Speaking of cop shows from the eighties, I have been catching some of the TJ Hooker reruns lately. It is Hokie and very unrealistic at times but mildly entertaining. What I really like is all of the revolvers in every episode. The shows are packed with revolver action. Hookers primary is a colt four inch, maybe a python? I have seen smiths and colts of all sizes and finishes from both bad guys and good guys. Duty leather is the old break front style. Bad guys typically expend their six rounds while officers typically get it done without reloads so not a lot of speed loader action.

Best movie for revolvers?
- Thread starter circa81
- Start date
Payback with Mel Gibson as well as the original, Point Blank with Lee Marvin are both good movies for revolvers (particularly if you like 4" N-Frame Smiths). Death Hunt with Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin also has some good revolvers in it but it's best for those who like vintage rifles (Bronson uses a Savage 99 while Marvin uses a Krag carbine IIRC).

Ok I have an unconventional one how about the newer movie FASTER starring the Rock Dwayne Johnson. It’s a pretty unrealistic movie but one of the few that incorporates a Ruger Alaskan revolver in .454 Casull. The gun gets quite a bit of show time in the movie too. As for the best I’ll go with everyone else and say the Clint Eastwood flicks.
For TV, FBI profiler Dr. Reed on Criminal Minds carries a revolver, in a belt holster that was apparently designed to protect his appendix from incoming rounds ... he's portrayed as a nerd, has somehow gotten dispensation from the agency to carry a wheel gun and has killed a few baddies ...

Classic opening scene in Sharky's Machine has the pimp wreak mayhem with two (!) concealed carry Model 29's. Sharky (Burt Reynolds) also carries a revolver through about the first half, then switches to a Colt Commander.
Leathel wealon 3 murtaugh switchex to or stsrted carrying a smith 3913 (I think) bjt some kknd of smith auto as a second or back up in a galco, hanging right ovrr his K frame.
LA Cknfadential is one of.my favorites ever, lots of good gun use and handleing, ractical and realistic.fkr the period.
Mulholland Falls was another great one, one scene Mike Madson emptys a nes service tosses it aside and draws a det specal from an ankle holster, one nNick Nolte straps a dec special ankle.rig on. Also the most screen time a flat sap.has ever seen lol

Lethal Weapon 3
Smith & Wesson 5906
As a backup to his usual revolver, Murtaugh can be seen using a Smith & Wesson 5906 pistol, most notably when engaging in a shootout with a group of gangbangers.

to the person who posted about the original (tim burton) Batman movie, the Joker used a .357 mag 18 inch buntline to shoot down the batwing, and yeah that is pretty awesome and should at least be metioned for best revolver movies.
First off,.sorry for my horrible typing last night.
Chuck Norris did carry a 6" 629 in both Lone Wolf McQuaide and the earlier seasons of walker. I heard, not verifyied, that t was the same revolver both tikes and one he owned personally. He is a big gun collector and competative shooter for those who didnt know.
For anyone who remembers the "88 Magnum" from Johnny Dangourusly, I owe you a beer once, ONCE

Incorrect. Nolte was given the .45 from somebody at his precinct, and he put the gun into the same holster as his .44 had been in and it magically fit.
Blue Steel starring Jamie lee Curtis. Revolver **** in that one. Curtis has a model 10 and the killer uses a gorgeous model 29.
