Default S&W Autos in Movies

Is it just me or do most movies lack ANY Smith & Wesson autos in them. I know the Miami Vice TV show and recent movie had them. Saw a few in Pineapple Express and Super Bad. The first season of Breaking Bad on AMC had a 4506 in a show or two. Trying to think of more off the top off my head. What others have you all seen Smith Autos in??

The Shield, Training Day, I think Danny Glover carried a 5906 in one of the Lethal Weapon movies along with this Model 19.

IMFDB (Internet Movie Firearms Database) is an indispensable source of info. Here is the page that has most any S&W you can imagine. Category:Gun - imfdb :. guns in movies :. movie guns :. the internet movie firearms database I have wasted many hours on this site. Not as many as here of course!

I checked that out. The S&W autos used on Southland are 3913's and a 5906 or 4006. Not a 4566 as stated.

I do love southland...I thought it was interesting that the veterans officers and detectives on the show use S&W's but the probie uses a glock...anyways I cant tell which model he's holding here, but a good shot either way.

S&W 4506 is very prominent in Training Day. Alonzo carries a pair...

Tom Selleck carries a Smith & Wesson "Gunsite" 1911 in the Jesse Stone made for TV movies.





If you'll pause the below linked video around 2:37 or so, you can see a good shot of it.

I think all of the robbery team on "RESEVOIR DOGS" carried S&W 5906's.

Seems like it's just you.

I see a number of S&W's on television and in movies, but not as much as I see a few other brands. Of course most of the time this is because of prop people. I have seen many shows where they brandish a Glock that is clearly one sold piece of black resin. You can throw it, drag it across the ground, etc. and no one cares. Prop outfits can produce dozens of these guns for very little money. With S&W you actually need a gun. But since I regularly see the same cheap Crossman BB gun (sort of 1911ish) on TV shows and in movies, I find it hard to believe that most of these prop guys and/or gun consultants know what they're doing. Either that or the show is so low budget they just ran out to Walmart for their props.

The Alien Nation TV series from a few years back had the main character using a 6906, I think his partner did too.

Cooper is holding a 5906 or a 4006. It is a stepped frame gun so not a 4566. I too love Southland! Great show and they get a lot of the little things right. How ever Cooper should have a 4566. Far as I know that and the 4506 are the only S&W autos approved by LAPD.

Nice 911 there with the Whale Tail! Oh, and someone should really teach Martin Lawrence how to hold that 4506. His hand is way too low on the grip.

Just prior to that he 'rubs' the guns together, then tapped the barrels too...

Before holding them together in one hand, barrels first as a hammer, only to pound them into the perps privates...

And when he met Hoyt in the restuarant for breakfast, one of his pistols was unloaded, as he loaded in the 'office' (aka, car) after they walked out...

They did a good job with some of the gunplay in this moving, but the dual wielding gunbattle kind of hurt it IMO...

Yeah, I noticed that too.

I also couldn't help but notice, that no matter how good of an actor ol' Denzel is, he still holds his weapon like a damned gangsta.

I recently bought a bunch of fine Smith Revolvers and ONE semi....model 41....

He has 4 more I need to go back for.

One was a PROP gun... ( didn't look at it closely cause i was surrounded by revolvers) that was same as gun used in Movie "Taking of Pelham One Two Three......... was a "full auto" Smith.... through the center of the barrel you can see a "split"..... a piece of metal...... he says if you look closely in the movie on a close up you see the same thing.... showing you it is a prop... Has a mag that comes out an bullets in it... can't chamber of course but looks real.... except when you look down the barrel and see the piece running across it. Draw a circle in your mind and then a line through the middle...that's what I'm talking about....

I can get THAT too if I want it.

Anyone know what it was??? Value?

I'll give you $25 for it +shipping---that's about as much as I will pay for a gun that doesn't shoot real ammo

I did. Before Denzel gets on the train the cop hands him a PPK, when he pulls it out 15 minutes later, it has morphed into a Kahr with a manual safety, he actually clicks it off? I still thought it was a very good movie. I just don't know how that stuff gets by.

Yeah, I got a good chuckle when that PPK turned into a Kahr.

I see lots of S&W semi autos in flicks. That adjustable sight with the side wings really makes them stand out.

I can't remember what show it was, but in it a cop had a 5906 with adjustable sights, then in the same scene it suddenly had Novak sights, then back to adjustable. I got a good laugh while my family looked at me clueless.

I recently acquired a model 639. While I was looking for info on this model I ended up on the imfdb. It looks like when they made "Beverly Hills Cop" the same 639 was used by 4 different characters. Seems both good guys and bad guys enjoy stainless pistols in CA.
At least the main character Axel sticks with his Hi Power throughout the film.Beverly Hills Cop - imfdb :. guns in movies :. movie guns :. the internet movie firearms database
