Taxi Driver
The following guns were used in the film Taxi Driver
Smith & Wesson 29
Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) purchases four guns from the illegal arms dealer he meets, the first of which is a S&W 29 in .44 Magnum. He is turned on to this gun by a passenger of his who claims he is going to kill his cheating wife with a .44 Magnum. The .44 features prominently in the film and is used later by Travis to shoot both the fat man and the pimp in the flop house.
Smith & Wesson 36
The second pistol Travis (Robert De Niro) picks out is a S&W 36 nickel plated revolver in .38 special with custom ivory grips. Travis later uses the little .38 to shoot Iris' pimp outside the flop house.
Smith & Wesson Escort .22LR
The third pistol Travis Bickle picks out is a S&W Escort, although it is incorrectly referred to as a Colt 25. He memorably attaches the S&W Escort to a drawer slide and mounts it on his forearm. Travis later uses his S&W Escort to kill the boss in the flop house.
Walther P38
