The following guns were used in the film Beverly Hills Cop

Beverly Hills Cop (1984) - note the erroneous Colt 1911 Eddie Murphy is holding, in place of the Hi-Power used in the film


Browning Hi-Power

Axel Foley's (Eddie Murphy) sidearm in this movie is a Browning Hi-Power pistol. The manufacturer, FN, switched from an internal extractor to the external extractor in the early 1960's. This help date Foley's gun as a post-WWII pistol. Axel uses a Hi-Power in all the other movies in the series.

Maitland fires at Bogomil and Foley just before being filled with lead.

A similar gun can be seen in other movies, like Extreme Prejudice and The Hitcher (1986).

Smith & Wesson 639

A police officer at the beginning of the film uses a Smith & Wesson 639 as his sidearm. Detective Jeffrey Friedman (Paul Reiser) can be also seen with one tucked in his waistband. One of Maitland's thugs also uses one to hold Axel and gunpoint, and later to shoot at Billy Rosewood. Lieutenant Andrew Bogomil (Ronny Cox) uses this as his primary sidearm, as seen during the climax of the film. It is likely that the same gun was used in all scenes because they all have wood grips and adjustable sights.

Smith & Wesson 639 - 9x19mm. This model is equipped with adjustable sights and a square trigger guard (the model in the movie also has adjustable sights, but with a round trigger guard.

Lt. Bogomil fires his Smith & Wesson Model 639 at Maitland. Out of all the actors, Ronny Cox does the best job keeping his eyes open when firing. Look at his left eye. It's wide open.

Dan Wesson revolver

Several Beverly Hills Police officers use 4" barreled Dan Wesson revolver with enclosed ejector rod and ventilated rib, indicating that it is the standard issue sidearm for the Beverly Hills Police Department. At first sight it looks like a Colt Trooper, but looking closely, it can be identified as a Dan Wesson revolver. A security guard

Ithaca 37 Shotgun

One of the robbers at the strip club is armed with a pistol gripped Ithaca 37. Axel distracts the robber, then overpowers him and takes the shotgun from him.

Double barreled shotgun (unknown brand)

Used by the other strip club holdup men

Unidentified firearms

We can see several handguns that are hard to identify precisely:

In the opening scenes, we can see several revolvers with fixed and adjustable sights, used by the Detroit PD officers. They are probably S&W model 10 & 19

Another officer in this scene uses an auto pistol (S&W?)

File:BHC2.JPG
"Beverly Hills Cop"

Gilber R. Hill, in his role of Inspector Todd, carries an auto pistol inside the waistband. It doesn't seem to be the S&W 639 seen in other scenes (I think that this pistol has fixed sights)


It could be a Colt MK IV series 70, the grips definitely look like Colt grips.
