The Spanish 9mm Connection in Pulp Fiction

Posted on by Leave a comment

One of the uncredited gun cameos that got the most screentime in writer-director Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 neo-noir classic is a humble M1911-look-alike 9mm pistol made by Star of Spain.

“Pulp Fiction’s” hitman-turned-newfound-Buddist Jules Winnfield, portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson, begins the film in a classic black suit and ends it in a borrowed T-shirt and shorts while holding on to his customized BMF wallet, Jhericurls, and nickel-plated 9mm Star Model B throughout the film.

The what?

As a kid who grew up with surrounded by stacks of vintage 1960 and 1970s “Mens” magazines compiled by my slightly older uncles and handed down along with other, older sci-fi titles from the 1950s that came from my grandfather, I am a fan of pulp fiction publications of the 20th Century.

If you are like-minded, check out the 11,000-title strong Pulp Magazine Archive, which is, by the way, free.
