Erica Bain (Jodie Foster) purchases a Kahr K9 from a blackmarket gun dealer (Angel Sing) to carry for her own protection, eventually using it to kill several criminals as she gradually becomes a vigilante.
It is noteworthy that Foster never really fires her Kahr K9 throughout the movie. Every time she fires, it is a digital flash. Probably easier due to the restrictive New York City filming locations.
Erica Bain's first action as a vigilante involves her defending herself from a murderous thug armed with a Smith & Wesson Model 66 Snub Nosed Revolver with a 3" barrel and aftermarket Black custom grips - .357 magnum.

I think the bottom left revolver is a Smith & Wesson .32 Double Action Second Model Revolver --AdAstra2009 02:19, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
I believe you are correct. The gun above it looks like a Ruger Mk II, and the gun next to it looks like a Cz 83 pistol. The others gun are at too great an angle to ID. - Gunmaster45
Curses. I was afraid of that. You still have some of the best eagle eyes on IMFDB for Identifying hard to see guns.... MoviePropMaster2008 02:58, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
Green Screen shots
Error creating thumbnail: File missingWhat is interesting is how many GREEN screen shots there are of Foster shooting, probably the most expedient way to film scenes of firing weapons in a city (New York City) that is notorious for being difficult to fire live guns with blanks.
