The above link is the video news story about a Detroit, Michigan Dollar General that was robbed by 2 or 3 BG's.
The store's security guard, a former Detroit LEO, was just arriving for work as the BG's were finishing the robbery.
From what I could gather watching the video, the guard used a semi-automatic pistol and killed the 19 year old BG,
who was using a large revolver. The BG who got killed was the one who was menacing the young female clerk with
his wheelgun. His accomplices got away.
Can anyone ID the gun brands/models shown in the video?
TIA / SIA

The revolver looks like a Colt Python, not a common choice of robbers.

...prolly a Rossi knock-off...I can't bear to think a fine Colt is doomed to a life of crime...

Or maybe a Taurus.

A stolen gun most likely . . .

He wouldn't steal a gun! That would be against the law.
