Talk:The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

Unidentifed Revolver

It can't be a Smith & Wesson Model 10 - it has an enclosed ejector rod. I'd say a Smith & Wesson Model 19, but I'm not so sure about the rear sights. --Jackbel 00:43, 28 March 2011 (CDT)

I think both the guns labelled as Model 10 and Model 19 on the main article are the same gun. However, the gun isn't a model 19, as the only 19s that were made with fixed sights like this were 3 inch version for a police order, and the pictured gun is a 4 inch. I believe there are a few other variations of different models that combine a shrouded ejector rod and fixed sight, but I think they are relatively rare and coveted by collectors. --commando552 04:47, 28 March 2011 (CDT)

The trigger guard is not the right shape for S&W. I think it might be an older Taurus or possibly one of the Spanish variations. Later today when I get off from work I'll do some research. Unless somebody beats me to it of course.--Jcordell 08:50, 28 March 2011 (CDT)

It could be a Taurus Model 65. Although the original versions had an unshrouded ejector rod, and the current ones have a full length shroud, it appears that there were some made at some point that look like the one in question: [1] --commando552 10:02, 28 March 2011 (CDT)

Looks like you found it. Good work.--Jcordell 13:56, 28 March 2011 (CDT)
