Carlito's Way

Carlito's Way (1993)

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.

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. This is an anachronism as the film 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 fake.
