Outlaw Charles Prince (Ben Foster) in the Russell Crowe movie "3:10 To Yuma".

Who can forget Cadet Tackleberry?

my bad. I did not know and assumed it was a 4506 based on the look.

do you recall the scene I was talking about?

The information in both hard-copy and internet reference sites is almost exclusively base on what can be seen. In this case, an easy mistake to make but still incorrect. Also, the Bren Tens were Standard Models with hard chrome slides but fitted with internally modified .45 ACP barrels. There were two, both with special serial numbers. The second belongs to Don Johnson although it was on display (and incorrectly labeled) at the Las Vegas Planet Hollywood for a very long time. To my knowledge, it has been gone from that site for some time.





Bruce

John Wayne carried a model 10 in McQ..John crapped bigger then Clint Eastwood.

I've always thought of Sonny's 'real' gun as the Bren Ten. It was only when they went out of production and things like magazines became impossible to get that it was retired in favor of the big S&W .45. And that was never really a classic gun, IMHO. It went through variation after variation and was ultimately dropped. Now Smith builds 1911's in the caliber, and damn nice ones. But it's not really a huge vote of confidence in the old-style semi's. I think the only ones they make now are budget guns?

Mel Gibson in "Payback"
He sports a stylish Models 29 and 27
When he is was not drunk and yelling at women.... He could be pretty badass.

Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) pistol-whips Bruce (Mark Evan Jacobs) with a snub nosed Smith & Wesson Model 36.

That is one of the worst/best pistol-whips I've ever seen.

Barney Fife, I believe he carried a Model 10 from time to time and he only needed one bullet. Nuff said

No 007 mentions yet; here is Roger Moore with what looks like a nickel 29.

IMHO it has to be Lee Marvin in M Squad with honorable mention to Lee Marvin in Point Blank.

Mans got to know his limitations... So I'll go with Clint

There is a older blond lady that has been wilding a ss gun. I think it's a 3 rd gen gun, can't pinpoint what? Any one have a guess..

Clint, hands down. And that's with any gun at any time. I do like Gibson in Payback and I'd almost forgotten about Liotta in Goodfellas--man that was a serious pistolwhipping--but I still gotta go with Eastwood.

Make my day.

Get off my lawn.

*** did the Miami vice guy say?

Clint.

"Porter" (Mel Gibson) in Payback.

They "crunched" his toes with a hammer and he still got the bad guys.

He crashed head on onto a Cadillac to hold up the payroll it was carrying.

I don't even know what he did to the big guy that worked for Stegman, but he got in to see him.

Sorry, I love Clint Eastwood too, but Callahan never did anything that can compare with that in the Bad *** Meter.

It has to be Clint as Will Munny (packing the kid's Schofield), hell he killed women and children!:

'She was a comely young woman and not without prospects. Therefore it was heartbreaking to her mother that she would enter into marriage with William Munny, a known thief and murderer, a man of notoriously vicious and intemperate disposition. When she died, it was not at his hands as her mother might have suspected, but of smallpox. That was 1878."


"Little Bill Daggett: You'd be William Munny out of Missouri. Killer of women and children.
Will Munny: That's right. I've killed women and children. I've killed just about everything that walks or crawled at one time or another. And I'm here to kill you, Little Bill, for what you did to Ned."

"The Schofield Kid: Like I was saying, you don't look no meaner-than-hell, cold-blooded, damn killer.
Will Munny: Maybe I ain't.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, Uncle Pete says you was the meanest ******* son-of-a-bitch alive, and if I ever wanted a partner for a killin', you were the worst one. Meaning the best, on account as your's as cold as the snow and you don't have no weak nerve nor ear.
Will Munny: Pete said that, huh?
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, yeah he did. I'm a damn killer myself. 'Cept, uh, I ain't killed as many as you because of my youth."

Deputy Barney Fife(sigh) finest Lawman ever to wear the sheild.

What did he carry? anyone know?

By the way, in the same movie, Little Bill the sheriff gets off a back handed slap at a particular Colt's revolver!:
"(Little Bill is telling Beauchamp the real story of English Bob's gunfight)
Little Bill Daggett: You see, the night that Corky walked into the Blue Bottle, and before he knows what's happening, Bob here takes a shot at him! And he misses, 'cause he's so damn drunk. Now that bullet whizzing by panicked old Corky, and he did the wrong thing. He went for his gun in such a hurry that he shot his own damn toe off. Meantime Bob here, he's aiming real good, and he squeezes off another, but he misses, because he's still so damn drunk, and he hits this thousand-dollar mirror up over the bar. And now, the Duck of Death is as good as dead. Because Corky does it right. He aims real careful, no hurry, and... BAM! That Walker Colt blew up in his hand, which was a failing common to that model.... "

The Walking Dead?

I think she's got a 3913. It's definately a 3rd gen though, with that hammer drop safety.

Lee Marvin gets my vote.

How about Tom Cruise in Collateral??

YouTube - Collateral at it's best

What about Denzel Washington, -training day-. A pair of 4506's i think.
Segal carried a 645 or 4506 in one or two movies. He's bad.

YouTube - The Best of Tackleberry

Tackleberry could have been Calahan at the Acadamy

"Yo, homie. Is that my briefcase?"

I love that flick.

The man was so fast and deadly with a gun he only ever needed one bullet.

I can say in all honesty, based on my careful observation of the technique of thousands of shooters, in and out of law enforcement, that Deputy Fife has clearly been one of the most influential handgunners of the last 5 decades.

Ray Liotta in "Goodfellas." That pistol whipping was bad to the bone.

1st Place - Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry. 2nd Place - John Wayne in McQ. Not only does he use an S&W revolver in the first portion of the film (sorry, can't remember exactly which model), until he loses his badge and his sidearm is taken from him, he "borrows" a Model 76 sub-machine gun in the latter portion of the film, and uses it to good effect in the climactic car chase/shootout on the beach near the end of the film, rendering the bad guy's car swiss cheese with it! I can't believe nobody has come up with that, yet (though I did see one earlier reference to him in McQ, but no reference to the S&W sub-gun).

Lee Marvin-Point Blank A man done wrong by his wife and friend. He not only breaks people down with that S&W but a Chrysler Imperial!

He also handles a mean S&W 76 subgun in Prime Cut.

Ben Foster as Charlie Prince in 3:10 to Yuma. He carried two S&W Schofields and had an attitude to match.

How about Steve Mcqueen in Nevada Smith? He tracks down 3 men who murdered his parents and on his journey, Brian Keith teaches him to handle a gun, a S&W Schofield. Later he robs a bank so he can get thrown into a prison camp where one of the murders is doing time. He befriends him and talks him into escaping with him into the swamp were he kills him with ,what looks like a M&P, he stole from a guard

"*** did the Miami vice guy say?"


"Maybe you won't even twitch!"-Sonny Crockett

B.

How can you guys forget Chief Dan Matthews (Broderick Crawford) of the Highway Patrol and his 2" S&W M&P?

How about Mel Gibson's character, Porter, in Payback. He was really bad with a 4" 29 that he used to get even with the whole "syndicate", including Lee Marvin of all people. The only bad guy I ever wanted to see win in a movie.....

I gotta admit for me it's Harry Callahan all the way. When he tells the guys robbing the cafe about "we're not just going to let you walk out of here" and they say "who's we?" and he says "Smith, Wesson and me" is enough to do it

Let's not forget Joe Friday (Jack Webb) and Harry Morgan (Bill Gannon) in the modern version or "Dragnet". They carried S&W Model 10's in the 2" blue round butt version in Bianchi crossdraw holsters and Bianchi dump pouches. Talk about snappy dialogue! And the Adam-12 crew.....4" Combat Masterpieces in blue and clamshell holsters.

Wow. Just read thru all of these posts & nobody mentioned Charles Bronson. Ain't any of you guys watched the Death Wish movies?

Naw you are all wrong. Based on what I see the modern day guys are either Justin Long or Shia LeBeuf. I keep seeing that both of them are cast in action movies.

tipoc

McQ used a MAC 11 in I believe .380 not a S&W 76, now Walker in Point Blank did use a 76 at the farm in the end.

What did everyone forget Patton and his Registered Mag? Who else in movies or real life is responsible for wacking so many krauts. Sadly none with the Smith.

I believe Eastwood carried a High Standard Crusader in one Dirty Harry movie and it created a lot of discussion in the shooting rags. Good promotion for both Smith and H&R.
Shotgun Slade racked up more kills with his sawed off double barrel than any other gun slinger in the 1960's TV Westerns.

Adrian Monk

Maybe not the baddest, but certainly worth a mention - Bruce Willis in The Last Boy Scout with his 3 inch Model 13.

"Parker" is the baddest man to carry anything. He could make a J Frame as scary as a 29.
