Tom Selleck as Thomas Magnum
Colt Mark IV/Series 70 - 9mm
One of Tom Selleck's most celebrated roles came as the
Hawaii-based private investigator Thomas Magnum. This Colt 1911
pistol was used by Selleck on-screen as a trusty sidearm. The
actual gun is surprisingly not a .45 but a 9mm that has been
adapted to fire blanks.
