I actually read an article on the gun shortly after the movie came out. The gun is actually a hybrid of a .357 Magnum Desert Eagle and a 9mm Walther P-38.  If you inspect the images of the gun more carefully, you'll see the Walther grip, hammer, and barrel.
The "'''Podbyrin 9.2 mm'''" is a fictional Russian handgun constructed for the 1988 film ''[[Red Heat]]''. This pistol was an IMI [[Desert Eagle Mark I]] fitted with a custom barrel and other completely custom elements, put together to somewhat rememble an oversized handgun of Soviet origin.

The "Podbyrin 9.2 mm" is a fictional Russian handgun constructed for the 1988 film Red Heat. This pistol was an IMI Desert Eagle Mark I fitted with a custom barrel and other completely custom elements, put together to somewhat rememble an oversized handgun of Soviet origin.

Director Walter Hill wanted a "P38 but bigger and meaner. A P38 on Steroids", so movie armorer Tim LaFrance built three guns he named "The Hollywood Eagle". He used the Desert Eagle .357 Mk I pistols as a base and had to modify the entire profile to resemble a large Walther P38. According to LaFrance, the most difficult part of the blank adaption conversion was the gas porting.
