So instead of working on my 10 page paper for my Constitutional Law II class last night, I decided to watch a random Steven Seagal movie. I love all his movies, they are so hokey they are actually entertaining and I think I have just about all of them on DVD. Ever notice how he almost exclusively uses blued Series 70 Colt's in all of his movies?
Fire Down Below? Check. Hard to Kill? Check. Above the Law? Check. Out for Justice? Check. The Glimmer Man? Check. He even managed to find one on a US Battleship in Under Seige. :lm: There is always one split second shot of the rollmarks of the gun and they are clearly Series 70s. Every time I see one of his movies I want to run out and find a nice original blued S70. LOL. For this reason, he is my hero. :D

I'd never thought you could see the roll marks. Honestly I've never looked that hard. I have noticed though that he repeatedly uses a government model in a lot of his movies.

I do look that hard, they are quite clearly 70s. Lol. While you can't really clearly "read" them, You can tell by the size and style of the rollmark and the pony.

Nice looking Series 70 Phil..... :)Thanks. I carried one just like it on the street back in the 70's. Was young and stupid and sold it. Recently found this one that was produced within a few months of the one I sold. Won't make that mistake again ;)

Couldn't tell if you were being tongue in cheek or not. ;)
All of Stephen Seagal's personal and movie 1911s are Colts that have been worked over by Terry Tussey (http://www.tusseycustom.com).
On a side note, in Exit Wounds he changed things up a bit. He had a stainless Officer's model in some scenes in that movie.

Garrett is correct. Seagal uses 1911s in his films because he uses them in real life, and from what I have read he is as good with a 1911 as he is with his hands.

And as I recall, that was a pretty neat looking Officer Model in Exit Wounds. Although I find it hard to imagine that someone would prefer a Steven Seagal movie to Constitutional Law :D :D

Yeap, Steven Segal is a 1911 lover. Here is a picture that was send to me by one of our Internet visitors, of one of his 1911s.

Somebody needs to let Seagal know that he should buy Colt's! Being that I am a coward and afraid of multiple contusions and the like, I say that Hunter should tell him! :D He hasn't used the 3 teeth he's got left for years now, anyway! :lh:

Dave, Seagal does like Colts. Most of his guns are either modified Colts or full house customs on Caspian frames and slides.

John, I don't think that photo is genuine. Either that or someone messed up the slide big time. Mr. Seagal has two "A"'s in his last name.

The Aikido techniques from the earlier movies were amazing too!

If you look around, he has went by the names Steve Seagal / Steven Seagel / Steven Segal. The pistol may have been a gift from someone who didn't know which alias to use. :p

Is he related to Johnathan Livingston Seagal ? I read that book once.
I wonder if he got a discount on the engraving. What a giant bummer THAT would be......... for your name to be misspelled !!!!!
