Hitman Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson) carries a 9mm Star Model B throughout the film. Some audiences have been confused due to the Model B's visual similarity to the .45 ACP M1911 (like Vincent's Auto-Ordnance M1911A1) and some movie critics have (wrongly) listed Jule's reference to his gun as "Mr. 9mm" as a goof, but as the Star Model B is a 9mm gun, it is not a mistake.

Thank goodness for FR. It is a question I've wondered about.

News you can use.

There is a scene in THE UNTOUCHABLES in which one of Capone’s men pull a .45. I believe it is a STAR as I got a look at the extractor on it.
