Longmire

Longmire's 1911 can fire with the hammer down on the firing pin stop, rather than cocked. That, and he supposedly fired a round into the ceiling , to stop an argument. That was pretty weak. And his hammer was down of the FPS when they showed it.
 
Yeah that chic, Vic, doesnt float my boat at all :eek:

Lou Diamond Phillips is pretty good on the show

A Martinez, Jacob Nighthorse, plays a butt head :ROFLMAO:
 
Great show, and a really good "gun guy" show. I forget the details but remember one episode where it was relevant to an investigation that the Model 70 is available in .375 H&H, and Longmire knew that, presumably because he's a generally informed gun guy.

Then there was the time where his daughter had to learn in a hurry that not all centre-fire lever actions have a loading gate.

It's nice to see little details like that when other shows have gross errors like talking about safeties on Glocks and double action revolvers.
Ah, yes, the Henry that Nighthorse gave her. I'm yelling at the TV, "it's a Henry".
 
We watched all of Longmire and enjoyed it. Plus it made me buy a set of stag grips for a couple of my 1911’s. The lead actor was a real outdoorsy type, I read that he had worked on oil rigs in the ocean.
 
Longmire was a great show despite Vic's duck lips and voice that could break glass. It started slowly, for me, but once I got into it I watched it thru two times.

Someone mentioned "Territory". That single season was very good! I really looked forward to season 2, but it was cancelled for lack of viewership and the cost of production in remote northern Australia. The landscape was unique and the Aboriginal actors playing in it just added to the overall feel of the show.

The 6.8 IMDB rating surprises me.

Longmire cabin filming was in Valles Caldera National Preserve (formerly Valles Grande), in the Jemez Mountains about an hour northwest of our home in Placitas. I have toured out-of-state visiting family to the cabin a number of times. The National Park Service has not put as much money into preservation of the property as the filming studio, so it is looking a little run down. When the sheriff was on the porch looking out, there is a cinder cone close to center and just left of the base are the NPS facilities/former ranch facilities, which are digitally edited out in the series. I had a Korean War vet uncle from the thumb of Michigan who was a die hard fan of the series. One of the best things I ever did for him was to get him there.

If you want to see somewhat realistic 1911 deployment on TV, watch Bosch on Prime. The 1911 is in condition one when presented.

The suave and debonair Raymond Redding ton carries a CZ75 in Blacklist.
I thought it was a Browning Hi Power.
