Snub Nose Revolver

One of Farroni's henchmen who attacked Charlie Congers holds a snub nose revolver. Richi Huntz (Paul Koslo) takes the gun from dead gangster. The revolver is seen not very clear but it defentinly has open extractor rod. This feature and the general outlook allows to guess that it's a compact Colt revolver, most likely a Colt Detective Special.
