The .38 caliber Colt Detective Special snubnose revolver is the weakest firearm in the game. It has very limited range and stopping power. Usually carried by detectives but they are also occasionally carried by police officers and gangsters as a backup weapon. In the later missions of the game Tommy himself carries one as a backup weapon, but with no additional bullets for it.
Colt M1911A1
The most common pistol in the game is the .45 caliber Colt M1911A1. It has good stopping power and a high rate of fire. Very effective at close range.The main sidearm of Tommy Angelo.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
The .38 caliber Smith & Wesson Model 10 Military & Police is the weapon of choice of the Lost Heaven police department, but it is also carried by various gangsters and is given to the player in a couple of missions.
Smith & Wesson Model 27
The most powerful pistol in the game is the .357 Magnum Smith & Wesson Model 27. It is used by some enemy gangsters. It is also used quite prominently as a sidearm by Paulie (in the mission "Great Deal"), and Don Salieri (in "Bon Appetit"). Paulie's use of it in "Great Deal" is anachronistic, because the mission takes place in 1933, even though the Model 27 was first manufactured in 1935.
The gun is also used in earlier missions, which take place in 1930 to 1935, making its use at least 5 years prior to is production
