Smith & Wesson Model 10 Snub Nose

Detective Buddy 'Cloudy' Russo (Roy Scheider) uses a 2"-barrel S&W revolver as his service gun. It seems to be a "Military & Police" (later known as the Model 10) (it looks too large to be one of the early versions of the Chief's Special, with square butt).

The hitman Pierre Nicoli (Marcel Bozzuffi) uses an adjustable-sights 1911-type pistol to hijack the subway train, that looks like a Colt Gold Cup.

During the final shootout several of the other NYPD officers appear to be using the Ithaca 37 shotgun. The Ithaca 37 was used by the NYPD for several decades to include the 1970's.
