(resolved) Writer's pistol: doesn't seem to be a standard 1911 or TT-33
I wonder what has been used as Writer's pistol in the movie. The shape is similar to Colt 1911 and Tokarev T-33, but the following features do not match:
a takedown lever just above the front of the trigger guard, on the left side. It is not featured on 1911, TT-33 or other pistols that I can think of (or see photos of). This might have been added to a real pistol for movie purposes though.On watching film a few more times this is just a splash of water in that place.- spur at the bottom plate of the mag. Neither 1911 or TT-33 feature such magazine plates as far as I could find.
- grip spur under hammer. TT-33 does not have such a feature, 1911 does. Even if TT-33 slide has somehow been pushed to the front, shape of "spur" is wrong for TT-33.
- there is no mag release button behind trigger. 1911 and TT-33 do have one.
- hammer is seen at the back of the slide, similar to 1911. Tokarev had a hammer seen on top of the slide, behind rear sight.
- serrations at the back of the slide look like 1911 or post-war TT-33. Earlier TT-33 had a wider spacing of the serrations.

- It looks to me like the slide is forward, like it's about to be disassembled. The take down lever in front of the slide lock is what I don't get. There are a few other guns that have the 1911, TT-33 style. Like below but it's not it either.--Predator20 23:45, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
- It's not a Tokarev at all, it's a Hungarian Femaru 37M. Standard issue for the Hungarian army in WW2, it's a relatively heavy unlocked-breech blowback 9mm Short, actually has nothing in common with the Tokarev. Nyles
- Great find! :-) Surprisingly I did not have this pistol in any of my (few I admit) books.--Tiksom 07:13, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
