SIG-Sauer P226
Pablo Escobar Gaviria (Carlos Congote) uses a SIG-Sauer P226 as his personal sidearm during "El rey de la cocaine/Matar al rey de la cocaine" (S2E04). The use of a SIG-Sauer P226 is faithful to reality, since the latter was El Patron's preferred pistol. However, the pistol seen in the show is a later-generation (mid-1990s to mid-200s) P226 with a milled slide, whereas in 1993, only the earlier P226s with stamped slides would have been available. The real-life weapon was also blued, based on photographic evidence, while the pistol in the show is a two-tone model.
SIG-Sauer P226 w/ two-tone finish - 9x19mm Parabellum
Actual SIG-Sauer P226 found next to Pablo Escobar's body. Note the blued finish. This gun was stolen by Guillermo Aguillar; who turned in a different pistol as evidence
Two-tone SIG-Sauer P226 that was filed as evidence; this was originally believed to be Escobar's pistol and may have inspired the depiction in the series.
A close-up shot of Pablo Escobar's SIG-Sauer P226. This close-up shows the gun to be a post-1996 P226 (note the external extractor, characteristic of a CNC-milled slide), which would be anachronistic for the early-1990s, when the scene is set.

In another recreation of the events, Guillermo Aguillar is the one who fires the fatal blow to Pablo Escobar. (S2E04)

Larry Phillips Jr. (Zac Hutton) arms himself with a stainless Taurus PT92 AFS (standing in for the Beretta 92FS Inox that Phillips used in the real-life robbery) after his AKS-47 during the failed North Hollywood bank robbery escape in "The North Hollywood Shootout" (S3E05).

Smith & Wesson Model 66
One of the agents of the National Gendarmerie Intervention Group (GIGN) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 66 as a service weapon in "Shoot-Out in Marseilles" (S3E06).
