Unidentified Pistols.

In Death Wish 4, much like Death Wish 3, has some scenes where a firearm is only used or seen for a brief moment. The following are such examples that I could not identify. Do you know the name/make of any of these firearms?

Number 1 is a S&W automatic of some sort.

This appears to be a S&W 469 9mm.
