The following guns can be seen in Bullitt:

Bullitt (1968)


WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD!


Colt Diamondback

SFPD Lt. Frank Bullitt (Steve McQueen) carries as his sidearm a Colt Diamondback snubnose revolver. [1] According to the source, the Colt Diamondback snubnose that is carried by Steve McQueen was fitted with grips from a Colt Detective Special. (See the Colt Detective Special photo on this page.)

Colt Detective Special

It appears that the other two detectives who work for Bullitt, Delgetti (Don Gordon) and Stanton (Carl Reindel), carry the Colt Detective Special (either the 1st or 2nd generation with the exposed ejector rod).

Smith & Wesson Model 58

There is one scene in which one can see a revolver in a motorcycle officer's holster with either fake ivory (i.e. plastic) grips or genuine ivory grips.Target grips as well. Judging from the grip's shape, it possible that it is a Smith & Wesson Model 58 revolver. For several years, the S.F.P.D. authorized officers to carry the S&W Model 58 .41 magnum. The Model 58 was manufactured between 1964 - 1977. The S.F.P.D. gave it's full cooperation to the production in the spring of 1968 and it's plausible that the two officers were the real thing using their actual equipment.
