That they show Pierce Brosnan shooting in that new series "The Son?"

In that time frame / era, a magazine fed firearm?? (Semi-auto?)

I have only watched a couple of the earlier episodes, when he was a teen Indian hostage.

Have not seen one where he is using the firearm I'm wondering about.

Only caught a few glimpses of it in previews.

I'm intrigued.

Anyone know??

Enlighten me please.



Its coming on in a couple minutes. I might be able to get my first good look at it. [:D]

    Isn't that the one that some early 1920's gangsters used and modified?

    Maybe I'm wrong.

    I'll research it.

    Thanks Guys.

    Is the time / era correct for the use of that firearm in this series??

    Struck me as odd, when I first saw it. (Granted he was 30-40 years older, than the early ones I watched, when he was a hostage.) When I saw him using it.

    I guess that would make it somewhat feasible.

    Pretty damn interesting show.

    Well done.

    May have to add it to my meager collection.

    Model 1910 was in .401WSL. French Army ordered a bunch of 1907's for WWI, and converted some to select fire.

    Yes, the series bounces back-and-forth from when he was young to when he was in his 70s in 1915. He is also seen carrying the 1911 in the series. Not the 1911A1, but the 1911

    That's funny.

    I was going to post last night,

    What's next?? Walking around with a 1911.

    As I watched the series last night, observing early vehicles (flatbed truck) etc. The time frame became somewhat obvious.

    It is a well written show, the 2 or 3 I have seen. Very enjoyable.
