The following weapons were used in the film Wild Target :
Beretta 92FS A Beretta 92FS is used by Victor Maynard (Bill Nighy ) in several hits. He owns at least two, with one of them equipped with a LAM and suppressor. His mother Louisa (Eileen Atkins ) calls the Beretta the "Pistol of Princes," reminding Victor that she gave him one for his seventh birthday (although it probably wasn't a modern 92FS).

This leads to him gripping his weapons in odd ways.
