A Gang Story (French Title: Les Lyonnais/The Lyonnais) is a 2011 French crime drama directed by Olivier Marchal. Loosely based on a true story, the film is about a former bank robber named Edmond "Momon" Vidal (Gérard Lanvin) who is forced to look into his past as the leader of the most notorious armed robbery gangs of the early 1970s when his best friend and former partner in crime (Tchéky Karyo) comes out of hiding to seek his help.

The following weapons are seen in the film A Gang Story (Les Lyonnais):


Handguns

Colt M1911A1

The Colt M1911A1 is the main weapon of Serge Suttel (Tchéky Karyo), used by him in both the present day and in flashbacks of his earlier years as a bank robber. Christo (Daniel Duval) uses a M1911A1 with a long slide while protecting Serge's daughter Lilou.
