Revolvers

RS-31 / RG-31

Same looking revolver is briefly seen in hands of Saul Panzer (Aleksey Poluyan) in Ep.4. The revolver is a blank firing RS-31 or a gas firing RG-31. Both guns are in fact the same model except for different chambering: RS-31 has 6-shot cylinder for 5.6mm Gevelot small caps, RG-31-00 is also 6-shot gun in 5.6mm blank and gas ammo, and RG-31-02 is chambered in 9 mm gas ammo and has 5-shot cylinder.

In one scene in Ep.1 three NYPD officers aim revolvers at Archie Goodwin. Only one gun is more or less visible, other revolvers are seen partially or very dark and blurry.
Pistols
M1911A1
Archie Goodwin (Sergey Zhigunov) owns two Colt M1911A1 pistols, one blued and another one parkerized (in the original novels Archie carries fictional gun brands, like "Grisson .38", "Marley .32" or "Farger snub nose"). Gang boss Dazy Perrit (Sergey Lysov) holds an M1911 in Ep.1. Mrs. Carlisle (Nataliya Fisson) take Archie's pistol in Ep.4.
