Choice of Arms (original title Le choix des armes) is a 1981 French crime movie directed by Alain Corneau and starring Yves Montand as a retired criminal Noel Durieux, Catherine Deneuve as Noel's wife Nicole and Gérard Depardieu as a young and aggressive criminal Mickey.
A Smith & Wesson Model 27 with 4" barrel is used by Sylvain Constantini (uncredited) during the ambush at Serge Olivier (Pierre Forget) and Mickey (Gérard Depardieu). Mickey takes Sylvain's revolver and uses it throughout the film.
A Colt Python with 4" barrel is used by inspector Sarlat (Gérard Lanvin) after he looses his Browning Hi-Power. Python is also seen in hands of Andre (Jean-Claude Bouillaud) and in Jean's (Christian Marquand) armoury. Though according to the story these are different revolvers, all three seem to be the same movie prop.
Three snub nose revolvers are seen in Jean's armoury. They seem to be Smith & Wesson Model 36s. Two of them have square butts and lack logo on the grip so they can be not genuine Model 36s but some clone of European origin.
A Colt Combat Commander is used by Roland Davout (Etienne Chicot) during the ambush at Serge Olivier (Pierre Forget) and Mickey (Gérard Depardieu). Noel Durieux (Yves Montand) also uses a Colt Combat Commander until it is confiscated by police. A Colt Combat Commander is seen in Jean's (Christian Marquand) armoury. Though according to the story these are different pistols, all three seem to be the same movie prop.
A pump action shotgun with high-capacity magazine tube and wood furniture is seen in Jean's armoury. It seem to be a Mossberg 500. In the scene of bank robbery a security guard is armed with a pump action shotgun that also has a high-capacity magazine tube so it can be the same movie prop.
