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.

+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]]).
