Sgt. Lou Slade (George Kennedy) forcing Stewart Graff (Charlton Heston) out of the car. Oddly, Graff refers to the gun as a "thirty-eight". Evidently the script wasn't changed when Sgt. Slade's weapon was selected. However, the Model 19 can also fire .38 Special ammunition, so it's not far off from the truth.
