The follwoing firearms were used in The Hitcher (1986):
Smith & Wesson Model 66
The Smith & Wesson Model 66 is used by several LE officers, and is picked up by Jim Halsey (C. Thomas Howell).
Remington 870
The Remington 870 is used by the State police, specifically during the Highway chase.

A State trooper riding in a Helicopter fires on Jim Halsey during the Highway chase with a M16/SP1. Several of the State troopers escorting John Ryder (Rutger Hauer) are also armed with M16/SP1s.
Custom Smith & Wesson 629
At the end of the movie, Jim Halsey (C. Thomas Howell) grabs Captain Esteridge's sidearm. It is a 2.5"-barreled, Mag-na-ported S&W N-frame (probably, a Smith & Wesson 629 ).
