The Thieves (Korean Title: Dodukdeul/Hangul: 도둑들) is a 2012 South Korean heist movie directed by Dong-hoon Choi. A group of Korean and Chinese thieves are brought together by the enigmatic Macao Park (Yun-seok Kim) to steal a $20 million diamond from the notorious fence Wei Hong in Macau. However, the thieves' separate agendas means that little goes to plan when they actually carry out the robbery, leading to a multinational chase as the thieves fight over the diamond.

The following weapons were used in the film The Thieves:

Handguns

Colt Detective Special (3rd Generation)

A 3rd-generation Colt Detective Special is used by Andrew (Dal-su Oh) throughout the film. A Detective Special is also stolen from a Macau police officer's holster when Andrew and Popie (Jung-Jae Lee) attempt to escape from police custody.
