== Smith & Wesson 29 ==
{{spoiler}}


Travis Bickle ([[Robert De Niro]]) purchases four guns from the illegal arms dealer he meets, the first of which is a [[Smith & Wesson Model 29|S&W 29]] in .44 Magnum. He is turned on to this gun by a passenger of his who claims he is going to kill his cheating wife with a .44 Magnum. The .44 features prominently in the film and is used later by Travis to shoot both the fat man and Sport, Iris'pimp in the flop house. This particular Model 29 has the 8 3/8" barrel; the longest factory barrel made for the S&W 29 at that time (mid 70's). The other two stock barrel lengths at that time were the 4" barrel and the 6.5" barrel.

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 leather shoulder holster he purchased from "Easy Andy" for $40, in addition to paying $350 for the revolver itself.

== Smith & Wesson 36 ==
==Smith & Wesson Model 36==
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]]).


The second handgun Travis ([[Robert De Niro]]) picks out is a [[Smith & Wesson Model 36 / 38|S&W 36]] ''Chiefs Special''  flared flat cylinder release latch, nickel plated revolver in .38 special with square butt, mother-of-pearl grips.The flared flat latch dates the revolver to a date of manufacture from the late fifties to the first half of the sixties. Travis later uses the little .38 to shoot Sport, Iris' pimp, outside the flop house. In a continuity mistake of the film, when Travis trains in the shooting range, the S&W 36 is now a Colt Detective Special (see below).

[[Image:Taxi-sw10s1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Travis picks up his S&W Model 29 next to the detective Special.]]


The third pistol Travis Bickle picks out is a [[Smith & Wesson Escort|S&W Escort]], although it is incorrectly referred to as a Colt 25. He memorably attaches the [[Smith & Wesson Escort|S&W Escort]] to a drawer slide and mounts it on his forearm. Travis later uses his [[Smith & Wesson Escort|S&W Escort]] to kill the boss in the flop house. The gun is used in the "You talkin to me?" scene.
==Colt Official Police==

Four Colt revolvers, at least two of them being [[Colt Official Police]] revolvers, are offered by "Easy Andy" in his second case of handguns.

== Smith & Wesson M1917 revolver ==
==Smith & Wesson Model 10==
A till robber in the liquor store pulls out a nickel plated Smith & Wesson revolver, only to be shot from behind by Travis Bickle. 'Sport' ([[Harvey Keitel]])  might have a Smith & Wesson M1917 when he shoots Travis in the neck (plese correct if wrong).
Some NYPD officers seen in the climax also carry standard blued Model 10s, which were carried by the NYPD at the time.

== Walther P38 ==
==Smith & Wesson Model 10 (nickel)==
A gunman ([[Nat Grant]]) attempts to rob a grocery store with a nickel-plated [[Smith & Wesson Model 10]] revolver, but is stopped by Travis. Iris's pimp Matthew, a.k.a. "Sport" ([[Harvey Keitel]]) also fires a nickel [[Smith & Wesson Model 10]] at Travis. It is possible that these are the same gun.

The [[Walther P38]] is visible in case closest to Travis when he purchases his pistols. The salesman describes it as the pistol that was replaced by the [[Walther PPK]] as the sidearm for German officers in the Second World War. This is somewhat incorrect; the PPK was issued to Military Policemen, Luftwaffe officers, support personnel, and high-ranking Nazi Party officials.
=Pistols=
==Smith & Wesson Escort==
Travis Bickle ([[Robert De Niro]]) also buys a [[Smith & Wesson Escort]] from "Easy Andy", who incorrectly refers to it as a "Colt .25" and sells it to him for $125. Easy Andy apparently confused the S&W Escort with the similar-looking [[Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket|Colt 1908 Vest Pocket]] in .25 ACP. Travis attaches the Smith & Wesson Escort to a drawer slide, mounting it on his forearm and later using it during the final shootout. In a continuity error, this is seen as a [[Sterling Arms]] pistol when Travis puts it down at the range.

[[Image:P38.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Walther P38 9mm]]
==Astra Constable==
Travis Bickle ([[Robert De Niro]]) buys an [[Astra Constable]] for $150 from "Easy Andy", who not only mistakenly refers to it as a ".380 Walther", but also claims that "during World War II, they used this gun to replace the [[Walther P38]] pistol. Just gave it out to officers" and claims it can hold eight rounds in the "clip" (meaning magazine). This is the only handgun Travis buys that he doesn't keep in any sort of holster, choosing instead to tuck it in the waistband of the small of his back. He hands it to the grocery store owner ([[Victor Argo]]) after killing the robber with it. In a continuity error, this is seen as a [[Walther PPK]] (most likely the actual weapon Andy was referring to) when Travis is putting it down at the range.

== Walther PPK ==
==Smith & Wesson 39==
There are several continuity mistakes in the movie. When Travis is training in a indoor shooting range, he has a Walther PPK instead of the Astra Constable he bought previously (See image). The arms dealer incorrectly states that the .380 PPK holds 8 rounds in the magazine. While the .32 ACP version of the PPK did have the stated capacity, the .380 variants only held either 6 or 7 rounds.''It is either a Walther PP or a PPK/S.''
A [[Smith & Wesson 39]] is visible in "Easy Andy"'s second case of handguns.

== Smith & Wesson Model 10 ==
==Galesi-Brescia Brevetto 5==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 10]] with pearl grips is seen on the arm dealers table. This isnt a Colt DS or the Smith and Wesson Model 36 the barrel is different to them.
When Travis Bickle ([[Robert De Niro]]) switches his handguns at the shooting range his S&W Escort becomes a [[Galesi-Brescia]] Brevetto 5 ("Brevetto" is Italian for "Patent", meaning this particular model is the Patented Model 5, the Model 9 has a longer barrel). This particular Galesi-Brescia model coming with stainless finish and faux ivory grips (noted by the AG medallion), either in .22 LR, .25 ACP or .32 ACP.

Smith & Wesson Model 29

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 leather shoulder holster he purchased from "Easy Andy" for $40, in addition to paying $350 for the revolver itself.

Smith & Wesson Model 36

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 below).

Smith & Wesson Model 10 (nickel)

A gunman (Nat Grant) attempts to rob a grocery store with a nickel-plated Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver, but is stopped by Travis. Iris's pimp Matthew, a.k.a. "Sport" (Harvey Keitel) also fires a nickel Smith & Wesson Model 10 at Travis. It is possible that these are the same gun.

Pistols

Smith & Wesson Escort

Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) also buys a Smith & Wesson Escort from "Easy Andy", who incorrectly refers to it as a "Colt .25" and sells it to him for $125. Easy Andy apparently confused the S&W Escort with the similar-looking Colt 1908 Vest Pocket in .25 ACP. Travis attaches the Smith & Wesson Escort to a drawer slide, mounting it on his forearm and later using it during the final shootout. In a continuity error, this is seen as a Sterling Arms pistol when Travis puts it down at the range.

Astra Constable

Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) buys an Astra Constable for $150 from "Easy Andy", who not only mistakenly refers to it as a ".380 Walther", but also claims that "during World War II, they used this gun to replace the Walther P38 pistol. Just gave it out to officers" and claims it can hold eight rounds in the "clip" (meaning magazine). This is the only handgun Travis buys that he doesn't keep in any sort of holster, choosing instead to tuck it in the waistband of the small of his back. He hands it to the grocery store owner (Victor Argo) after killing the robber with it. In a continuity error, this is seen as a Walther PPK (most likely the actual weapon Andy was referring to) when Travis is putting it down at the range.

Galesi-Brescia Brevetto 5

When Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) switches his handguns at the shooting range his S&W Escort becomes a Galesi-Brescia Brevetto 5 ("Brevetto" is Italian for "Patent", meaning this particular model is the Patented Model 5, the Model 9 has a longer barrel). This particular Galesi-Brescia model coming with stainless finish and faux ivory grips (noted by the AG medallion), either in .22 LR, .25 ACP or .32 ACP.
