The following guns were used in the film Beverly Hills Cop
Browning Hi-Power
The weapon used by Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) in this movie is a Browning Hi-Power pistol. In the second screen cap, note the external extractor. The manufacturer, FN, switched from an internal extractor to the external extractor in the early 1960's. This help date Foley's gun as a post-WWII pistol.
IMI Uzi
Maitland's thug use IMI Uzis during the final gunfight at the end of the film.
Colt Detective Special
A nickeled, 1st generation version of this revolver, without the enclosed ejector rod, is carried by Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold).
]
Smith & Wesson Model 19
The 2.5"-barrel version of this revolver is used as a service handgun by John Taggart (John Ashton).
Custom Smith & Wesson Model 629
A short, 2.5"-barreled, Mag-na-ported .44 magnum handgun is used by Victor Maitland (Steven Berkoff).
A similar gun can be seen in other movies, like Extreme Prejudice and The Hitcher (1986).
Smith and Wesson Model 639
We can see several times one of these 2nd generation S&W pistols, with adjustable sights (probably, the same gun was used in all the scenes).
Dan Wesson revolver
One of the Beverly Hills PD officers uses a 4" barreled revolver with enclosed ejector rod and ventilated rib. At first sight it looks like a Colt Trooper, but looking closely, it can be identified as a Dan Wesson revolver.
Note that the cylinder opening latch is located ahead of the cylinder, a feature only found in Dan Wesson revolvers (arrow)
Ithaca Shotgun
A Ithaca shotgun is used by one of the strip club robbers and John Taggart (John Ashton).
Double barreled shotgun (unknown brand)
Used by the other strip club holdup men
Unidentified firearms
We can see several handguns that are hard to identify precisely:
In the opening scenes, we can see several revolvers with fixed and adjustable sights, used by the Detroit PD officers. They are probably S&W model 10 & 19
Another officer in this scene uses an auto pistol (S&W?)
Gilber R. Hill, in his role of Inspector Todd, carries an auto pistol inside the waistband. It doesn't seem to be the S&W 639 seen in other scenes (I think that this pistol has fixed sights)
It could be a Colt MK IV series 70, the grips definitely look like Colt grips.
