Short Time is a 1990 action comedy directed by Gregg Champion and starring Dabney Coleman as Seattle PD Detective Burt Simpson who is in several days before retirement.

Desert Eagle Mark I

A bright chrome Desert Eagle Mark I is used by Carl Stark (Xander Berkeley) as his primary weapon, sometimes with a suppressor.
