Note that, in this pic, the cylinder holes are not completely round. Maybe a blank gun was used in this scene.

SACM Model 1935A

Mathieu Carrière, as Inspector Ménard, uses a SACM Model 1935A pistol, although it is never seen well, and it is difficult to obtain a good vidcap.

MAB Model D

It is hard to be sure, but I think that the police officer standing behind the car carries a MAB Model D pistol.

Miscellaneous

M1911 pistol

At the beginning of the movie, we can see several long guns and handguns in a gun rack, in Ferrot’s house. The handgun at the left looks like a M1911. Note that the gun has a lanyard loop.

Unidentified Firearms

Ferrot keeps a rifle, a shotgun and several handguns in a gun rack. The long guns are never seen well, and I cannot identify the handgun in the middle. Possibly it is a CZ 27.

Interesting Details

At the beginning of the movie, we see that Ferrots handloads his own ammo at his reloading bench.

He even casts his bullets.
