Well, seems reasonable-- but that doesn't necessarily mean it was supposed to have been "portraying" a 9mm 1911, for lack of a better term.

What I mean is, for all intents and purposes, the show director wanted his main character to have a "GI .45, exactly like he had in Vietnam" so regardless of technical details... Thomas Magnum used a .45.
