== Auto Ordnance M1911A1 ==

While with his cousin, Carlito Brigante ([[Al Pacino]]) takes a chrome plated [[M1911 pistol series#Auto Ordnance M1911A1|Auto Ordnance M1911A1]] with pearl grips from one of the thug's waistband to shoot his way out of the bad drug deal. If you look closely at Carlito's chrome 1911 in some scenes, you can see that it has a 9mm caliber barrel and magazine, which was likely used because .45 blanks don't cycle well. It also has a beveled magazine well.

==Beretta 92SB-C==

== Smith & Wesson Model 10 Snub Nose ==
One of the thugs that Carlito shoots at the bad drug deal manages to fire his nickel [[Smith & Wesson Model 10]] snub. One of the Italians uses one in the final shootout as well.

== Colt MK IV Series 80 ==

Pachanga ([[Luis Guzmán]]) uses a blued [[M1911 pistol series#Colt MK IV Series 80|Series 80]] as his sidearm, as do the other bouncers in Carlito's Club. He most notably uses it to threaten Lalin ([[Viggo Mortensen]]), an old acquaintance of Carlito's, and Benny Blanco from the Bronx ([[John Leguizamo]]). The appearance of this gun is an anachronism as these models weren't available until 1983, while the movie takes place in 1975.

== Beretta 92F ==

Carlito Brigante ([[Al Pacino]]) uses a [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92F/FS|Beretta 92F]] with the finish worn off the end of the barrel as his personal weapon for the rest of the film. This is an anachronism as the film takes place in 1975.

== Smith & Wesson Model 36 ==

Vincent Taglialucci ([[Joseph Siravo]]) also uses a suppressed version and Pete Amadesso ([[Richard Foronjy]]), one of Vincent's friends, also uses one in the final shootout.

== Ruger Security Six ==

The officers on the subway carry [[Ruger Security Six]] revolvers as their sidearms. The grips are missing the Ruger emblem and look like plastic and not wood. The finish is also not glossy which leads one to believe that the gun is fake.
