	Travis Bickle ([[Robert De Niro]]) also purchases a five-shot nickel [[Smith & Wesson Model 36]] first pattern model with a square butt, mother-of-pearl grips, a slightly cut down hammer, and a flared flat cylinder release hatch (dating it from the late 50s to early 60s) rather than the later rounded latch. Bickle buys it after "Easy Andy" suggests it as a more practical weapon. Travis purchases it from him for $250. A mobster in the whorehouse during the final shootout has a blued Model 36, which Travis takes from him and uses. In a continuity error, the Model 36 becomes a nickel [[Colt Detective Special]] when Travis puts it down in front of him at the range (see [[Taxi Driver#Colt Detective Special\|below]]).

	Travis Bickle ([[Robert De Niro]]) purchases four handguns from "Easy Andy" (Steven Prince), the illegal gun salesman. The first of which is a [[Smith & Wesson Model 29]] with an 8 3/8" barrel, the longest factory barrel made for the S&W Model 29 during this time period. The other two stock barrel lengths at the time were the 4" barrel and the 6.5" barrel. Travis apparently gets the idea of owning a .44 Magnum from one of his passengers (portrayed by director [[Martin Scorsese]] in a cameo) who claims he will use it to murder his cheating wife. Travis's Model 29 is seen often throughout the film, carried in a large shoulder holster he purchased from "Easy Andy" for $40, in addition to paying $350 for the revolver itself.
