.

I thought it was a 1911 myself.

I agree, does not look like a Delta Elite to me. Don't know why it is considered to be one.

It also seems like a 1911 would be way more common for a sheriff to carry than a Delta Elite.

I don't mean to be rude to the person that made this page, but unless we can find a good reason to state this is a Delta Elite, I think we should change the section to a 1911.

It's definitely not a regular 1911 or 1911A1. It has a circular hammer, so it's gotta be a Commander variant such as the Series 80. The only question is whether it's the Delta Elite (which is similar externally to the Commander line, but chambered for 10mm).

Agreed. Mabey it would be better if we moved this to the discussion page so we do not clutter up the page?

Remington 11-87

Unless this movie is going for historical inaccuracy, the gun would be a Remington 1100. It's not a Remington 11 since it doesn't have the same exterior design. Doubt it would be an 11-48 since the recoil seems too low. The 1100 is the most likely gun, since the Remington 11-87 wasn't produced until 1987, hence the name "Remington 11-87". 70.157.131.56 02:27, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
