Actually, judging from the large looking bore it could be .45 caliber!

This movie is also dubbed "Violent City" in other countries and is available from Amazon in DVD and VHS. I dont remember this one too much! It is on my look out list.
Violent City/The Family

The muzzle of Bronson's luger looks like a standard 9mm to me, but it's quite probable, if the movie actually shows him shooting this luger, that a restrictor has been screwed into the muzzle, to allow cycling with 9mm movie blanks. I made up several of these while living in California. Tom H.

The movie was a real "cheapy" and was filmed in Italy, then given different names for various countries. It was also dubbed in a number of languages.

Might as well include "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Dirty Dozen". I know I sure looked at Wildeys differently after "Death Wish 3"...
