The following guns were used in the film Beverly Hills Cop
Browning Hi-Power
Detective 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.
Colt Detective Special
Detective William "Billy" Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) uses a nickel Colt Detective Special, 1st generation, as his primary weapon.
]
Smith & Wesson Model 19
Sergeant Taggart (John Ashton) uses a Snub-nosed Smith & Wesson Model 19 as his primary weapon.
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 Model 67
In the opening scene, several Detroit police officers are armed with Smith & Wesson Model 67 revolvers, the stainless version of the Model 15. They are noted as Model 67's by their sights (a bit taller than the Model 10 it seems).
The police officer in the front is taking aim with a Smith & Wesson model 10 in nickel finish, which was standard issue duty sidearm of the DPD for a great number of years, certainly at the time the movie was shot. Note the lack of an adjustable rear sight and the shiny finish of his revolver.
The officer on the right might have an adjustable sighted model 67, though. Hard to tell.
Colt MK IV Series 70
Inspector Todd (Gil Hill) carries a stainless Colt MK IV Series 70 in his waistband. It is identified as a MK IV Series 70 by it's grips.
Colt Trooper
Zach, Maitland's chief assassin, kills Axel's friend Mikey with a Colt Trooper revolver.
Dan Wesson Model 15
Several Beverly Hills Police officers use Dan Wesson Model 15 revolvers 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.
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. Sergeant Taggart (John Ashton) retrieves one with a full stock from the trunk of his police car and uses it during the climax of the film at Maitland's home.
Sawn off shotgun
The second robber at the strip club uses a Sawn off double barreled shotgun before being disarmed by Sgt. Taggart.
IMI Uzi
Maitland's thugs use IMI Uzis during the final gunfight at the end of the film.
Winchester Model 1300
Zach (Jonathan Banks), Maitland's chief thug, uses a pistol-gripped Winchester Model 1300 during the climax of the film when he tries to kill Axel in Maitland's home.
Smith & Wesson Model 629
Victor Maitland (Steven Berkoff) uses a custom Smith & Wesson Model 629 with a 2.5 inch barrel at the end of the film.
It's definitely an S&W N frame revolver. Looking at rounded profile of the ejector rod shroud on the barrel it appears as if it's a customized/shortened model 629. Gunsmithing shop John Jovino Co., Inc., in New York was known doing such custom work.
A similar gun can be seen in other movies, like Extreme Prejudice and The Hitcher (1986).
Unidentified firearms
We can see a few handguns that are hard to identify precisely:
A security guard at the supply warehouse is seen with an unknown revolver in his holster.
During the climax, the two thugs in the security room are armed with unknown weapons.
