Let Him Have It (1991)

The following weapons are used in the film Let Him Have It:

Colt New Service .455 Revolver

A Colt New Service is used by Chris Craig (Paul Reynolds) through the movie, as in real life. Craig shortened the barrel, and was often forced to use ammunition of different sizes. Early in the film he claims it uses "Tommy Gun rounds", implying that it is chambered in .45 ACP, but when he opens the chamber later, it appears that it is chambered in .455 Eley.

Luger P08

A classmate (Tony Sands) trades Craig a Luger P08 for a Colt Detective Special in their classroom. Craig is disappointed to learn that the Luger doesn't come with ammo, but his classmate says he could force ".38s" into the chamber. (Presumably, he meant .38/200 or .38 S&W, as .38 Special would be too long.) Craig is successfully able to do so and fires a round into the ceiling. Craig's brother Niven (Mark McGann) gets a hold of one while struggling with the police.
