Help settle some controversy please!

Can anyone identify the revolver Indiana Jones carried in the films? thanks a ton to everyone! :)

Can't describe the gun, but according to the sound effects cd with the newly released three movie pack, the sound you hear when it is fired is from a 30-30 Winchester.

Hmm if I remember right it was a break action, one of the Webleys I think.

Most of the time he uses a .38 Smith and Wesson number two hand ejector model. Depending on the film and the scene the prop guys handed him a number of different pistols including a Webley. If you watch the bar fight in Raiders of the Lost Ark closely, you'll see his revolver turn into a semi-auto depending on which way the camera is facing.

Lol sionaprhys now that you say that, I probably knew that. God knows how many movies I've noticed do the ole switcharoo with guns from one scene to another. It's been years since I watched Indy and forgotten any blunders. For some reason the Webley was only thing to come to mind. :)

I always thought his pistol was a large frame Smith, and the scene of him shooting the guys in(and on)the truck when Marian was kidnaped sure looked like a large caliber. the .44, .45 acp, and .45 colt caliber hand ejectors were common in the era. Also, in CHRONOLOGICAL time(the date of the suppossed setting), the temple of doom was first. He lost his pistol when the girl dropped it out the window of the car. He may have been smart enough to get a second gun for a back-up after that incident, (remember he always carried the leather shoulder bag) and a .45 auto Colt could be the same caliber as his primary pistol. (yeah, lots of us like revolvers better, but have an auto for those moments when the quick re-load may matter) If you have it on DVD, zoom it in and freeze-frame it to see better which model he used. The large frame guns look much more "square" in the cylinder than the .38 frame.

Oops, Malamute's right.
