What Gun(s) Did You Buy - Or Want To - Simply Because of TV and/or Movies?

Watching "The Pacific" miniseries has gotten me all worked up for some sort of '03 Springfield. Already have a '42 Winchester DCM Garand that hasn't been to the range since '14....

The similar question ought to be “how many if you have bought a firearm because Darryl likes it?”

Most of mine are based on movie’s, so it sort of works....;-)

Just like Alice Braga in Predators. Totally makes sense.

While there are many…...I think the one I’m drawn to most and always come back to is Dr. Alex Cross’ nickel Sig P226. I can’t quite explain it either. My answer even surprises me to a certain degree but I just love the whole portrayal.

Colt Detective Special: Film Noir Galore
S&W Model 19’s in 4” and 2.5”: So many movies!
I keep a Beretta 950 BS that my father gave to me years ago, because Tim Roth used one as an ankle gun in Reservoir Dog.

I don't know how many times I've looked at a 226 because of "Robocop."

I bought a 70 Series 45 ACP 1911 because of Dirty Harry. I decided I needed a Model 29. I called my local dealer and he said he didn't have any 44s but he did have a 45. Thus started a very deep dive down the rabbit hole.
