Porter (Mel Gibson) uses a blued Smith & Wesson Model 27 4" with S&W factory combat grips for the majority of the film after buying it in a pawn shop. It is not a Smith & Wesson Model 29 as previously mentioned, as the diameter of the muzzle and cylinder chambers is clearly too small to be .44 Magnum.

This is movie fiction, as a pillow would not properly suppress a handgun, especially a revolver. It is also pointless since three rounds are fired before this.Error creating thumbnail: File missingPorter holds his Model 27 on the Detectives before handing it to them outside the "Outfit's" building.Error creating thumbnail: File missingArthur Stegman (David Paymer) holds a Model 27 on Porter in the back of a Taxi cab before he takes it from him.Error creating thumbnail: File missingPorter fires the Model 27 in an awkward akimbo stance along with a Beretta 92FS at the Triads, unloading about 13 rounds from his six shot revolver. For whatever reason he chose to put the heavier recoil handgun in his non-dominant hand, a poor choice in the real world.Error creating thumbnail: File missingPorter fires the two guns through the floor of the Triad van. You can see he is simply dry-firing the gun as no muzzle flash is seen, likely a safety procaution for firing blanks at such close proximity.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA close up of the guns firing, with excellent shots of the gun's markings.Error creating thumbnail: File missingPorter rolls out from under the van and shoots the Triad driver.Error creating thumbnail: File missingPorter holds the Model 27 on Pearl (Lucy Liu).Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe gun clicks empty. That's the inconveniance of movie guns, they can fire off a ridiculous amount of ammunition but never have a bullet left when you really need it.Error creating thumbnail: File missingInternal Affiars officers show off Porter's original Model 27 to Det. Hicks (Bill Duke) and Det. Leary (Jack Conley) after Porter left the gun (covered with their fingerprints) at the scene of Val's murder, along with one of their badges.

Nice work following rule number three, finger off the trigger.
Beretta 92FS
Val Resnick (Gregg Henry) carries a Beretta 92FS pistol as his main sidearm, which Porter (Mel Gibson) takes from him and uses for the rest of the film.
At one point in the movie, Porter is attacked by a group of Chinese gangsters he had robbed earlier, two of them are armed with M3 "Grease Guns". They clearly have a charging handle making them the older M3s, not M3A1s.
