The following firearms can be seen in the film The Getaway:
Colt Government
The main sidearm of bank robber Carter 'Doc' McCoy (Steve McQueen) is a Colt Government. An M1911A1 also appears in the hand of his wife Carol (Ali MacGraw) when she shoots Benyon and during the hotel shootout. A Star Model B is substituted for the Colt in scenes that require the pistol to be fired, as the Colt was not reliable with blanks. Ali MacGraw uses a Colt Model 1903/1908
Colt Python
Rudy Butler (Al Lettieri) carries a .357 Magnum Colt Python revolver during the bank robbery, his kidnapping of Harold (Jack Dodson) and Fran (Sally Struthers), and the final hotel shootout.
Colt Trooper Mk III
In a continuity mistake of the movie, we see that Rudy's Colt Python is replaced for a Colt Trooper Mk III in a few scenes at Laughlin's (Dub Taylor) hotel.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Frank Jackson (Bo Hopkins) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 10 during the bank robbery, which he uses to shoot the bank guard.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Jack Benyon (Ben Johnson) has a Smith & Wesson Model 36 out on his table when Doc brings him the bank robbery money to count. He grabs it just before he is shot by Carol.
Ruger Mark I Standard
When McCoy is in the gun shop, we can see briefly several guns, including a Ruger Mk I Standard, hanging on the wall (I think there is also a Colt Woodsman, but I am not really sure).
High Standard 8111
McCoy goes into a gun shop to buy a 12-gauge pump shotgun and is given this rarely-seen High Standard 8111 by the shopkeeper.
Browning Hi-Power
Max, one of the cowboys during the final shootout, carries a Browning Hi-Power.
Smith & Wesson Model 10 Heavy Barrel
The bank guard carries a Smith & Wesson Model 10 Heavy Barrel revolver, as McCoy tells his bank robbery team.
Colt Trooper MK III
Cully (Roy Jenson) and the other cowboys all carry revolvers during the final shootout in the hotel.
Smith & Wesson M76
One of the cowboys during the hotel shootout uses a 9 mm Smith & Wesson M76 submachine gun.
