Possibly early S&W Model 10 snubbies
I believe that the very young Michael Madsen (wow!) and John Spencer might be using early model Smith & Wesson Model 10 with the half moon front sight instead of the front ramp. The Terrier is a smaller framed revolver and the ones they are holding appear to be the mid-size K frame Model 10's. --Jcordell 15:46, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
- I've shaken hands with Michael Madsen. His hands are BIG. Mine are average leaning to slightly longer fingers. I remember whose hands I perceive as small (Reese Witherspoons') and big (Michael Madsen). ;) So I am supporting your hypothesis here. MoviePropMaster2008
- Bah, some guys have all the fun.. :b. I can believe the 'big hands' thing though - The not-small S&W 686 didn't look all that big in his hands in the 44 Minutes movie. So that makes sense. StanTheMan 18:57, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
- I agree. WHY TERRIERS?!?! Not only are they OLD and RARE, one would have to go out of their way to get them for a film that was shot in the mid 1980s. (IMHO). Also the M16 is an MGC replica, NOT an M16A1...... MoviePropMaster2008 15:58, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
- I agree with both MPM and Jcordell. Though it's kinda hard to tell with the Smith, I too would have to lean to it being a K-frame Model 10, if only out of practicality. I am glad to see a page for this film, it's one of my favorites. Even if it only has those two guns in the whole film (I don't recall there being any other ones). On a secondary note, the S&W Model 32 is an older I-frame, isn't it? StanTheMan 18:46, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
Yes the Terrier/Model 32 is built on the I Frame. It was the predecessor to the S&W Model 36 Chief's Special. Neat little revolver if you can find one.--Jcordell 21:08, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
