Bullitt
Colt Diamondback
San Francisco PD Lt. Frank Bullitt’s (Steve McQueen) snubnose revolver. [1] According to the source the Colt Diamondback snubnose that is carried by Steve McQueen was fitted with grips from a Colt Detective Special. (See the Colt Detective Special photo on this page.)
Colt Detective Special
It appears that the other two detectives who work for Bullitt are carrying the Colt Detective Special. Either the 1st or 2nd generation with the exposed ejector rod.
Colt Model 1911A1
The real Johnny Ross (Pat Renella) uses a Colt M1911A1 at the end of the movie when Bullitt corners him at the airport. He uses the Colt 1911 to shoot the security guard just before Bullitt kills him.
Winchester Model 1897
The two hitmen that shoot “Ross” and later shoot at Bullitt from the Charger during the car chase use a Winchester Model 1897. The Model 1897 was designed by John Browning and had an exposed hammer like a lever action rifle. The version used by the blonde haired hitman (Paul Genge) is what is known as a “takedown” model. After he shoots the Ross impersonator you can see it taken down when he seperates the barrel/magazine from the receiver. It appears the hitman’s model has had the stock and the barrel cut down, the barrel to at least 18". The shotgun seems to be a 12 gauge, but there is no way to make certain of its actual gauge.
