Stand By Me (1986)


Colt M1911A1

Chris Chambers (River Phoenix) steals a Colt M1911A1 which he calls simply a ".45," and lets all the boys use it at some point in the film. According to the novella "The Body," he had 9 bullets in total stolen in the box of shells. Gordie Lachance (Wil Wheaton) is most notabley seen using it, first when Chris gives it to him, claiming it is unloaded, and he fires a shot in a dumpster. The second usage is when he fires a shot in the air and then points it at Ace Merril (Keifer Sutherland) to keep him from stabbing Chris with his Stilleto knife. When not being fired, it appears to be replaced with a replica model, which is noted by an external extractor. (but it is clearly a 1911 replica in .45 and not a 9mm Star B.)
