The following firearms we can seen in Fort Apache, The Bronx (1981):
Smith & Wesson Model 10
The Smith & Wesson Model 10 was the standard service handgun of the NYPD for many years. It is used by most the characters in the movie, including Morgan (Danny Aiello), who uses the version with the light, tapered barrel.
Colt Detective Special
When Murphy (Paul Newman) and his partner Corelli (Ken Wahl) work on a plainclothes assignment, they carry a Colt Detective Special with an exposed ejector rod. (pre-1972 version)
Colt M1911
In a scene that takes place at the beginning of the movie,in the Police precinct, an officer is seen racking the slide of a semiauto pistol that he carries as a backup gun. It is never seen closely; it might be a M1911, a Hi-power...
Unidentified Revolver
At the end of the movie, we see a nickeled revolver, that seems to be a 2" "snubbie", in the hands of one of the bad guys. It has the exposed ejector rod like a Colt Detective Special, but the lines are different. Possibly a prop non-gun?
