Revolvers
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Brainerd Chief of Police Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 36 in a shoulder holster modified to accommodate her pregnancy. She uses it to shoot a fleeing Gaear in the leg after she catches him shoving the remains of Carl into a woodchipper at the lake.
Smith & Wesson Model 28
Wade Gustafson (Harve Presnell) takes a Smith & Wesson Model 28 to the confrontation with Carl in Minneapolis. During the confrontation, Wade also uses the revolver. Marge can also be seen with this revolver in a continuity error. It's also possible that this is the revolver holstered on the hip of the Minnesota State Trooper who Gaear and Carl confront during a traffic stop.
Colt Official Police
The police officers who come to arrest Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) in Bismarck in the finale are armed with Colt Official Police revolvers.
Pistols
SIG-Sauer P226
Gaear Grimsrud (Peter Stormare) and Carl Showalter (Steve Buscemi) use a nickel-plated SIG-Sauer P226 throughout the movie. Gaear uses it during a confrontation with the state trooper and the two teens outside of Brainerd. Carl later uses it during a confrontation with Wade Gustafson in Minneapolis. Whenever the SIG is actually fired, a SIG-Sauer "Non Gun" is used.
SIG-Sauer "Non-Gun"
As mentioned previously, the SIG-Sauer "Non-Gun" is used in almost all scenes where the nickel SIG-Sauer P226 is actually fired by the kidnappers. This is most likely due to the extremely close proximity at which Peter Stormare and Steve Buscemi tend to use the weapon when firing at other actors; in such circumstances, blanks would be too dangerous.
