While the bottom shot was taken from a 1080p source, it appears to not have the sharpness or the richer colors of the top shot.  I won't change the screenshots if they appear to be of higher quality. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] ([[User talk:Ben41|talk]]) 03:06, 11 December 2013 (EST)

Great screen caps!

The Colt Detective Special is actually a sawn-off Police Positive Special. It has a long ejector rod, which DSs of that period didn't and has a square butt, which PPSs did. There is a shot of it and the S&W in Rothman's left hand on the table in a gallery on Mob City's website: http://www.tntdrama.com/series/mob-city/gallery/?id=644961 You'll have to scroll through the behind the scenes sections to find it. my tech skills are poorand I couldn't save it. I also not sure the muzzle shot of Teague aiming the .38 down at Nash isn't a S&W, but the gun he leaves at the scene is the same sawn PPS. Consdiering the lack of continuity with Teague's shoulder holster, which changes from a reharnessed Lewis to a Lawrence at the oilfield,I wouldn't be surprized if snub .38 switched from a Smith to a Colt. Teague's main .38 is a Smith & Wesson M&P, nickel plated with a 2 inch barrel,with a lanyard hole in the butt. It's been shown in stills;apparently there's a gunfight on a merry-go- round. Great start with this show.

Screenshot comparison

The reason why I'm overwriting the 1080p images from Ominae. Here's a comparison between the two:
