WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!

Revolvers

Bruni Magnum

In the opening scene in "Un croque-mort nommé Nestor" (S2E5) Nestor Burma (Guy Marchand) uses a Bruni Magnum instead of his signature Smith & Wesson 459. This episode takes place in Brussels and filmed in Belgium; maybe this fact somehow affected the change of Burma's handgun. In the following scenes Bruni Magnum switches to a snub nose Colt-style revolver (see below).

Colt Detective Special (3rd Gen.)

In most scenes in "Un croque-mort nommé Nestor" (S2E5) Burma uses a snub nose revolver that appears to be 3rd Gen. Colt Detective Special. In several scenes Janine Deregier (Cécile Pallas) uses Burma's revolver.

Smith & Wesson Model 586

Zavatter (Michel Fortin) is briefly seen with a revolver in "Le soleil naît derrière le Louvre" (S2E1). Due to full barrel underlug this revolver appears to be the same Smith & Wesson Model 586 that Zavatter uses in Season 1.
