The following weapons were used in the film Chapter 27:

Smith & Wesson Model 36

In the film, Mark David Chapman (Jared Leto) carries and uses a Smith & Wesson Model 36. The revolver that was used by Chapman to shoot John Lennon in real life was a Charter Arms Undercover, but the Smith & Wesson Model 36 bears a close enough resemblance to a Charter Arms, and was probably used due to its availability.
