Mr. Longbaugh ([[Benicio del Toro]]) and Mr. Parker ([[Ryan Phillippe]]) use [[M1911 pistol series#Colt MK IV Series 70|Colt Series 70 Government Model]] pistols as their main handguns. Used throughout the movie. Unlike most films where handguns are "Mexican carried", they carry theirs in IWB holsters which is a much safer and smarter way to carry. The Colts used in the film are 9mm caliber noted by the tapered barrels and crimp indention in the magazines.
