Se7en (aka, Seven) is a 1995 police crime thriller directed by David Fincher that stars Brad Pitt as David Mills, a young detective new to working downtown homicide who is partnered with Lt. William Somerset (Morgan Freeman), a veteran detective who's seen too much and only has a few days to retirement. Together, they try to crack the case of a serial killer who uses the Seven Deadly Sins (Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Lust, Pride, Envy, and Wrath) as his inspiration. The film's dirty, violent, dreary and large metropolitan setting is intentionally never told, as "the city" is supposed to be a fictional, more noir version of New York City. Police Technical Advisers were on the set at all times to correct the actors, which explains the exceptional gun handling seen throughout the film.
The following weapons were used in the film Se7en:

Taurus PT99 AF
A blued Taurus PT99 AF with wood grips is used by John Doe (Kevin Spacey) when Detective Mills (Brad Pitt) and Detective Lt. William Somerset (Morgan Freeman) go to his apartment. We know for sure that this is a Taurus PT99 and not a Taurus PT99 because it has adjustable target sights. The PT99 can be distinguished from the similar Beretta 92FS by its lack of an ambidextrous safety/decocking lever on the slide. Taurus pistols are copies of the earlier Beretta 92 design that had a frame mounted safety, which can clearly be seen on the second screenshot. One of the murder victims is described as having bruises from the muzzle and front sight of Doe's pistol on their head, which seems unlikely since the barrel protrudes significantly past the muzzle, distancing the front sight from the barrel. However, it is also possible that Doe, being independently wealthy, simply used a different gun on that victim.
M1911A1
The city's SWAT officers are seen with unknown M1911A1-series pistols in their tac-vest holsters. Since SWAT team 1911 models varied heavily in the '90s, they could be multiple types.
