The following weapons were used in the film Serpico:



Pistols

Colt Woodsman

One of the Spanish drug dealers shoots Serpico in the face with a .22 caliber Colt Woodsman 3rd Series Target, with the doctors later telling Serpico's parents that the low caliber of the bullet most likely saved his life.

Browning Hi-Power

Towards the end of the film, Serpico (Al Pacino) purchases for himself a Browning Hi-Power with target sights from the famous John Jovino gun shop in New York City. The salesman incorrectly tells him it "takes a 14-shot clip". Although a Hi-Power can have a maximum capacity of fourteen 9 mm rounds, the magazine (not clip!) itself can only carry thirteen. Serpico tries in vain to draw his Hi-Power during the fake drug buy, but is unable to get a shot off. The Hi-Power from this movie was eventually sold by Heritage Auction in a 2018 listing.

Smith & Wesson Model 36

Many of the NYPD officers and detectives throughout the film use Smith & Wesson Model 36 snubnose revolvers. Officer Frank Serpico (Al Pacino) carries a white-gripped model when he becomes a plainclothes officer, Bob Blair (Tony Roberts) carries one on his belt, and Chief Sidney Green (John Randolph) has one by his nightstand in the opening scene.
