Red Dragon is the 2002 thriller once again featuring Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Hannibal Lecter. The film is based on the Thomas Harris book, which was previously turned into the 1986 Michael Mann film Manhunter.
The following guns were used in Red Dragon
Smith & Wesson Model 459
The Smith & Wesson Model 459 is the main sidearm of FBI Special Agent Will Graham (Edward Norton) at the beginning of the film. He is seen drawing it from a shoulder holster as Lecter stabs him. Graham is also seen preparing one for the raid on Dolarhyde's house. The FBI purchased 803 S&W 459's and issued it to agents in the early eighties. The second generation 459 was manufactured from 1979-1987. Since the film begins in 1980, Graham's 459 would be consistent.
- He also carries it latter in the film in a staright draw holster after he's reinstated, but it rarely leaves his holster.
Smith & Wesson Model 38 Airweight Bodyguard
Graham (Edward Norton) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 38 Airweight Bodyguard as his backup gun in an ankle holster. He draws it when Lecter continues to come after him. There is also a possibility that it is the Model 49 Bodyguard. The difference being that the Model 49 has an all steel frame where the Model 38 has an alloy frame.
Ruger SP101
A Ruger SP101 is used by Will Graham (Edward Norton) at the end of the movie when he engages in a shootout with Francis Dolarhyde aka The Tooth Fairy (Ralph Fiennes) after he invades the Graham home. Graham's wife Molly (Mary-Louise Parker) also is seen taking target practice with it.
This is NOT a Ruger SP101. It's difficult to identify what make and model it truly is, but I can say it's definitely not a Ruger SP101.Shadow45
Walther PPK
Another weapon Graham keeps in his home is the Walther PPK. He grabs it along with the Ruger as he locks himself and his son in his bedroom. Molly is seen using it as well.
Glock 17
A suppressed Glock 17 is used by the Francis Dolarhyde (Ralph Fiennes) to shoot Ralph Mandy (Frank Whaley). Later, he carries it unsuppressed when he breaks into the Graham home.
- This is an anachronism. The Glock didn't come out till 83 as I recall.
-This is possibly not an anachronism, the film starts in 1980 but many years laps from Grahams stabbing and no date is pin pointed.
Mossberg 500
A cut-down Mossberg 500 is used by the Tooth Fairy (Ralph Fiennes) when he is contemplating suicide, and later, when the FBI arrive at his house.
-I'm not sure that this is a mossberg, look at the front of the magazine tube.
I agree. This isn't a Mossberg 500. Shadow45
