48 Hrs. is the 1982 action film that launched the feature film career of Eddie Murphy, who stars as Reggie Hammond, a convict who is granted a temporary release from prison to assist SFPD Inspector Jack Cates (Nick Nolte) in tracking down an escaped prisoner who has stolen his gun and who has a past with Hammond. The film was directed by Walter Hill, who would return along with Murphy and Nolte for the 1990 sequel Another 48 Hrs..
The following weapons were used in the film 48 Hrs.:
At the beginning of the movie, Albert Ganz (James Remar) uses a blued Smith & Wesson Model 27 / 28 N-frame revolver. It is most likely a Model 28, rather than the nicer, more expensive Model 27, though both are tapered-barrel .357 Magnum N-frame S&W revolvers. It could also be a Model 24 in .44 Special (also a tapered-barrel N-frame), but this is unlikely. The revolver shown used has a tapered barrel, and not the heavy 'bull' barrel of the Model 29 (Though the 'Mountain Gun' variant of the Model 29 has a tapered barrel, it was not available when the movie was filmed).
During the hotel shootout, Billy Bear (Sonny Landham) uses what appears to be a Colt New Frontier revolver with fixed sights instead of adjustable sights.
Luther (David Patrick Kelly) carries a Colt New Service revolver as he's chased by Cates. Reggie Hammond (Eddie Murphy) takes the revolver away when Luther runs into a car door. An SFPD officer is also seen with one.
In the cowboy bar, Reggie Hammond takes a Jennings J-25 off one of the patrons while frisking him. He gives it to Cates, who then proceeds to unload it.
