Error creating thumbnail: File missingBeverly Hills Cop (1984) - note the Colt 1911 Eddie Murphy is holding has the ejection port on the wrong side, indicating a flipped image. In the film, the pistol carried was a Browning HP.
The following weapons were used in the film Beverly Hills Cop (1984):
Detroit PD Detective Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) carries as his sidearm a Browning Hi-Power pistol. The manufacturer, FN, switched from an internal extractor to the external extractor in the early 1960's which confirms Foley's gun as a post-WWII pistol. The Hi-Power would continue to be his weapon of choice in the subsequent sequels.
A police officer at the beginning of the film uses a Smith & Wesson 639 as his sidearm. Detective Jeffrey Friedman (Paul Reiser) can be also seen with one tucked in his waistband. Casey (Michael Champion) also uses one to hold Axel and gunpoint, and later to shoot at Billy Rosewood. Lieutenant Andrew Bogomil (Ronny Cox) uses this as his primary sidearm, as seen during the climax of the film. It is likely that the same gun was used in all scenes because they all have wood grips and adjustable sights.
In the opening scene, several Detroit police officers are armed with Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolvers. They are noted as Model 10's by their lack of a rear adjustable sight. The Model 10 was the standard issue duty sidearm for the Detroit Police Department at the time the movie was shot.
In the opening scene, one Detroit police officer is armed with a Smith & Wesson Model 67 revolver, the stainless version of the Model 15. It is noted as a Model 67 by its rear adjustable sight, which the other officers Model 10s lack.
Several Beverly Hills Police officers use Dan Wesson Model 15 revolvers with enclosed ejector rod and ventilated rib, indicating that it is the standard issue sidearm for the Beverly Hills Police Department. At first sight it looks like a Colt Trooper, but looking closely, it can be identified as a Dan Wesson revolver.
