== Auto Ordnance M1911A1 ==

'''''Carlito's Way''''' is a 1993 gangster film that marked the second collaboration between [[Al Pacino]] and director [[Brian De Palma]] following ''[[Scarface (1983)]]''.  Set in the late 1970's, the film stars [[Al Pacino]] as a gangster who is granted an early release from prison and is determined not to go back to his old criminal ways, but is pulled back in by his corrupt lawyer ([[Sean Penn]]) among others.  The film was adapted from a series of novels by Edwin Torres, a New York State superior court judge and author, and a direct-to-video prequel, ''[[Carlito's Way: Rise to Power]]'' was released in 2005.
  
While with his cousin, Carlito Brigante ([[Al Pacino]]) takes a chrome plated [[M1911 pistol series#Auto Ordnance M1911A1|Auto Ordnance M1911A1]] with pearl grips from one of the thug's waistband to shoot his way out of the bad drug deal. If you look closely at Carlito's chrome 1911 in some scenes, you can see that it has a 9mm caliber barrel and magazine, which was likely used because .45 blanks don't cycle well. It also has a beveled magazine well.

Carlito's Way is a 1993 gangster film that marked the second collaboration between Al Pacino and director Brian De Palma following Scarface (1983). Set in the late 1970's, the film stars Al Pacino as a gangster who is granted an early release from prison and is determined not to go back to his old criminal ways, but is pulled back in by his corrupt lawyer (Sean Penn) among others. The film was adapted from a series of novels by Edwin Torres, a New York State superior court judge and author, and a direct-to-video prequel, Carlito's Way: Rise to Power was released in 2005.


The following weapons were used in the film Carlito's Way:


Handguns

Auto-Ordnance M1911A1

While with his cousin, Carlito Brigante (Al Pacino) takes a chrome plated Auto-Ordnance M1911A1 with pearl grips from one of the thug's waistband to shoot his way out of the bad drug deal. If you look closely at Carlito's chrome 1911 in some scenes, you can see that it has a 9mm caliber barrel and magazine, which was likely used because .45 blanks don't cycle well. It also has a beveled magazine well.

The Auto-Ordnance M1911A1 from this movie was eventually sold in a 2018 auction by Heritage Auctions.

.

A thug reaches for a lighter revealing his Auto-Ordnance M1911A1.
Carlito takes the Auto-Ordnance M1911A1 from the thug after knocking him out.
Carlito fires the Auto-Ordnance M1911A1. You can get a good view of it in the mirror's reflection.
Carlito runs out of ammo in his Auto-Ordnance M1911A1.
Carlito checks the Auto-Ordnance M1911A1 only to find it empty. If you look closely, you can see the stamp down the magazine, making it a 9mm.
Carlito pretends to reload the Auto-Ordnance M1911A1. You can see the magazine stamp more clearly here.
"Here come the pain!" Carlito gets ready to try and escape with no bullets.
Carlito wipes his fingerprints off of the Auto-Ordnance M1911A1 before he throws it away, although you can see above that he also put his fingerprints on the magazine.

Beretta 92F

Carlito Brigante (Al Pacino) uses a Beretta 92F with the finish worn off the end of the barrel as his personal weapon for the rest of the film.

The use of this particular Beretta model is anachronistic as the film takes place in 1975 and the 92F wasn't produced until 1983.

Browning BDA 380

During the bar shootout, Quisqueya (Rick Aviles) tries to shoot Carlito (Al Pacino) with a Browning BDA 380, but in vain as he gets killed by Carlito.

Note: its use in the film is anachronistic, because Carlito's Way takes place in 1975, and the BDA 380 was not introduced until two years later in 1977.

Colt MK IV Series 80

Pachanga (Luis Guzmán) uses a blued Series 80 as his sidearm, as do the other bouncers in Carlito's Club. He most notably uses it to threaten Lalin (Viggo Mortensen), an old acquaintance of Carlito's, and Benny Blanco from the Bronx (John Leguizamo).

Note: The appearance of this gun is an anachronism as these models weren't available until 1983, while the movie takes place in 1975.

Ruger Security Six

The officers on the subway carry Ruger Security Six revolvers as their sidearms. The grips are missing the Ruger emblem and look like plastic and not wood. The finish is also not glossy which leads one to believe that the gun is a painted rubber stunt prop.

Smith & Wesson Model 10 Snub Nose

One of the thugs that Carlito shoots at the bad drug deal manages to fire his nickel Smith & Wesson Model 10 snub. One of the Italians uses one in the final shootout as well.

Smith & Wesson Model 36

David Kleinfeld (Sean Penn) uses a nickel-plated Smith & Wesson Model 36 with pearl grips as his personal weapon. Vincent Taglialucci (Joseph Siravo) also uses a suppressed version and Pete Amadesso (Richard Foronjy), one of Vincent's friends, also uses one in the final shootout.
