Smith & Wesson 659

Mr. White (Harvey Keitel), Mr. Orange (Tim Roth), Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi), and Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen) are all armed with one Smith & Wesson 659 9mm pistol. They are distinguished from M1911s and other Smith & Wesson variants by their second generation features, stainless steel construction, double-stack frames and slide safety decockers. Though all of the guns look to be the same, some have the old squared trigger guards, and some have rounded ones.

-In a continuity error, Mr. Pink ([[Steve Buscemi]]) is seen with a [[Smith & Wesson 669]] in his shoulder holster when he is knocked on the ground by Mr. White ([[Harvey Keitel]]). It is noted as so by its wraparound grips, spurred hammer, lack of adjustable sites, shorter frame, and magazine plate.

-== Smith & Wesson 639 ==
+==Smith & Wesson 639==
+Though everyone is given a Smith & Wesson 659 for the robbery, Mr. White ([[Harvey Keitel]]) is seen using a [[Smith & Wesson 639]] with Pachmayr grips. Being a professional thief, this is most likely White's personal gun, and not a continuity error in the film. During the getaway, he is seen dual-wielding his personal Smith & Wesson 639 with his issued Smith & Wesson 659, further strengthening this theory. In the special edition DVD, a deleted scene can be found which briefly shows Mr. White's/Larry Dimmick's police record. This informs us that his weapon of choice is a Smith & Wesson 9mm, even further strengthening the personal 639 theory.

-Though everyone is given a [[Smith & Wesson 659]] for the robbery, Mr. White ([[Harvey Keitel]]) is seen using a [[Smith & Wesson 639]] with Pachmayr grips most of the time. We can assume, being that he is a professional thief, that this is his personal gun, and not a continuity error in the film. During the getaway, he is seen dual wielding his personal [[Smith & Wesson 639]] with his issued [[Smith & Wesson 659]], further strengthening this theory. In the special edition DVD, on the second disk a deleted scene can be found which briefly shows Mr White's/Larry Dimmick's police record. This informs us that his weapon of choice is a Smith and Wesson 9mm, even further strengthening the personal 639 theory.
+==Smith & Wesson 6906==
+When Mr. White hits Mr. Pink, you can briefly see Mr. Pink's gun holstered, though it has changed to a [[Smith & Wesson 6906]].

+==Charter Arms Off Duty==
+Mr. Orange's ([[Tim Roth]]) second gun is a [[Charter Arms Off Duty]] with Pachmayr grips. He checks to make sure the cylinder is loaded, swings the cylinder back in and then places the gun in his coat pocket. Mr. Orange is also seen with this gun in a paddle holster in an earlier scene, so it is safe to assume that this is his police-issued sidearm.

-Mr. Orange ([[Tim Roth]]) , packs 2 handguns while getting ready to meet Eddie and Mr. White for a meeting with Joe.  The automatic he holsters on his ankle is a [[Beretta Jetfire]] in .25 ACP.
+==Colt Detective Special==
+After Mr. White ([[Harvey Keitel]]) shoots the pursuing cops with his two pistols, he and Mr. Orange ([[Tim Roth]]) walk until they find a car driving by. They point their guns at the female driver whose car they attempt to commandeer. The woman takes a pre-1972 nickel-plated [[Colt Detective Special]] from her glove compartment and shoots Mr. Orange in the stomach as he opens the door to pull her out of the car. Another Detective Special, distinguished by its round-edged butt, is "Mexican carried" by Joe ([[Lawrence Tierney]]).

Another Detective Special is "Mexican carried" by Joe Cabot ([[Lawrence Tierney]]), distinguished as a Detective Special by its round edged butt, which he uses to shoot Mr. Orange. It is likely that the same gun was used in both scenes.
