Erica Bain (Jodie Foster) purchases a Kahr K9 from a blackmarket gun dealer (Angel Sing) to carry for her own protection, eventually using it to kill several criminals as she gradually becomes a vigilante.
It is noteworthy that Foster never really fires her Kahr K9 throughout the movie. Every time she fires, it is a digital flash. Probably easier due to the restrictive New York City filming locations.
Erica Bain's first action as a vigilante involves her defending herself from a murderous thug armed with a Smith & Wesson Model 66 Snub Nosed Revolver with aftermarket Black custom grips - .357 magnum.
