Error creating thumbnail: File missingBeverly Hills Cop (1984) - note the erroneous Colt 1911 Eddie Murphy is holding, in place of the Hi-Power used in the film
Detective Axel Foley's (Eddie Murphy) sidearm in this movie is a Browning Hi-Power pistol. The manufacturer, FN, switched from an internal extractor to the external extractor in the early 1960's. This help date Foley's gun as a post-WWII pistol. Axel uses a Hi-Power in all the other movies in the series.
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. One of Maitland's thugs 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.

Smith & Wesson Model 10
In the opening scene, several Detroit police officers are armed with stainless 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.

Ithaca 37 Shotgun
One of the robbers at the strip club is armed with a pistol gripped Ithaca 37. Axel distracts the robber, then overpowers him and takes the shotgun from him. Sergeant Taggart (John Ashton) retrieves one with a full stock from the trunk of his police car and uses it during the climax of the film at Maitland's home.
Zach (Jonathan Banks), Maitland's chief thug, uses a pistol-gripped Winchester Model 1300 during the climax of the film when he tries to kill Axel in Maitland's home.
During the climax, the two thugs in the security room are armed with unknown weapons.
