A Smith & Wesson Model 10HB with a 3" barrel is the first Smith & Wesson sold by Ko Chow (Chow Yun-Fat) during the first gun deal. Later, Fu (Danny Lee) takes it and pulls it on Ko Chow in the cemetery. Another one along with two Colt Detective Specials are seen in the second gun deal.
Smith & Wesson Model 10 Snub Nose
During the jewelry heist, a snub-nosed Smith & Wesson Model 10 is used by one of the robbers to gun down an employee when the alarm sounds. This is presumably one of the "Smith & Wesson" Colt Detective Specials sold by Ko Chow in the second gun deal, but it now becomes a real Smith & Wesson.
