WAVE THE FLAG

While Ruger semiautomatic pistols have come a long way in recent
years, it still didn’t have what many would consider a true duty pistol.

HOLLYWOOD’S GREATEST HANDGUNS
By BRAD FITZPATRICK
GREATEST HANDGUNS
THE BILL RUGER COLLECTION AT THE NRA MUSEUM
HOUSES SOME OF THE MOST ICONIC HANDGUNS IN
FILM AND TELEVISION HISTORY.

Ten handguns that took starring turns in some of Hollywood’s most
iconic (to us anyway) films and television shows.
S
ome of the greatest icons in film and televi-
sion history aren’t actors. Instead, they’re the
clothes, cars and equipment that have come to
help define familiar characters. Indiana Jones
had his whip and signature fedora hat, Thomas
Magnum his floral shirt and Ferrari 308. And some of
the most recognizable and most celebrated treasures
in cinematic history are firearms, particularly hand-
guns. “Dirty” Harry Callahan’s challenge to an unlucky
punk would have been far less daunting had Callahan
been brandishing a can of pepper spray instead of a .44
Magnum.
The NRA’s William B. Ruger Collection at the NRA
headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia, is a trove of Holly-
wood’s most famous firearms—from the Colt .32 Police
used in the 1935 film “The Thin Man” to the massive
Smith &Wesson Model 500 Samuel L. Jackson carried
in 2008’s “The Spirit.” Most of these guns are loan from
actors, film companies, gun wranglers or private collec-
tors, and all have a special place in history.
Here’s a look at ten iconic handguns from that collec-
tion. Each one helped communicate a story in televi-
sion or on film, and each has its own tale to tell.
“Magnum, P.I.” (1980-88):
Colt Mark IV Series 70 9mm
From 1980 until 1988, Tom Selleck played the role of
Hawaii-based private investigator Thomas Magnum.
The Magnum character’s sidearm of choice was a Colt
Mark IV Series 70, a gun that is faithful to
