Revolvers in pop culture

[jhvaughan2]

I watched the "Big Sleep" a couple weeks back with Philip Marlowe carrying a couple revolvers on a flip down section under his car dash.

It appeared to be a .32 Colt and a .38 Smith.
Very cool

Too cool. I always loved this movie. Still trying to figure how to get that feature into my Dodge.

A few weeks ago on "Desperate Housewives" Bree (an NRA member) shows the other ladies a S&W snub nose and says "A .38 is a girl's best friend," while Gabby comments on what lovely pearl grips it has.

I love it. In a dangerous world, of course, she's right. And as long as those grips aren't plastic, she's got her snub dressed for every occasion, too.

Everyone is forgetting the most iconic semi auto, and perhaps pistol in movies and popular culture in general. The DESERT EAGLE. It always seems to find its way into movies (the matrix, boondock saints, face-off, and a few others) and many many video games. I'd bet the only reason the DE is still on the gun market is because of its popularity in pop culture.

"In Season 2 Episode 12, The Man in the Cell, Brennan begins carrying a 4" Smith & Wesson Model 500 that she claims to have bought at the mall. She and Booth both use the weapon in the final showdown with a murderer in Season 3 Episode 5, Mummy in the Maze.

In the pilot episode, Bones can be seen using a stainless, snubnosed revolver (possibly a Smith & Wesson Model 60) at an indoor shooting range and later to wound a suspect in the leg." http://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title=Bones

Thanks to IMFDB, the source for all things shootin' at the movies. I haven't seen the TV series "Bones" in a while, but revolvers show up from time to time. In one episode Booth remarks on the size of Bone's stainless snubby she's weilding as they approach a house. Must be the S&W 500 she "picked up at the mall."

Although I'm a wheel man all the way, one of my all time favorite TV scenes is the one in The X-Files where Agent Scully is happily cleaning her semiauto (Sig P-226?) at the kitchen table on a rare Sunday morning off duty.

You do realize that this was a popular television series in the 1970's right? Starring David Soul (Hutch) and Paul Michael Glasser (Starsky) right?

Oh that Starsky and Hutch! I thought we were talking Huggy Bear and Antonio Fargas here. Did anyone see that Wilson one? That sucked so bad black holes in space spit it out. I watched three minutes of it and was blind and deaf for 7 hours.

Of course! With Justin Fargas' daddy as Huggy Bear! A decent show and the one I thought they were speaking of. The movie of a few years ago with what's his name and what's his face I did not care for.

There are some top-break revolvers in Boondock Saints 2. They are involved in a pretty dramatic scene of Russian Roulette.
