An awful lot of movies have sold a lot of guns. All the westerns made from the 1920's on sold a lot of leverguns and SA revolvers even though almost none are period correct for the movies.The "A Team" sold lots of Mini -14's.

For me personally Tom Selleck in Magnum PI influenced me to get into 1911's more than any other movie or TV program.
