Colt Official Police

Richard Dane (Michael C. Hall) uses a Colt Official Police to kill a burglar in his house early on in the film. He also uses it during the warehouse shootout. In some scenes the Colt appears to be missing the ejector rod, and is possibly a stunt replica used for non-firing scenes.
