'''''The Shawshank Redemption''''' is the 1994 feature film adaptation of the short story ''Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption'' written by [[Stephen King]]. The film focuses on the friendship that develops over twenty years between two prison inmates: "Red" Redding ([[Morgan Freeman]]), a hardened "lifer" and Andy Dufresne ([[Tim Robbins]]), a former banker who says he was wrongfully convicted of killing his wife and her lover. While nominated for seven Academy Awards, "Shawshank" was not a financial success at the time of its theatrical release, but has since developed a much beloved status upon its subsequent viewings on cable and video outlets. ''The Shawshank Redemption'' was directed by [[Frank Darabont]], who would go on to adapt and direct two more of [[Stephen King]]'s works for film: 1999's ''[[The Green Mile]]'' and 2007's ''[[The Mist]]''. In 2015, the film was deemed "culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant" and selected for preservation in the [[:Category:National Film Registry|National Film Registry]] by the United States Library of Congress.

The Shawshank Redemption is the 1994 feature film adaptation of the short story Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption written by Stephen King. The film focuses on the friendship that develops over twenty years between two prison inmates: "Red" Redding (Morgan Freeman), a hardened "lifer" and Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), a former banker who says he was wrongfully convicted of killing his wife and her lover. While nominated for seven Academy Awards, "Shawshank" was not a financial success at the time of its theatrical release, but has since developed a much beloved status upon its subsequent viewings on cable and video outlets. The Shawshank Redemption was directed by Frank Darabont, who would go on to adapt and direct two more of Stephen King's works for film: 1999's The Green Mile and 2007's The Mist. In 2015, the film was deemed "culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant" and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the United States Library of Congress.


The following weapons were used in the film The Shawshank Redemption:


SPOILERS.jpg WARNING! MAJOR SPOILERS!


Handguns

Colt Detective Special

At the film's beginning, Andrew "Andy" Dufresne (Tim Robbins) is seen loading a Colt Detective Special while in a drunken state. During the trial for killing his cheating wife and her lover, he says he didn't do it, but threw the gun in the river, ruining his chance of proving his gun wasn't used to commit the crime. The Colt is a first-generation Detective Special based on the grip design and the round front sight.

Colt Police Positive

The District Attorney (Jeffrey DeMunn) that questions Dufresne shows the jury a revolver for props effect, which is a Colt Police Positive in .38 caliber. Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding (Morgan Freeman) also sees a Colt Police Positive in a pawn shop window.

Smith & Wesson Model 10 Snubnose

Warden Samuel Norton (Bob Gunton) pulls out a Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver with a 2" barrel from the desk drawer in his office. He loads up the gun and is seen pointing it at the door.

Smith & Wesson Model 15

Smith & Wesson Model 15 - .38 Special
A Smith & Wesson Model 15 is seen in the pawn shop, center. Note the adjustable sights, confirming it is a Model 15 (though as the barrel is not visible it, though unlikely, could be a Model 14). Note also the revolver is fitted with the slimmer S&W "Magna" grips, differentiated from the larger "Target" grips on the .357 Magnum Smith & Wesson Model 19 seen next to it; Magna grips were more commonly seen on .38 K-frames.

Shotguns

Winchester Model 12

Several of the guards at Shawshank are armed with Winchester Model 12 shotguns.

A guard on the bus is armed with a Winchester Model 12.
A guard outside the bus with a Winchester 12.
Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) stares down the barrel of the Winchester 12 held by Guard Trout (Paul McCrane).
Police officers armed with Winchester 12 shotguns search for an escaped Dufresne.

Rifles

Winchester Model 1894

Other Shawshank guards are seen armed with Winchester Model 1894 rifles.

Winchester 1894 Saddle-Ring Carbine - .30-30 Winchester
A guard on the prison wall with a Winchester 1894 as the new inmates are driven in.
On the right, a guard on the roof with his Winchester 1894 rifle at the ready, though note that the hammer is down and his finger is squeezing the trigger.

M14

Captain Byron Hadley (Clancy Brown) is armed with an M14 Rifle fitted with a scope when Tommy Williams (Gil Bellows) tries to tell the prison warden that he knew the man who really killed Dufresne's wife and her lover. It is not likely an M21, since prisons aren't usually outfitted with Marine sniper weaponry. Close inspection of the rifle reveals that it lacks the fire control selector lug on actual M14s (and M21s), though the stock does have the selector lug notch, indicating it is actually a civilian variant in a U.S.G.I. M14 stock. Given the M14 and M21 rifles were in frontline service with the U.S. Military at the time this scene takes place, it is doubtful they would be issued to guards in some prison in New England.
