Question about the Sleeve Device

If anyone can answer this, how does a sleeve device work? I've been wondering how he can pull the gun out from under his sleeve. -500Magnum

Model 66 or 629?

A Snubnosed Smith & Wesson Model 66 with Pachmayr combat grips, is the sidearm of Chicago Police Detective Art Ridžić (James Belushi) in the movie.

Ridžić (Jim Belushi) takes aim at the Cleanhead Apartment with his Smith & Wesson Model 66 Snub nose revolver - .357 Magnum

"You look like Marvin Hagler. I lost money on Hagler!!"

Ridžić (Jim Belushi) takes cover from a gun toting Rosta while holding his Smith & Wesson Model 66 Snub nose revolver - .357 Magnum

- Looks too big to be a K-Frame S&W 66. You can also tell by the barrel and the subtle difference in the shape of the ejector shroud (compared to a 2.5" Model 66 barrel.) that it is probably an N-Frame 629 with 3" barrel in .44 Magnum. This makes sense if Belushi's character gives Arnie a full-sized Model 29. He probably really liked the "big" Magnums! - --sidspappy 20:16, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

I think you're on to something there!!!! :) Something to look into! I will try to find a 629 snubbie to photograph for comparison! THANKS! MoviePropMaster2008 01:52, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

I also believe it is a Smith & Wesson model 629 with a three inch barrel. Another possibility is the .44 Special N frame M624. However, I cannot see the typical barrel taper of the M624 in the pictures and the cylinder also seems to fill the frame almost completely. The model 624 features a slightly shorter cylinder, as the .44 Special rounds are shorter in length as well.

I took this screencap only to show the muzzle. Looks like a .357 to me not a .44. -Predator20 17:47, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
