The One handed grip was taught to military and law enforcement in the early 1900s carried over from the previous eras of revolvers and even handguns before those. 2 hand grips that are the standard now came slowly but eventually replaces the 1 hand grip only and the 1 hand grip is taught in the event your other hand is disabled or you are holding something else if your other hand.

Am changing this to MOVIE instead of TELEVISION. Though it was a made for Television, it was a MOVIE, as are Direct to Video Titles or cable movies. Television refers to recurring episodic series. MoviePropMaster2008 17:34, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

"Gewehr 98s"
Those aren't actual Gewehr 98s in the pictures. Long handguards and no Lange sight. They're probably Czech 98/22s.
1 Handed vs. 2 handed grip
In the pictures it seems only Captain Holderman is using a 2 handed grip on his 1911, but all other officers with pistols were using a 1 handed grip. Was the 2 handed grip taught during WW1 or did James just prefer the 2 handed grip over a 1 handed grip? --MarineCorps1 02:32, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
- Maybe it was just the actor's preferred method of holding it. Some might be more comfortable with the 2 handed grip. Crackshot 03:47, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
