The following weapons were used in the film Grosse Pointe Blank:



Pistols

Glock 17

The pistol of choice for hitman Martin Blank (John Cusack) is a Glock 17. Martin also dual-wields his Glock 17s, most notably during the convenience store shootout and final gunfight. One of Martin's old high school classmates, security guard Terry Rostand (Steve Pink) shows his Glock off to Martin briefly to impress him. NSA agents Steven Lardner (Hank Azaria) and Kenneth McCullers (K. Todd Freeman) also use Glock 17s. (Actually they are Glock 19s with Glock 17 magazines in them. The space between the end of the grip and beginning of the 17 round Glock 17 magazine base plate is visible.)

In the cover art above, Martin appears to be holding some variant of a Beretta 92 (or possibly a Taurus PT92) behind his back.

Colt Mustang

Blank's rival hitman Grocer (Dan Aykroyd) fires two Colt Mustangs akimbo during the final shootout. The advantage of using such small pistols is that it allows him to carry eight to ten at once, since he prefers to toss away his empties and draw fresh ones instead of reloading.

Ruger KP94

Martin Blank (John Cusack) gives Debi Newberry (Minnie Driver) a customized .40 S&W Ruger KP94 to defend herself and her father Bart (Mitchell Ryan) during the final shootout after she asks him how to make it work.

Smith & Wesson Model 629 Performance Center

Blank's rival hitman Grocer (Dan Aykroyd) fires two customized Smith & Wesson Model 629 Performance Center revolvers during the opening hit, while dressed as a doorman. Interestingly, Grocer fires approximately 27 rounds without reloading, obviously far more shots than both pistols can hold together.
