Se7en (1995)

Se7en is a 1995 police crime thriller following two detectives, one new to the job, the other on the verge of retiring as they try to crack the case of a murderer who uses the Seven Deadly Sins (Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Lust, Pride, Envy, and Wrath) as his inspiration. The film's setting is intentionally never told, as the city is supposed to be a fictional, more noir version of New York City. Police Technical Advisors where on the set at all times to correct the actors, which explains the exceptional gun handling seen throughout the film.

Smith & Wesson Model 15

Detective Lt. William Somerset (Morgan Freeman) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 15 as his sidearm throughout the film.

Somerset spins the cylinder and swings it shut, something wheel-gun lovers cringe at.

Somerset draws and fires a shot into the air with his Smith & Wesson Model 15 to get the delivery man to stop his van. Note how he draws the gun with his finger off the trigger, which Freeman was told to do by the police technical advisors on the set after he drew his gun with his finger on the trigger originally.

"Get out of the van!"

Taurus PT99 AF

A blued Taurus PT99 AF with wood grips is used by John Doe (Kevin Spacey) when Detective Mills (Brad Pitt) and Detective Lt. William Somerset (Morgan Freeman) go to his apartment, and ultimately holds it on Mills before sparing his life. One of the murder victims is described as having bruises from the muzzle and front sight of Doe's pistol on their head, which seems unlikely since the barrel protrudes significantly past the muzzle, distancing the front sight from the barrel. One could argue however he cants the gun at a slight angle when he holds it on people, and in the first victims case, he had 12 hours of time to push different parts of the muzzle enough to discern it was used.
