Pick a Revolver from TV or Movie

[iLikeOldgunsIlikeNewGuns]

Awesome Thread! I've only read the first few posts, but I will be reading through the entire thread after I post this. I had to just quick-reply though and post my original thoughts before other posts influence me

I have to post three guns, and even that is seriously limiting myself through great determination, so my apologies if any are necessary

First off I would really LOVE to have Stansfield(Gary Oldman)'s custom non-fluted snubby 629 .44 mag from Leon (The Professional) that thing is just sexy! and that is why I'm posting more than one photo of it I've wanted an exact copy of this gun for years now, and someday will




next up, I was going to say "The Hand of God" from 3:10 to Yuma, but I'm not as 'religious' as I am spiritual, I don't think I'd want to wear a cross around out of respect for those who are religious. So on second thought, a SAA that really gets me excited is either of the pair that are used by "The Kid" (Leo D) in "The Quick and the Dead." The engravings on these wheelguns are stunning, as is the finish as well. i would do almost anything for one of these babies (preferably both of 'em!)









but most of all, even more-so than my previous two selections, I would seriously love a non-cartoon / real version of Vash's gun from Trigun . It's a BBR (bottom barreled revolver) in .45LC with break-open/auto-eject DA/SA action. Thing is just plain BADASS

big LOL +1s to the guys who posted The Joker's super long revolver from the 1989 Batman, and the magnum 88 from Johnny Dangerously!

also +1s to those who mention Jayne Cobb and his ridiculously awesome collection!

and I was happy to see that others have mentioned Vash's gun and Stansfield's custom 629 from Leon before I did (I posted before I read them all so as to offer my un-influenced response )

this is officially my new favorite thread! (if I had a dollar for every time I've said that, but I mean it!)

 

[Scipio Africanus]

Harry Callaghan's Model 29

 

[Crossfire]

Pick a favorite

I already have Elmer Keith's Super Blackhawk. Dirty Harry's Nickel plated 29 in four inch. And Josie Wales Walker.

I think my hands down favorite would be the converted and engraved 1860 Army that tom Selleck carried in "The Last Stand at Sabre River." Tht is one beautiful handgun.

Nobody has picked the Pale Rider's converted Remingtons yet???

Actually, I'd rather have an open top Merwin-Hulbert

"A boy and his dog". horrible, bizarre movie.

This one from the Godfather part II, which I have never watched. Don't care for mafia stuff.

Randy Quaid (as Clell Miller) has a closed top M-H in "The Long Riders"

Pecos Bill (Patrick Swayze) has a pair of 'em in "Tall Tale", which I also have not seen

 

[Stacer]

I'd like the Richards conversion from The Quick and the Dead

 

[HiVel1]

Bloodwork gun-

 

[CPT. Malcom]

i have already chosen one but it was fictional. one i could truly get would be Clint's pale rider converted remington, val's doc holiday quickdraw nickel/ivory SAA, but the best would be kurt russell's wyatt earp buntline.

now, a question about the pale rider conversion...i have noticed that he has no loading gate and no ejector rod which arent needed with his preferred reload option. he also has a hammer with a firing pin. conversion cylinders from taylor's and Co. have an attachment for the back of the cylinder with 6 individual firing pins. how do i get it converted like clint's pale rider guns? no ejector, no cylinder attachment, no loading gate. firing pin on the hammer. perhaps just the hammer is available?

another goes out to the revolver from trigun.

Break action, 6 o'clock barrel, and in 45 colt. thats a gun i wish was real

 

[Stophel]

The conversion was done at the time of the movie, and appears rather similar to the earliest Remington factory conversions. A backing plate is dovetailed inside the frame behind the cylinder, the hammer nose shaped into a firing pin, and you had to remove the cylinder to load/unload. On some (later?) guns they added a loading notch by cutting into the recoil shield. No gate. I wonder if the shells would back out and lock up the gun if you were shooting uphill??? The .36 Navy Remington factory conversions got a neat looking loading gate.

There's a guy named Bob Millington that does these, but the last I heard, he wasn't taking any more orders. You can check and see, though.

I don't know of anyone else doing these more historically accurate conversions, but I bet someone is. Might check on the CAS board (Cowboy Action Shooting)

 

[2ifbyC]

SS-Standartenführer Kramer’s Luger P-08 in the movie “Where Eagle’s Dare”. I already have Al Lettieri’s Colt Python from the movie (original) “The Getaway”.

 

[dacotah]

From Criminal Minds - Dr Reid's 3" S&W 65.

 

[Rail Driver]

The Webley that the mountie captain uses in "The Untouchables"



Or the Colt Detective Special that Stone carries in the same movie:

 

[XD 45acp]

Ford Fairlane's S&W Model 38 and sleeve rig

 

[XD 45acp]

Talk about guns on tv...This will take you back... First Colt python I ever saw was on a show called "Police Story" in the 70's. The character was Det. Bert Jameson ( played by Don Meredith). That vent rib just made it stand out to me. Dang that pistol was tough.

 

[velojym]

The Colonel's revolver from Avatar. It's built on a Dan Wesson 15-2.

 

[atlanticfire]

Benidict from Last Action Hero his Dan wesson.

 

[Cluster Bomb]

Smith & Wesson Schofield Model 3

 

[Manny]

I'd have to go with Paton's S&W. While I'm not a huge S&W fan I think thier pre-lock N frames are superb.

 

[Dr.Mall Ninja]

686 From Lord of War.

 

[mdauben]

How about two revolvers? The matching ivory handled Navy revolvers carried by Jeff Bridges in the movie Wild Bill:



I really want to get a pair of replica Navy's and add some faux ivory handles to them.

 

[OldCavSoldier]

Patton had .357 S&W's?? Weren't they .45 Colt SAA's with IVORY grips?

LD

One was a Colt SAA .45 he took off the body of a Mexican bandit he killed in 1916 and the other was a Smith&Wesson .357 Magnum....both with ivory grips. "Only a pimp from a New Orleans whorehouse would carry a pearl handled pistol."

 

[iLikeOldgunsIlikeNewGuns]

BIG +1

to Atlanticfire's post! I've always wanted that Dan Wesson from Last Action Hero, that thing is suhweeeet

 

[Dudemeister]

Aside from a bunch of movie prop guns I'd like to have (Vash's Trigun, Togusa's Mateba, Hellboy's Samaritan or the Pulse rifle from Alien), I'll take the snake grip revolvers from the Man with No Name trilogy.

I already converted on one of my SAA, and some day soon I'll do the 1851 Navy conversion from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.



Just a thought though, a M134 Mini Gun has revolving "parts"... does that qualify it as a revolver?

 

[Fishslayer]

No contest. Inspector Calahan's 6.5" M29.
