The Smith & Wesson 459 is the sidearm of FBI Special Agent Will Graham. The FBI purchased 803 S&W 459's and issued it to agents in the early eighties. The second generation 459 was manufactured from 1979-1987. Since the film begins in 1980, Graham's 459 would be consistent. He is seen carrying the S&W in his holster for the rest of the film. He also carries a Smith & Wesson Model 49 as his backup gun in an ankle holster. The Model 49 Bodyguard was authorized by the FBI for carry in 1972.
