Killer's Wedge (Sposob ubiystva) is an Ukrainian 1993 crime thriller directed by Oleg Goyda and based on the novel "Killer's Wedge" by Ed McBain, one of the "87th Precinct" series. Virginia Dodge (Evdokiya Germanova) appears in 87th Precinct with a revolver and a bottle of nitroglycerin. She wants to kill Det. Steve Carella who arrested Frank Dodge, her husband. Virginia takes several detectives and police officers as hostages and waits until Carella, who investigates a suicide turned murder, will return to the precinct.


The following weapons were used in the film Killer's Wedge (Sposob ubiystva):

The disguise includes vent rib, ejector rod shroud, a fake target rear sight and a new grip. The revolver in disguise slightly resembles Dan Wesson Model 15. The same movie prop is also seen in Sheriff's Star (Zvezda sherifa), Four Sheets of Plywood (Chotyry lysty fanery) and New Adventures of a Yankee in King Arthur's Court.

Nagant M1895

Det. Meyer's (Aleksandr Milyutin) personal firearm is a revolver. It is seen very briefly but the shape of the grip allows to guess that it is a Nagant M1895. Undoubtedly this weapon was used because of the lack of authentic Colt or Smith & Wesson revolvers on film studio armory.
