Random thought for today

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

(except me).
