Talk:A Colt Is My Passport

Some notes:

  • Beretta pistol has a cross-bolt safety (such safety can be seen on the image of Beretta Model 70 with Longer Barrel on Model 70 page) that was used only for a short time before is was replaced with thumb-activated frame-mounted safety that is seen on the most Model 70s. So the screen gun is an early version - just a tivia but worth noting, as I think.
  • A very strange looking Luger. The cylinder over the trigger makes me think that this is a revolver inside Luger-style "skin". Maybe I'm wrong, but look in The Big Heat with the Iver Johnson revolver mocked up as Luger. This gun seems to look similar, doesn't it? Again, I'm not sure.
  • The pistol, IDed as FN Model 1910, is a different model. It has raised sights that doesn't exist on FN Model 1910.
  • The pistol, IDed as Ruby Pistol, is a different model. It has an external hammer, seen on Colt wa Ore no passport pistol 4 4.
  • The rifle, IDed as Remington Nylon 66, is a different model. The Nylon 66 has tubular underbarrel magazine, not the box magazine and the screen gun.
  • The rifle, IDed as Mossberg 146-B, is a different model. The Mossberg 146-B has tubular underbarrel magazine, and the screen gun lacks it.

I had add information to Beretta section. About Luger: maybe, I'm wrong, but, I guess, that this cylinder is fake:

The cylinder wasn't moved during the gunshot:

When the gun is fired, the empty cassing can be seen:

The cylinder hadn't any chambers:

But, maybe, I'm wrong. Pyramid Silent (talk) 08:15, 7 March 2021 (EST)

The pistol, that I firstly IDed as FN 1910, maybe, it's Hamada 7.65mm Type. At least, this Japanese pistol has raised rear sight. Pyramid Silent (talk) 08:20, 7 March 2021 (EST)
  • If the Luger is real, then the jointed arm would move when the pistol fires. And it's impossible to attach the sniper scope such way on a real Luger. As I said, this is only an idea about the mocked-up revolver, but anyway it's hardly a real P08.
  • And I'm also not sure about Hamada. This pistol has nearly vertical rear of the slide while the screen gun has sloped and more rounded shape of this part; the rear sight of the screen gun is placed on the back end of the slide, and on Hamada the real sight is moved more forward; and the slide serration also seems different. Looks like we need more experts :) --Greg-Z (talk) 09:28, 7 March 2021 (EST)

An article about Japanese replica guns. Maybe could provide some help, as handguns could be such replicas. --Greg-Z (talk) 09:46, 7 March 2021 (EST) And one more article about Modelguns. Also may be useful. --Greg-Z (talk) 13:22, 7 March 2021 (EST)

So this is totally random and has nothing to do with IDing guns, but I just found it amusing that the movie is called A Colt Is My Passport and no Colt pistols or rifles or anything really appear in the movie. --PyramidHead (talk) 14:33, 7 March 2021 (EST)
Many thanks! I had correct the ID. Pyramid Silent (talk) 14:31, 8 March 2021 (EST)
The Winchester and Remington on the page are both sporterized/modified M1 Carbines, near as I can tell - the fact that the "1907" has a charging handle is a dead giveaway, and the "7400" clearly has an open-topped receiver. BrandonColeford1992 (talk) 14:34, 8 March 2021 (EST)
Wouldn't those be Howa M1 Carbines? Black Irish Paddy (talk) 14:40, 8 March 2021 (EST)
