During the scene in Rico's apartment, Corey (Alain Delon) takes an M1911A1 from the safe. Later, it is used by Vogel (Gian Maria Volonté). In the scene in the forest, Paul (Jean-Pierre Janic), Rico's henchman, is also armed with an M1911. An M1911 is briefly seen in the hands of the illegal jewelry trader (Paul Crauchet).
In the opening and the final scenes, Commissioner Mattei (Bourvil) carries a snub nose revolver. It looks similar to a Smith & Wesson Model 36 but the shape of the front sight and of the grip differs.
A Colt-style revolver is used in Jansen's apartments as a decoration (according to the plate, it's an award to Jansen for sharpshooting). It resembles a Colt Official Police but its grip looks different. In the final scene, Jansen is seen with a revolver that is supposed to be the same gun.
A security guard in the jewelry store carries a revolver. Judging by its plain grip with lanyard ring and the general shape, the revolver can be identified as a Smith & Wesson Victory Model or a military service version of the Smith & Wesson Military & Police.
Several handguns are seen in Mattei's apartment as a decoration. One of them appears to be a long-barreled revolver while two others are some pocket guns.
