Smith & Wesson Model 27/28 N-frame

At the beginning of the movie, Albert Ganz (James Remar) uses a blued Smith & Wesson Model 27 / 28 N-frame revolver. Although the handgun is never seen closely, it does not seem to have a heavy barrel, but a tapered one. Therefore, it should be a Model 24, 27 or 28, instead of a Model 29 or 25 (the "Mountain gun" version of the Model 29 had not been released in 1982).
