Colt Python

File:AG-Revolver.jpg

Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington) drops a revolver of unknown make and model, most likely a Colt Python .357 Magnum revolver with a four inch barrel.The image of the revolver shows a hammer that matches the Python's hammer and the grips appear to be the 2nd generation wooden grips used by Colt on the Python throughout the sixties and seventies. Unlikely that it would be a S&W 586 since that model was not introduced by S&W until 1980 and the scene is supposed to recreate an inccident from Frank's early days as a gangster.That would put it in the late fifties or early sixties.

Colt Python with 4" Barrel - .357 Magnum

This actually looks more like a S&W 586 than a Python as the guard, grips, and sights look like those of a Smith, and the vent ribs are not seen so it's likely that there was just a continuity error in the film.
