The following guns were used in the film Beverly Hills Cop
Browning Hi-Power
The weapon used by Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) in this movie is a WW2 dated Browning Hi-Power pistol.
Uzi
Colt Detective Special
A nickeled, pre-1972 version of this revolver, without the enclosed ejector rod, is carried by Judge Reinhold
]
Smith and Wesson Model 19
The 2.5"-barrel version of this revolver is used as a service gun by John Ashton
Smith and Wesson model 629
A short, 3" barrel version of this .44 magnum handgun is used by Steven Berkoff
Similar guns can be seen in other movies, like Extreme Prejudice and The Hitcher (1986)
Smith and Wesson model 639
We can see several times one of these 2nd generation S&W pistols, with adjustable sights (probably, the same gun was used in all the scenes).
One of the Maitland's Bodyguards uses it
It is also used by Ronny Cox (note the large, adjustable S&W sights)
Paul Reiser carries it, inside the waistband, in the Police Station
Dan Wesson revolver
One of the Beverly Hills PD officers uses a 4" barreled revolver with enclosed ejector rod and ventilated rib. At first sight it looks like a Colt Trooper, but looking closely, it can be identified as a Dan Wesson revolver.
Note that the cylinder opening latch is located ahead of the cylinder, a feature only found in Dan Wesson revolvers (arrow)
Ithaca Shotgun
This is used by one of the strip club holdup men
It is also used by John Ashton:
Double barreled shotgun (unknown brand)
Used by the other strip club holdup men
Unidentified firearms
We can see several handguns that are hard to identify precisely:
In the opening scenes, we can see several revolvers with fixed and adjustable sights, used by the Detroit PD officers. They are probably S&W model 10 & 19
Another officer in this scene uses an auto pistol (S&W?)
Gilber R. Hill, in his role of Inspector Todd, carries an auto pistol inside the waistband. It doesn't seem to be the S&W 639 seen in other scenes (I think that this pistol has fixed sights)
