Police Python 357 (1976)

Police Python 357 is a French film starring Yves Montand as Inspector Marc Ferrot. It is named after the eponymous revolver.

Handguns

Colt Python

The Python is displayed prominently throughout the film. We can see it from the main titles:

Colt Python with 4" Barrel and factory wood grips - .357 Magnum

Ferrot (Yves Montand) trains at the range, using several different positions.

Ferrot (Yves Montand ) uses the revolver in the final shootout, during the armored car robbery.

Note that, in this pic, the cylinder holes are not completely round. Maybe a blank gun was used in this scene.

SACM Model 1935A

Mathieu Carrière, as Inspector Ménard, uses a SACM Model 1935A pistol, although it is never seen well, and it is difficult to obtain a good vidcap.

MAB Model D

It is hard to be sure, but I think that the police officer standing behind the car carries a MAB Model D pistol.

Walther PPK

Commissaire Ganay (François Périer) uses a Walther PPK.

Miscellaneous

M1911 pistol

At the beginning of the movie, we can see several long guns and handguns in a gun rack, in Ferrot’s house. The handgun at the left looks like a M1911. Note that the gun has a lanyard loop.

Smith & Wesson Model 10

Another gun in the gun rack looks like a Smith & Wesson Model 10

Unidentified Firearms

Ferrot keeps a rifle, a shotgun and several handguns in a gun rack. The long guns are never seen well, and I cannot identify the handgun in the middle. Possibly it is a CZ 27.

Interesting Details

At the beginning of the movie, we see that Ferrots handloads his own ammo at his reloading bench.

He even casts his bullets.
