Error creating thumbnail: File missingBeverly Hills Cop (1984) - note the erroneous Colt 1911 Eddie Murphy is holding, in place of the Hi-Power used in the film
Axel Foley's (Eddie Murphy) sidearm in this movie is a Browning Hi-Power pistol. 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. Axel uses a Hi-Power in all the other movies in the series.

Custom Smith & Wesson Model 629
A short, 2.5"-barreled, Mag-na-ported .44 magnum handgun is used by Victor Maitland (Steven Berkoff).
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.

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
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.
