Colt Detective Special
At the film's beginning, Andrew "Andy" Dufresne (Tim Robbins) is seen loading a Colt Detective Special while in a drunken state. During the trial for killing his cheating wife and her lover, he says he didn't do it, but threw the gun in the river, ruining his chance of proving his gun didn't commit the crime.
Colt Police Positive
The District Attorney (Jeffrey DeMunn) that questions Dufresne shows the jury a revolver for props effect, which is a Colt Police Positive in .38 caliber. Red (Morgan Freeman) also sees a Colt Police Positive in a pawn shop window.
Winchester Model 12
Several Shawshank guards of Shawshank are armed with Winchester Model 12 shotguns.
Winchester 1894
Other Shawshank guards are seen armed with Winchester 1894 rifles.
M1928 Thompson
A Shawshank guard is seen with a M1928 Thompson when the new inmates are driven in.
M1 Carbine
One of the officers searching for Dufresne after he escapes from prison is armed with an M1 Carbine.
M14
Captain Hadley (Clancy Brown) uses an M14 Rifle fitted with a scope when Tommy (Gil Bellows) tries to tell the prison warden that he knew the man who really killed Dufresne's wife and lover. It is not likely an M21, since prisons aren't usually outfitted with Marine sniper weaponry. Since at the time this scene takes place, the M14 and M21 rifles were in frontline service with the U.S. Military, it is doubtful they would be issued to guards in some prison in New England. In any event, close inspection of the rifle also reveals that it lacks the U.S.G.I. M-14's trademark, the fire control selector lug.
Smith & Wesson Model 10 Snubnose
Warden Norton (Bob Gunton) pulls a Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver with a 2" barrel from his desk when the police try to break into his office to arrest him for tax fraud and murder. He loads up the gun with the intention of fighting them.
Smith & Wesson Model 19
One of the guns 'Red' (Morgan Freeman) eyes in the pawn shop is a Smith & Wesson Model 19.
Colt M1911A1
One of the guns 'Red' (Morgan Freeman) eyes in the pawn shop is a Colt M1911A1.
Smith & Wesson Model 15
One of the guns 'Red' eyes in the pawn shop is a Smith & Wesson Model 15.
