Carlito's Way is a 1993 gangster film that marked the second collaboration between Al Pacino and director Brian De Palma following Scarface (1983). Set in the late 1970's, the film stars Al Pacino as a gangster who is granted an early release from prison and is determined not to go back to his old criminal ways, but is pulled back in by his corrupt lawyer (Sean Penn) among others. The film was adapted from a series of novels by Edwin Torres, a New York State superior court judge and author, and a direct-to-video prequel, Carlito's Way: Rise to Power was released in 2005.


The following weapons were used in the film Carlito's Way:


Auto-Ordnance M1911A1

While with his cousin, Carlito Brigante (Al Pacino) takes a chrome plated Auto-Ordnance M1911A1 with pearl grips from one of the thug's waistband to shoot his way out of the bad drug deal. If you look closely at Carlito's chrome 1911 in some scenes, you can see that it has a 9mm caliber barrel and magazine, which was likely used because .45 blanks don't cycle well. It also has a beveled magazine well.

Colt MK IV Series 80

Pachanga (Luis Guzmán) uses a blued Series 80 as his sidearm, as do the other bouncers in Carlito's Club. He most notably uses it to threaten Lalin (Viggo Mortensen), an old acquaintance of Carlito's, and Benny Blanco from the Bronx (John Leguizamo). The appearance of this gun is an anachronism as these models weren't available until 1983, while the movie takes place in 1975.

Ruger Security Six

The officers on the subway carry Ruger Security Six revolvers as their sidearms. The grips are missing the Ruger emblem and look like plastic and not wood. The finish is also not glossy which leads one to believe that the gun is fake.
