I took some screen captures (and brightened them), then compared them to wikipedia's list of World War II handguns (I think we all assume Higgins would use a WWII handgun). I'm pretty sure it's a Walther P38, "the dominant German handgun of World War II" and "the most popular souvenir handgun in the European theater of World War II" (link). There were slight variations before and after the P38, like the Walther HP, but it seems likely Higgins would have the P38. In this link the P38 is the third photo, and the HP is the second.

Thats a Higgins-esque story if I ever heard one!James J. Walters wrote:I think you nailed it RC! A Walther P38!
So, Higgins is protecting a Nazi (who he thought was a Jew) against Nazi hunters (who he thought were Nazi sympathizers) with a German semi-automatic pistol that was created in Nazi Germany!? How odd!

I had no idea there was even a "Internet Movie Firearms Database" out there! Cool!

I spot-checked a couple and havn't found any errors so far. For example, the site lists a Browning O/U 12 gauge shotgun being used for skeet-shooting in "Tropical Madness". Sure enough, Jennifer Chapman is seen using one!rubber chicken wrote:Very interesting! Though it's hard to know how accurate all those choices are without screenshots and explanations.

At the very end, when Higgins says, "There will be no wild parties, no outrageous liberties, no unauthorized overnight guests!", the audio is noticeably different, and of poor quality. I originally had this down as a flub, as 'audio sound quality flubs' have occurred before in other episodes (although rare), but someone recently emailed me saying that they believe this was intentional "to recall the speakers in the Nazi [concentration] camps, as Higgie is the Nazi to the poor Magnum..." Interesting observation, as the audio does kind of sound like it's coming through a beat-up megaphone.
What do you guys think?
