 Robert Rath/Joseph Rath ([[Sylvester Stallone]]) and Miguel Bain ([[Antonio Banderas]]) both use integrally suppressed [[Ruger Mk I / Mk II / Mk III Pistol|Ruger Mk II]] pistols.

It's identified as a MK II since the receiver has beveled cuts and MK I's did not.  Mark I's came with fixed & adjustable sights.  Mk I's also all have a "european release" for the magazine also known as a "heel release". The Rugers used in the film are clearly Mk II's as they have the beveled cut receivers (where you pull the "action" back to cock it. -- The standard Ruger .22 has always been available with fixed (standard model )& adjustable sights (target model). It could be a MKI or MKII. -- All of the Ruger pistols are MK II if they have the slide release - and they are not integrally suppressed they have screw on cylinders.  As with most movies there are many inconsistencies and both Mark I's & Mark II's were probably used throughout the film.

	'''''Assassins''''' is a 1995 thriller about an aging hitman, Robert Rath, ([[Sylvester Stallone]]) being pursued by a up and coming assassin ,Miguel Bain, ([[Antonio Banderas]]); who desires to take Rath's place at the top of the pyramid. Rath is offered a final contract on a computer hacker named Electra(Julianne Moore). Though the contract will provide for his retirement Rath goes on the run with Electra and Bain is given a contract on both of them. Direct by Richard Donner the original script was written by [[The Wachowskis]]. Producer Joel Silver purchased the script for one-million dollars (USD) at approximately the same time that he purchased the script of ''[[The Matrix]]'' from the siblings. [[Richard Donner]] wanted the violence toned down before agreeing to work on the film so writer/director Brian Helgeland (''[[L.A. Confidential]], [[Payback]]'', ''[[Man on Fire (2004)]]'') was brought in to do a one page rewrite. Rath's character was made more sympathetic and the relationship between Rath and Electra was ~~more evolved~~. Helgeland received co-writer credit. The Wachowskis tried to have their names removed from the credits claiming that the story was "totally rewritten" by Helgeland. Their names remained and Mr. Silver's check was not returned.
