48 Hrs. (1982)

48 Hrs. is the 1982 action film that launched the film career of Eddie Murphy. The film was directed by Walter Hill and Murphy stars as Reggie Hammond, a convict who is granted a temporary release from prison to assist SFPD Inspector Jack Cates (Nick Nolte) in tracking down an escaped prisoner who has a past with Hammond and has stolen Cates' gun. The sequel Another 48 Hrs. was released in 1990.

The following firearms were used in the film 48 Hrs.:


Smith & Wesson Model 29

Smith & Wesson Model 27/28 N-frame

At the beginning of the movie, Albert Ganz (James Remar) uses a blued Smith & Wesson Model 27 / 28 N-frame revolver. Although the handgun is never seen closely, it does not seem to have a heavy barrel, but a tapered one. Therefore, it should be a Model 24, 27 or 28, instead of a Model 29 or 25 (the "Mountain gun" version of the Model 29 had not been released in 1982).
