IIRC, when the film about Sergeant York was made, the moviemakers could not get
the gun he used, a 1911, to fire reliably with blanks.

They used a pistol that did fire reliably with blanks....a P08 Luger in 9MM. Horrors!! :-)

In the 1991 movie "Thelma and Louise", they are pulled over for going 110 MPH
in their 1966 T-bird. The trooper is from the New Mexico State Police, per
the badge on his cruiser's driver's door. But his collar tabs are "NSP". It seems
like they should have said "NMSP".

He is wearing a Sam Brown belt with 12 cowboy style individual bullet loops, yet
his pistol is a 1911A1. 12 cartridges would be just enough for 2 reloads of a
6 round revolver. Where's the pistol mags? Notice that the 1911 appears to have
a set of aftermarket white grips. Other than the 12 bullets of unknown caliber on
his Sam Brown, he has 1 set of handcuffs. No pistol mags.

After Susan Sarandon takes the 1911 and his belt, she says "Extra ammo." Not for the 1911 she doesn't,
unless for some reason the LEO carried 12 rounds of .45 ACP in cowboy style individual belt loops.

If it's extra ammo for the Colt Detective Special, NIckel, 3rd generation,
why did the cop have .38's in his belt? The Colt was used earlier in the film
to kill Harlan, the attempted rapist. Then it was used to shoot the tanker truck.
