The only reason I would disagree here is the front sight and the grip. The front sight extends to the '''front front''' of the receiver, when the Model 10's front sight extends to just in front of the receiver. The grip also goes to right behind the trigger guard while the Model 10's doesn't ( it is possible aftermarket grips have been installed, though ). However, if someone could get a good shot of the cylinder latch that would clear this up.

: I agree about the sight style and grips. In addition, going by the thumbnail in the lower left of the screencap, that looks like a (anachronistic) 3rd gen DS due to the shrouded rod. Earlier Detective Specials have exposed rods while S&W Model 10s all have simple sockets for their ejector rods.

Colt DS or Smith & Wesson Model 10 Snubnose
I got this for the 360 and the handle appears to be a little too big to be a Detective, I was thinking it was the Smith ans Wesson because it was the one used in the film
