A silenced M1911 is also used in Resurrection of the Daleks by a fake policeman to murder an innocent bystander. In Battlefield, Brigadier Winifred Bambera (Angela Bruce) carries an M1911 as does helicopter pilot Lt. Lavel (Dorota Rae). Lavel attempts to use hers to kill Morgaine (Jean Marsh) but fails.

In The Seeds of Doom, Scorby (John Challis) carries what a SIG P210 as his primary sidearm. He uses it throughout the serial and it even briefly winds up in the hands of the Doctor (Tom Baker) before being reclaimed by Scorby, although the Doctor never uses it.

It is also picked up and used by Director Stahlman (Olaf Pooley). In The Dæmons, Sergeant Benton (John Levene) carries a P38, sometimes equipped with a silencer. In the Tom Baker serial City of Death the P38 is the primary firearm used by almost every single gun-wielding character. Duggan (Tom Chadbon) holds one on the Doctor, thugs in the employ of Count Scarlioni (Julian Glover) including Scarlioni butler Hermann (Kevin Flood) and ultimately Scarlioni himself, all use P38's. Silver-colored P38's equipped with large silencers are used by the Cybermen's human minions in Silver Nemesis.

Benton (John Levene) briefly has one in The Time Monster. In The Seeds of Doom, Scorby (John Challis) keeps a Walther PPK as his backup pistol in the antarctic base.
