Marlowe holds the Colt DS. The tagline "Nothing says goodbye like a bullet" was a line in an early script, but is not actually said in the film.

Beretta 92SB

In the DVD cover for the film, Marlowe is seen holding what appears to be a Beretta 92SB, but this was likely digitally added as the character never is seen with this handgun in the film and this handgun was not introduced until the 1980's.
