Boss (2009)

Boss is an eleven episode Japanese police procedural series that follows the exploits of Osawa Eriko (Yuki Amami), a 40-year-old police officer who returns to Japan after a 5 year hiatus in the U.S. and is appointed to the head of a new task force known as the Special Criminal Countermeasures Unit (SCCU).

NOTE: As this was filmed in Japan, none of the firearms are real and are various replicas standing in for their live-firing counterparts.

MGC M1911A1

Detective Katagiri Takuma (Tetsuji Tamayama) carries a silver MGC M1911A1 pistol (standing in for an M1911A1) as his service weapon.

SIG-Sauer P230

Most of the officers in the SCCU use SIG-Sauer P230 pistols in the field. The props used for these weapons are actually gas-powered airsoft pistols.
