Talk:The Killers (1964)

Unknowns

I'm not sure of these are identifiable, but it's worth a try. --Funkychinaman (talk) 06:41, 27 January 2013 (EST)

Unknown revolver 1

Mickey Farmer (Norman Fell) uses an unknown revolver during the holdup.

It looks like there's an ejector rod that runs along the entire length of the barrel, so maybe a Quickdraw Single Action Army?

Unknown revolver 2

Lee (Clu Gulager) pulls a revolver off of Browning's display and plays with it.

Six shots, swing out cylinder.

It's the revolver with the white grips, to the right of the Steyr M1912.

Possibly it's a Smith & Wesson Ladysmith in 32 S&W. Looks like it has a nickel plating as well. --Jcordell (talk) 12:08, 28 January 2013 (EST)

I don't supposed you'd know the model number. All the images of .32 Ladysmiths I can find online are snub-nosed. --Funkychinaman (talk) 12:24, 28 January 2013 (EST)

Here you go. Unfortunately it's blued and not nickel.--Jcordell (talk) 12:55, 28 January 2013 (EST)

Here is a nickel model. On closer examination it might not be a Ladysmith which is also known as the M frame and went out of production before WWII. They're real big with collectors. Small framed revolvers. Cute and expensive.S&W didn't start numbering their models until 1957. Any guns before that year were named. --Jcordell (talk) 12:59, 28 January 2013 (EST)

But then again it might be. --Jcordell (talk) 13:01, 28 January 2013 (EST)

Thanks! --Funkychinaman (talk) 13:02, 28 January 2013 (EST)

No problem. Researching revolvers is one of my favorite pastimes. --Jcordell (talk) 13:04, 28 January 2013 (EST)

I posted the screencap of the clamshell holster because I knew you're into old police equipment and might get a kick out of it. I had to do a little research myself. I can't believe they ever thought it was a good idea. --Funkychinaman (talk) 13:11, 28 January 2013 (EST)
