That's easy, it's because revolvers don't eject the bullets, it's a technical thing, no extractor marks on the jacket..

I think Selleck packed a 1911 on the Magnum PI series. Not every episode, but when he did carry I don’t recall anything else.
But I could be wrong.

He used a full sized 1911 in Magnum if I remember correctly, and a SW scandium Gunsite edition 1911 in the Jesse stone movies, my favorite set of movies.
Unfortunately they went for the silenced revolver route for the villian in I think the second movie.
I did however like the Browning BLR used by the villian in an one.

I know a lot of older movies like the Wild Bunch used 9mm Stars for 1911 stand ins because they were more reliable with the 9mm blank cartridges.
"Ammo" very likely easier to come by for them too.

I've watched some of Reeves' shooting videos from Taran Tactical and he's definitely worked hard at it - he looks good.

Little known fact, Tom Sellecks 1911 was a 9mm….not a .45…if you watch the opening scene it shows him slamming a mag in his pistol, 9mm mag

I also love it when you see a suppressor on a revolver, they shoot the gun and no sound, what a riot

Nothing was mentioned about finding a case at the scene? Maybe how it was concluded it came from a revolver? What caliber was it could help! If it was Arnie or Deadpool with a 50ae you could tell which 1 did it, because DP numbered his!That's easy, it's because revolvers don't eject the bullets, it's a technical thing, no extractor marks on the jacket..

It was a joke... about that actual bullet not giving an extractor mark... because it was "ejected" from the gun.Nothing was mentioned about finding a case at the scene?

It could be something said on those type shows? A "bullet" having extractor marks is a riot or ejector marks! A case, yes! A bullet, no!

Ok, lol, you are quite obviously correct of course.

I admire Keanu Reeves' gun skills. But I have watched Halle Berry's techniques many times over and cannot find any reason to be critical...
