There's this pistol that keeps making a recurring appearance, passed
from character to character in the TV show _Heroes_. It seems to be
an ordinary automatic pistol, but with an extended barrel.

Can anyone tell me what model of handgun that is?

Brian,
Did you mean STI? SVI seems to sell some sort of medical equipment. The
pistol in the show is a double stack 1911 with the slide drilled and an
extended compensator.
It's actually similar to my Bul 1911 -
http://members.cox.net/gun-guy/left-closed.jpg The one from the show is just
rather more aggressively lightened. Not quite as bad as this one -
http://members.cox.net/gun-guy/bul-skeleton.jpg but you get the idea.

The 1911s have a LOT of meat on the slide that can be removed to tweak the
gun for shooting lighter loads for competition, etc.

correction to follow

ok so I screwed up, and didn't read the SVI webpage well enough. SVI sells
Hotel Solutions - in room amenities, Video on demand Movies, etc.

Still they don't make 1911's hahaha

Talking about this one? I was wondering too.

Is there somewhere on this site that shows the specific gun used in
Heroes, or a similar model? I'm looking there and I don't see it.
