"I'd like to know why there's a little sideplate covering the name and serial number (just behind the tip of the slide stop pin)?"

It almost looks like tape. Why? Who knows with Hollywood?

Duct tape!

I'm guessing that Olympic Arms wouldn't pay the filmmakers.

BTW I'm serious. It's possible that the studio has sold product placement rights to gunmakers in the past and didn't want to be accused of unfairness (in today's freeze-frame DVD world) for giving an Olympic product such a prominent role in the film without requiring payment.

I was going to drop a couple thousand bucks on a 1911 it sure wouldn't look like that one

It is a Safari Arms Matchmaster 1911 clone with a Wilson 10 round magazine, titanium Yanek compensator, engraved ivory grips, and custom engraving throughout the film.

I just watched that movie last night. Her gun was very cool but I would much rather have her

plethora80 · January 22, 2009, 05:01 AM

Okay.I finally saw the film and I have to say;decent flick!,however inconceivible in every respect....Now the gun Angie is holding up on the cover is unmistakebly a "Matchmaster"1911 Colt derivitave,in .45 ACP Cal.But for some reason,it seems to have an extened clip.Usually handguns of lower calibres which have extended clips tend to have full auto capability..;but I've never seen or heard of a .45 full auto pistol by any marque.If it were indeed a full auto 45 acp,Jolie wouldn't be able to fire it!Not w/ 2 hands,and certainly not w/ 1 hand.

plethora80 · January 22, 2009, 05:07 AM

i'm guessing the reason why the serial#'s covered up by the side plate's because engravings are more aesthetically pleasing

plethora80 · January 22, 2009, 05:10 AM

absolutO,i completely agree w/ you...if i were to purchase a gun for a couple grand it would look nice sure,but would be more catered toward functionality.that gun is beautiful but give me a break!

plethora80 · January 22, 2009, 05:18 AM

i don't know if anyone here has ever seen the film behind enemy lines w/ owen wilson.but in case anyone was wondering what kind of weapon was used during the seen when burnett is first noticed by the enemy,and being fired upon....it was a twin 30mm AAG mounted on an M53/59 chassis

mssurrey · February 5, 2009, 12:55 AM

Can we just change the title to...''Wanted. Angelina Jolie!"

curt.45 · February 5, 2009, 01:56 AM

so we all agree, we want AJ but we wouldn't spend that kind of money on a gun like that?

and I'd only "want" Aj after she washed off all the tats.

f015755 · July 27, 2009, 04:31 PM

It is a Safari Arms Matchmaster with Hollywood extras. here is a link, you can see the box where matchmaster is engraved in the slide. Yhou are welcome guys.

Sweet lookin' pistol, which is a rarity in Hollywood. I thought those were made by Safari Arms long before the Olympic Arms affiliation. I still don't understand what everybody sees in the skanky heifer holding it though.

She can't wash off all the tats. Some of them are real.

Looks to me like a fancier version of an old Safari Arms Matchmaster I had many years ago. Mine had the Schueman designed compensator barrel, though, which required a long slot machined into the top of the slide for the barrel cuts to vent instead of being an add-on compensator.

That was one pistol I never regretted trading away.

You want the gun more than the woman?

You're a very sick man.

There were guns in the movie???? Who knew

**Mal H** · July 28, 2009, 03:57 PM

I thought this thread had died out back in February, guess not. The original question has been answered more than once. So since most of the posts are regarding Jolie and not the pistol, there's not much point in it continuing.
