His pal in Texas gave him the .32 I do believe he upgraded to something more suitable later on...

I think he got better results from the sock full of quarters.

I saw Dillanger on the tv this past weekend and I must say that I've never seen so many guns in one movie my whole life.

It was a 475 wildey magnum. He only used it in death wish 3. By part 4, he was using submachine guns. and exploding champagne bottles!

Just out of curiosity, what does one of those Wildey's go for? They any good in real life?

Yeah, watched that too last night. Liked how a single hipshot from the .32 dropped most of the bad guys like stones. I kept yelling "Followup shots! One's not enough!"

A Wildey might go for 2-3000 dollars. I inquired about one on this forum some time ago. You could check that post to see the answers I received.

Me and my cousin would go around quoting Death Wish 3, doing our Brosnan impersonations.
Hey, where are you going?
"I'm going to get Ice Cream...This is America, isn't it?"
But it's dangerous out there
"My friend Widleys coming"

Certain scenes in Mr. and Mrs. Smith make me drool.

Death Wish, my second favorite movie. Number one? Blood Simple.
I think the gun used is a nickle plated Colt .32 police positive shooting 32 colt longs. It was given to him by "Ames Janechill" played by Stuart Margolin who also played Angel Martin in the Rockford Files. He was also a regular on the old Love American Style. Ames was in Tucson Az. not Texas.
The shootings in the TV movie were edited. The first shooting in Central Park was one shot. The alley shootings were one shot for the first two and two shots for the guy trying to get over the fence.
Two shots apiece for the two muggers on the subway and two each for the two muggers in the underground area that followed from the diner. The last three muggers got one shot each with only two hit. Even Bronson misses sometimes.
There is a reveiw of the S&W 32mag snubbies on gunblast and at the end of the reveiw Jeff says he heard of a Texas lawman in the 20s that used a 32 long and killed as many bad guys as anyone else with bigger bores.
I love my 32s. Long live the 32.

Man, Ratshooter, you must really be a Chuck Bronson fan! Yeah me too! Seaking of the .32s, My grandfather was the Chief Deputy Sheriff of a mountain county along the N.C./Tenn border in the 30's & 40's and carried a nickel plated S&W M&P in .32-20....it never failed him in 30yrs of service. My father has that weapon now and it's still shooting....

Strangelittleman i DO LIKE Bronson. Did you know he picked his last name from a street?
After Death Wish 2 the shows get just a little corny but i still watch them.
The movie Death Hunt has a neat variety of guns if you take the time to look. It also has a big goof up when Bronson jumps over the river to the land below. He drops his gun when jumping but then has it on the other side. This movie also has a very rare Bristol Scout Biplane. Four of these planes were supposed to built for the Tom Selleck movie High Road To China but DeHavalin Moths were used instead. The Bristol copies were to run $100,000.00 each. Moths are cheaper or at least they were then.
Bristol bipes had the lower wing mounted below the fusalage instead directly to it. You can see that in the movie if you know to look for it.

I read his bio and was surprised by some of the facts. First, he is Lithuanian, which I would have NEVER guessed. And..
In 1943, Bronson joined the United States Army Air Forces and served in the Pacific theater as a B-29 Superfortress gunner.[4] Assigned to the 61st Bomb Squadron of the 39th Bomb Group of the Twentieth Air Force, he flew bombing missions to Japan from North Field, Guam.

I must now bump him up in my gun-themed rotation. He is a Lithuanian Clint Eastwood!

RatShooter, Blood Simple is a GREAT movie, the Coen brothers' first and, (IMO) very similar in theme to "No Country for Old Men" on a MUCH smaller budget!

Wuluf i can't ell you how many times i've watched Blood Simple. Every time i watch it i learn some little nuance that i had missed before. Like the inscription on the lighter "Elks Man Of The Year" and the reference to that in the opening lines.
I guess that movie hit a chord being set in Tx and reminding me of so many places like i've seen here and so many of the redneck good ole boys used in the movie. Great casting. "Ray" played by John Getz is also the newspaper editer "Templeton" in "The Zodiac". I didn't recognize him until i saw the name. Boy Howdy has he aged.
