Detroit: Former LEO uses pistol to kill 19 y.o. robber.

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.
