Hap and Leonard - Season 1

The following weapons were used in the film Hap and Leonard:

WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!

Pistols

Walther PPK

Despite being an anti-war peace activist, Howard (Bill Sage) begins using a Walther PPK in "The Dive" (S1E3). He carries it for the rest of the series, but never fires it.

Colt M1991A1

Soldier (Jimmi Simpson) uses a Colt 1991A1 Series 80 with a nickel finish and pearl grips throughout the series, waving it around and firing it often. Hap later gets ahold of this pistol in "War" (S1E5), where some closeups perfectly display the gun's manufacturing proofs. Despite the fact that this appears to be a real firearm, all of the gunshots in the show are CGI. This gun is also an anachronism by three years since the show is set in 1988.

Colt 1991A1 Series 80 Stainless - .45 ACP

Soldier (Jimmi Simpson) draws his nickel/pearl 1991A1 in "Trudy" (S1E4).

Soldier fires his 1991A1 at a Texas State Trooper "Trudy" (S1E4). The muzzle flash is clearly CGI, and the hammer simply falls without the slide cycling when the gun is "fired."

Soldier fires his pistol in "War" (S1E5), which is once again added with CGI.

Soldier dual-wields his 1991A1 and Angel's Model 66 in "War" (S1E5).

Hap (James Purefoy) aim's Soldier's own pistol at him in "War" (S1E5).

Smith & Wesson 5906

The Smith & Wesson 5906 first appears in the hands of a police officer in "Savage Season" (S1E1). Another 5906 (likely the same gun based on the identical features like the blued hammer and Novak sights) is used by Paco (Neil Sandilands) starting in "Trudy" (S1E4), and he's seen using it for the rest of the series. In one notable scene in "War" (S1E5), Trudy (Christina Hendricks) struggles with Paco for this gun and knocks it to the floor, causing it to break apart. This is a rare instance in film and television where dropping a firearm actually causes it significant damage. Like the 1991A1 above, this gun is an anachronism since the 5906 began production in 1989, one year after the film is set. The gun seen in the show is actually a later-model 5906, noted by the round trigger guard, making it more anachronistic.

Smith & Wesson 5906 - 9x19mm. Note the late model 5906 pistols have the rounded trigger guard.

The police officer holds his Smith & Wesson 5906 on Soldier (Jimmi Simpson) in "Savage Season" (S1E1).
