I have noticed that in the movies they often use a Star model B which looks almost just like a 1911. I suspect that is due to it working better with blanks.
That was a Star Model B in “The Untouchables”, used by Frank Nitti. For some reason unknown to me, they also often use a Taurus instead of a Beretta. Both are in 9mm so I don’t quite understand.

I saw that movie and said..”That’s a STAR pistol!”
