Revolvers

Smith & Wesson Model 36 Snub

Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro) is first seen using a Smith & Wesson Model 36 to fire into the trunk of a car. Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) later pistol-whips Bruce (Mark Evan Jacobs) with a snub nosed Smith & Wesson Model 36 with a square butt, which he gives to Karen (Lorraine Bracco) to hide. Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) keeps a Model 36 snub as his personal weapon, notably using it to beat Billy Batts (Frank Vincent) and wounding Spider (Michael Imperioli). During the poker games, both Tommy's Model 36 snub and his M1911A1 can be seen with the Model 36 snub tucked into his left waist band and the M1911A1 hanging from his right side. This is accurate as the real Tommy DeSimmone was known as "Two Gun" Tommy (for obvious reasons).

During a drunken stupor, Tommy whips out his S&W Model 36 snub and pretends to be Humphrey Bogart in The Oklahoma Kid before firing it at Spider (Michael Imperioli). Seven shots are heard (a mistake as the Model 36 can only hold five rounds) as Tommy fires on Spider.

Smith & Wesson Model 66 Snub

Tommy is seen armed with a Smith & Wesson Model 66 revolver hidden in a paper bag during a truck hijacking. He later is seen firing it in the air. This revolver also appears to be the one held by Tommy at the film's end.

Tommy fires off the Smith & Wesson Model 66 revolver hidden in a paper bag during a truck hijacking.

This revolver also appears to be the one held by Tommy at the film's end. Director Martin Scorsese said in an interview that this was a reference to the film The Great Train Robbery.

Smith & Wesson Model 64 Snub

Karen Hill (Lorraine Bracco) wakes Henry (Ray Liotta) up from a nap with a snub-nosed Smith & Wesson Model 64 in his face after finding out he's been cheating on her. It is clearly marked as .38 Special on the barrel. Its use is an anachronism as the scene is set before its introduction in 1981.

Smith & Wesson Model 60

In some shots of Karen Hill (Lorraine Bracco) holding the gun on Henry, it turns into a Smith & Wesson Model 60 as noted by its 5-round cylinder. Henry then takes it from her and threatens her with it.

Pistols

M1911A1

Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) uses this M1911A1 style pistol to kill Spider (Michael Imperioli) in the bar card game scene. He later seen carrying a suppressed M1911A1 with a Commander-style ring hammer when entering the apartment of Stacks Edwards (Samuel L. Jackson). An M1911A1 is also used in a hit.

M1911A1 .45 ACP

"Two Gun" Tommy's 1911 grip is seen in his waistband after he shoots Spider in the foot.

"What's the world comin' to?" During the next poker game, Tommy draws his 1911 and fires six shots at Spider. When Tommy says he's a good shot, Anthony asks how one can miss at this distance.

Highlight for Spoilers: Tommy puts the suppressed M1911A1 to the head of Stacks Edwards (Samuel L. Jackson). Note that when the weapon is fired, the hammer is seen dropping, but the M1911A1's slide doesn't cycle. Because firing blanks at this range would be extremely dangerous, the firearm most likely was unloaded and special effects spray was added offscreen.

Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) is seen in super slo-mo firing the suppressed M1911A1 repeatedly. Since the actor being fired at isn't visible in the frame(and thus, out of harm's way), the gun recoils as Tommy fires it.
