After clarifying the .38/.45 question in regards to Mike
Hammer
(thanks), Jim wrote:
"When the later series, the one with with Stacy Keach, was

Hammer HAD to carry a .45 automatic."
I seem to recall that that was one of two stipulations, the
other being that it must be set in NYC. It made me wonder how
they got him to sign off on the Rob Estes version set in
Miami.
Rare Bird John Lau has written some amusing stories here
about writing that script, but he never mentioned if there
was any conflict with Spillane about the relocation.
