Colt New Service Revolver

A suppressed revolver is used by Major David Kabakov to threaten businessman E. Muzi (Michael V. Gazzo) into identifying who had purchased explosives for use in a potential terrorist attack. The revolver appears to be a large framed Colt revolver. The New Service large frame revolver was discontinued in 1941. Colt did not resume manufacturing large framed revolvers until the Anaconda in the eighties.despite the supressor it is possible that the revolver is a "Fitz Special", based on the short barrel. However it does not appear that the hammer has been bobbed - another characteristic of a Colt Fitz Special.

Colt New Service 1935-1936 .357 Magnum. Prior to the moden day magnum revolvers like the Colt Python.

Walther PPK Pistol

During the scene that takes place in Major Kabakov's (Robert Shaw) hospital room his partner, Robert Moshevsky (Steven Keats), removes his sports jacket. It appears that he is wearing a shoulder holster with a Walther PPK in the holster. Since the only thing visible is the pistol's handle it is possible that it is a Walther PP instead.
