Crockett was armed with a very special pistol called a Bren Ten. It had a unique look and it fired the extra-powerful 10mm pistol cartridge which was new at the time. The trouble was, nobody could get it to work with blanks, to fire and reload itself for multiple shots like a semiautomatic should. The show's property master Charlie Guanci knew an excellent gunsmith in a gun shop in Hialeah, Florida who altered it and made into a .45 automatic. It was easy to blank-adapt and there are lots more .45 blanks around than 10mm blanks. So Crockett's distinctive Bren Ten pistol was actually a Bren 45, shrouded in mystery and secrecy, unknown to all but a few.
