Handguns
Smith & Wesson Model 36 "Chief's Special"
The S&W 36 is the revolver carried by LAPD Detective Ray Tango (Sylvester Stallone ). He uses it in the opening scenes to fire at an approaching big rig that is transporting cocaine. He appears to be able to hit the windshield, and make a tight group, from a long distance, despite the poor sights on the gun. He later uses it against Perret (Jack Palance ).

Walther PPK/S
A nickel plated Walther PPK/S is Cash's backup gun. It is also the gun used to frame him and Tango. In this occasion, the gun is fitted with a sound suppressor. He mentions that his sights are off in the film, despite the fact that the sights on a Walther PPK/S are fixed to the slide and not adjustable.

He says the "sight shifted". This could easily mean the rear sight was left or right of center since it's fitted onto the slide in this way.
