I Dutifully Report (Poslusne hlasim) is a 1958 Czechoslovak comedy movie, a screen adaptation of the famous Czech novel by Jaroslav Hasek, directed by Karel Stekly and starring Rudolf Hrusínský. The movie is based on the second, third and fourth parts, following The Good Soldier Schweik (Dobrý voják Švejk), released in 1957.

The following weapons were used in the film I Dutifully Report (Poslušně hlásím):

Revolvers

Pistols

CZ 27

Most officers of Austro-Hungarian army, including Oberleutnant Lukáš (Svatopluk Beneš), Capt. Ságner (Otto Hradecký), Lt. Dub (Frantisek Filipovský), carry compact pistols in holsters. Only small parts of grips can be seen. The shape, size and color of these holsters match Czech postwar holsters for CZ 27 pistols, so the pistols are likely CZ 27.
