Pistols

Beretta 92S

Most widely used handguns in the movie are Beretta 92S pistols, indetified by the rounded trigger guard, the magazine release catch on the bottom of the grip and non-ambidextrous safety. Their appearance in pre-1977 events is anachronistic. Beretta 92S is the preferred weapon of Renato Vallanzasca (Kim Rossi Stuart). Several of his accomplices and numerous police officers also use Beretta pistols.
