Handguns

Colt Python

Sheriff Hague (Michael Biehn) carries a 4 inch stainless Colt Python with rubber grips as sidearm throughout the film. Deputy Tolo (Tom Savini) also uses a similar Colt Python outside the police station. During that scene, at the hospital and at the Bone Shack, both Hague and Tolo’s Colt Python switches to a 4 inch stainless Ruger Security Six in a continuity error back and forth. Wray (Freddy Rodriguez) is given a Ruger Security Six by Sheriff Hague at The Bone Shack it where it switches back to a Colt Python and he uses it through the end of the film.

Colt Python Stainless Steel variant with 4" Barrel and Colt marked rubber combat grips - .357 Magnum

Sheriff Hague (Michael Biehn) fires his Colt Python at the zombies devouring a Sheriff Deputy. Director Robert Rodriguez notes on the DVD commentary that Michael Biehn asked him if there should be a shot of him reloading. Rodriguez said the audience would be wondering more about how Cherry fires her gun without pulling the trigger, than gun reloads.

Ruger Security Six

Deputy Tolo (Tom Savini) uses a 4 inch stainless Ruger Security Six revolver with Pachmayr grips at the police station and at the hospital. Sheriff Hague (Michael Biehn) hands one to Wray at The Bone Shack (which changes to a Colt Python after leaving on the pocket bike), while Cherry hands him a Smith & Wesson Model 586. Both are flashily twirled.

After J.T. creates a distraction, Wray manages to get a 1911A1 off one of the soldiers. But one of the other soldiers draws a Ruger Security Six on Wray.

Wray fires the 1911A1 upside down at the soldier. His thumb would be hurting like hell from the slide recoiling back. Also the grip safety must be faulty in order fire.

I have seen me some crazy ass shit in my day...but I ain't never seen me a one-legged stripper. I have seen me a stripper with one breast, and I've seen me a stripper with 12 toes, and I've seen me a stripper with no brains at all, but I ain't never seen me a one-legged stripper. And I've been to Morocco.

Gun Case

In the police stations armory several shotguns and rifles are seen.

From left the right. A Mossberg 500, Winchester 1894, two Mossberg 500's. The last firearm in the rack is a shotgun and it appears to me to be a Winchester Model 12 from the barrel, magazine tube, and how they are attached to one another. The first to last is a rifle of some sort. It almost appears to be a M1 carbine derivative.
