Can someone please adapt this post for the Indian scenario while I go and fetch a towel to clean my keyboard of all that drool!!!

Thank you Gents, there's something so increadibly appealing about the 1911 design, even though I can't diffrentiate between the hammer and the trigger, make me want to apply for a fire arms license (not that i need one, not that the commsioners office will grant me one, not that i can afford to spend those few lakhs buying one if at all available ) ....................The 1911 is sexiness personified.

Even Phantom carries one lolll






And not to mention, Steven Seagal....

Moin and Bowman... as an old Phantom fan with an enviable collection of the comic magazines dating back to the late 60s I want to add my observation.
In the original illustrations by Seymour Barry, Phatom was clearly seen carrying the Colt Longslide and not the standard 1911. If I am not too wrong,
when the movies were made the directors too used the Longslide Colts.

Cheers

TC

Moin... thanks for another good post.

LOL TC, you too?
I had a ton of Phantom comics while growing up.
The "Ghost Who Walks" was pretty standard fare for kids my age when I was growing up.
Places like "Denkali" featured prominently in our games.


I came across this link.

I’m blowing off a little steam tonight, watching the SyFy network, with one of their original movies – an updating of the Phantom franchise as what was apparently a two-part miniseries – as the video equivalent of cotton candy (no nutritional value). I’m in the middle of this live-action comic book, when the faithful family retainer tells the 22nd Kit Walker all about his daddy’s guns. “They’re a Colt 1911,” he says, and opens a case to reveal what are clearly marked as Springfield Armory 1911s. (Note to Springfield Armory: next time you boys in P.R. are gonna do a product placement in a movie, you might want to make sure the script doesn’t mention your competitors, even when showing your products.) The faithful retainer goes on to say “custom modified to chamber a 451 Magnum instead of the standard .45 ACP.” Um wait a tick…four fifty ONE Magnum? Whaaa?

General Comments:
The idea of a more powerful 45 ACP cartridge has long intrigued 45 auto buffs. The 451 Detonics was a viable solution to what has heretofore been an insoluble problem. A 185 grain bullet at 1353 fps and a 200 grain at 1281 fps is a significant boost to the usual 45 ACP performance of a 230 grain at 850 fps. Recoil at this top loading gets rather heavy, so most users of the 451 will want to stay below the top loads. The 451 Detonics is a good self defense or field cartridge for small game or varmint shooting.
Note that the 451 Detonics cartridge ends up about the same size as a .45ACP. Otherwise, it wouldn’t run in the gun. Which makes the next line of dialog seem kinda like…um…I dunno…maybe something some boneheaded writer came up with for “dramatic impact”? Faithful Retainer sez “The only downside is reduced capacity – 6 in the magazine and 1 in the chamber…which is why the Phantom always carries two.” Pistols, I mean. A 451 would be, what, 1/1000th of an inch bigger than a .45?

What is the difference between the two TcDa.They look similar in the pics, except a longer b arrell.

Wonder how Phantom kept his undies up with those two large pistols in their holsters

How else are you going to dry out your undies quickly after you've had a scary encounter with your evil nemesis?

Wowsers Baljit, you are armed to the teeth with all of those hand cannon's. Which one would you say is closest to the original WWII 1911 Design and what would you say makes the 1911 so special that the design like the AK 47 has survived for decades and is still in use today.

Thanks
Moin
