Spence: What do you use… weapons-wise?
Sam: Hm?
Spence: Weapons. I’m a, I’m a weapons man.
Sam: Weapons man.
Spence: Yeah (chuckles).
Sam: OK.
Spence: They tend to settle the argument. So what you favor?
Sam: Oh, you know, it’s a tool box. I don’t care. You put the tools in for the job. That’s all.
Spence: What?
Sam: You know, actually I favor the old 1911.
Spence: Forty-five. Old gun.
Sam: It’s served my country well… a long time.

There’s an old cowboy movie I remember from a long time ago. Richard Boone, a.k.a. “paladin“ was one of the Cowboys and he carried a 1911. There was discussion in the movie about its capacity and how fast it fired and I remember at least one gun fight set by a river.

For the life of me, I can’t remember the name of the movie I can’t find it. Does anyone have any recollection of this or was it a bad dream?

As I searched again maybe it was “big Jake”(1971) with John Wayne, Richard Boone etc. the pistol was some kind of weird Hollywood mocked up fake 1911.
 
I beg to differ. They all had EXTERNAL EXTRACTORS. They were Stars. They also messed in on the Springfield '03s. They were using '03A3s, which didn't exist at the time.

It was a Walther P38 made up to resemble a Steyr Model of 1911.
