The following weapons were used in the film Shutter Island:

Handguns

Smith & Wesson Model 10

Deputy U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver with a 4 inch barrel as his sidearm. In the book and movie it has a dent in the barrel where a suspect shot at him. In reality, Teddy's revolver is a toy gun given by the staff of the psychiatric hospital, and breaks easily during the climax of the movie.

Walther PP

The Nazi commandant uses a nickel plated Walther PP to commit suicide in the concentration camp flashback; Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) moves it away from the commandant to prolong his death. The filmmakers selected the nickel plated model due to the way it contrasted with the wood floor of the office despite being historically inaccurate that back during WWII nickel plated Walthers did not exist yet.
