The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

Smith and Wesson Model 13

FBI recruit Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) is shown training with and then carrying the Smith and Wesson Model 13. This .357 magnum, 3" barrel revolver was the last issue revolver of the FBI (usually loaded with .38 spl +P .158 gr LHP ammo)

Smith & Wesson Model 13 - .357 Magnum

but, unfortunately, someone forgot to teach Jodie Foster how to holster the gun:

"it's hard to get this thing into the holster"

The revolver used by Jodie Foster in the movie has a Pachmayr Grip adaptor (note that the bullets in the speedloader are SJHP, and not the .38 spl LSWCHP +P, used by the FBI in that era:
