The following firearms can be seen in the film The Getaway:
Winchester Model 1892
The Texas prison guards during the opening sequences carry Winchester Model 1892 rifles when on horseback.
Colt Government
The main sidearm of bank robber Carter 'Doc' McCoy (Steve McQueen) is a Colt Government.
Star Model B
When McCoy (Steve McQueen) fires his 1911, a Star Model B is substituted, as the Colt was not reliable with blanks.
Colt Python
Rudy Butler (Al Lettieri) carries a .357 Magnum Colt Python revolver during the bank robbery, his kidnapping of Harold (Jack Dodson) and Fran (Sally Struthers), and the final hotel shootout.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Frank Jackson (Bo Hopkins) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 10 during the bank robbery, which he uses to shoot the bank guard.
Smith & Wesson Model 10 Heavy Barrel
The bank guard carries a Smith & Wesson Model 10 Heavy Barrel revolver, as McCoy tells his bank robbery team.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Jack Benyon (Ben Johnson) has a Smith & Wesson Model 36 out on his table when Doc brings him the bank robbery money to count. He grabs it just before he is shot by Carol.
Colt Model 1903 Hammerless
Carol McCoy (Ali MacGraw) uses a Colt Model 1903 Hammerless to shoot Benyon and during the hotel shootout.
Ruger Mark I Standard
When McCoy is in the gun shop, we can see briefly several guns, including a Ruger Mk I Standard, hanging on the wall (I think there is also a Colt Woodsman, but I am not really sure).
High Standard 8111
McCoy goes into a gun shop to buy a 12-gauge pump shotgun and is given this rarely-seen High Standard 8111 by the shopkeeper.
Colt Trooper Mk III
In a continuity mistake of the movie, we see that Rudy's Colt Python is replaced for a Colt Trooper Mk III in a few scenes at Laughlin's (Dub Taylor) hotel. Cully (Roy Jenson) also has a Trooper during these scenes.
Browning Hi-Power
Max (Doug Dudley), one of the cowboys during the final shootout, carries a Browning Hi-Power.
Smith & Wesson M76
One of the cowboys during the hotel shootout uses a 9 mm Smith & Wesson M76 submachine gun.
