The Untouchables (1987)
The following firearms can be seen in the film The Untouchables:
Colt Detective Special
A nickel plated Colt Detective Special is carried by Chicago patrolman George Stone (Andy Garcia) as his backup gun, which he tosses to Ness during the train station shootout.
Colt Official Police
Officer Stone (Andy Garcia) uses a Colt Official Police while on the police academy firing range. The court officer is later seen with one that he lends to Ness for him to chase Nitti down. What is interesting about Ness's gun is that this particular version of the Official Police is actually a Post-War gun (meaning it wasn't made until after 1950) whereas this movie takes place in the 1930s. The ramped front sight, flat hammer and longer ejection rod cap are changes that were made after 1950. Pre-War guns would have a halfmoon front sight and shorter ejector rod cap.
M1911A1
Treasury agent Elliot Ness (Kevin Costner) uses an M1911A1 throughout the film in scenes in which he is not firing his weapon. Treasury accountant Oscar Wallace (Charles Martin Smith) keeps one in a shoulder holster. Several of Capone's (Robert De Niro) mobsters carry them.
Star Model B
Treasury Agent Elliot Ness (Kevin Costner) carries a Star Model B as his sidearm in the film, standing in for the M1911A1 in scenes in which he fires it. A gangster who holds the bookkeeper (Jack Kehoe) from Ness and Stone in the train station holds a Star Model B to the bookkeeper's head. Frank Nitti (Billy Drago) carries a nickel-plated Star Model B in court, which Ness uses as an excuse to kick him out.

Smith & Wesson Model 10
A Smith & Wesson Model 10 is carried by Stone (Andy Garcia). He uses it to kill the gangster who is holding the bookeeper hostage at the end of the shootout in the train depot. Malone (Sean Connery) also carries one, which he infamously uses to shoot an already dead gangster. Many other Chicago policemen carry Model 10s.
Thompson M1928
Many gangsters and policemen use the Thompson M1928 during the film. Stone and Malone use them to great effect during the Canadian shootout. Frank Nitti notably uses one to fatally wound Malone outside his apartment.
- According to the Ellis Props & Graphics NFA weapons list available on Long Mountain Outfitters' web site, there was a mix of M1921s and M1928 Thompsons used in the film. -MT2008
