Actual firing pistol used in the film after it had been deactivated.

In the 1993 film In The Line of Fire, Booth (John Malkovich) is seen constructing this two-shot, reloadable clandestine pistol. The weapon is used to great effect several times throughout the film. The weapon appears to use .38 Short Colt ammunition, or possibly a variation of .38 S&W with unbelted cartridge cases. While a version of this "Composite Pistol" was also seen used by Russell Crowe in the movie No Way Back, the original blank-firing prop was deactivated by cutting it into three pieces after the filming of In The Line of Fire.
