+==Smith & Wesson 59==
-The [[Smith_%26_Wesson_4506|4506]], probably a 1st generation,  is the gun carried by Engelman ([[William Fichtner]]). However, in the final scenes it seems that his gun was switched for a [[Smith_%26_Wesson_5900_pistol_series|Smith & Wesson 5906]]. For the gun is picked up by Mace, this would seem a wise choice, since the 4506 would look way too big in Mace's hands. However, in the screenshot where Mace picks up the S&W, it seems to be a different model. Not sure which one.
+In a continuity error, Mace picks up a [[Smith & Wesson 59]] with a rounded trigger guard after fighting with Steckler.

-: It is still a 4506 but the bulges are on the side with the squared trigger model, even though it isn't a double stack.
