During the scene in Rico's apartments Corey (Alain Delon) takes an Colt M1911 from the safe. Later it is used by Vogel (Gian Maria Volonté). In the scene in the forest Paul (Jean-Pierre Janic), Rico's henchman, is also armed with an M1911. An M1911 is briefly seen in hands of the illegal jewellery trader (Paul Crauchet).
In the opening and the final scenes Comissioneer Mattei (Bourvil) carries a snub nose revolver. It looks similar to Smith & Wesson Model 36 but the shape of the front sight and of the grip differs.
A Colt-style revolver is used in Jansen's apartments as a decoration (according to the plate, it's an award to Jansen for sharpshooting). It resembles Colt Official Police but its grip looks different. In the final scene Jansen is seen with a revolver that is supposed to be the same gun.
A security guard of the jewellery store carries a revolver. Judging by its plain grip with lanyard ring and the general shape, the revolver can be identified as a Smith & Wesson Victory Model or a military service version of Smith & Wesson Military & Police.
Several handguns are seen in Mattei's apartments as a decoration. One of them appears to be a long barreled revolver while two others are some pocket guns.
