Talk:Sheriff's Star (Zvezda sherifa)

The revolver appears to be a visually modified Nagant, similar movie props can be seen in some other Soviet movies of late 1980s. Suppressed PM has an obviously fake suppressor, and the usage of PMs was only due to the lack of handguns, more appropriate for US police. Greg-Z (talk) 13:58, 30 August 2015 (EDT)

No, the fact of the matter is that this is not the Nagant. It's some S&W revolver (it seems, top-break), may S&W Double Action. --Slon95 (talk) 21:01, 30 August 2015 (UTC+2)

Smith & Wesson .44 Double Action - .44 Russian

The inferior quality of screenshots (VHS, I guess?) doesn't allow to solve this question. But as for me, the revolver may be not a Nagant but it's not a top break. Anyway, I don't insist. I'll try to get this film in better quality. Greg-Z (talk) 15:26, 30 August 2015 (EDT)

Is this is the same revolver? Greg-Z (talk) 15:29, 30 August 2015 (EDT)

No, it's shooting a TV screen (even doubt that this film even possible to find at least on DVD).

It's a different revolver. Thank you about the discovery, by the way - I completely forgot about it. --Slon95 (talk) 21:36, 30 August 2015 (UTC+2)

This one I guess to be a blank-firing revolver, a starter or maybe a gas-firing. Greg-Z (talk) 15:39, 30 August 2015 (EDT)

Here is a screenshot of my copy of the movie. The revolver is definitely not top-break. Greg-Z (talk) 16:44, 30 August 2015 (EDT)

The idea about the revolver as visually modified Nagant seems very credible for me but I'm not sure if it's the same movie prop that in Sposob ubiystva. In Zvezda sherifa the revolver seems to lack "vent rib". Or I'm wrong? Greg-Z (talk) 14:34, 3 December 2015 (EST)

"Vent rib" it is seen here:

Angeli's revolver looks as real snubnose S&W (likely replica, non-firing or gas-firing):
