Red Dragon (2002)

Smith & Wesson Model 459

The Smith & Wesson Model 459 is the main sidearm of FBI Special Agent Will Graham (Edward Norton) at the beginning of the movie in a shoulder holster. Graham is also seen preparing one for the raid on Dolarhyde's house. The FBI purchased 803 S&W 459's and issued it to agents in the early eighties. The second generation 459 was manufactured from 1979-1987. Since the film begins in 1980, Graham's 459 would be consistent.

Smith & Wesson Model 38 Airweight Bodyguard

Graham (Edward Norton) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 38 Airweight Bodyguard as his backup gun in an ankle holster. Uses it to shoot Dr. Lecter after he has been stabbed in the beginning of the movie.There is also a possibility that it is the Model 49 Bodyguard. The difference being that the Model 49 has an all steel frame where the Model 38 has an alloy frame.
