Beretta Model 70

Beretta Model 70 - .32 ACP.

There are two pistols seen in the movie, both of them Beretta Model 70 and they're probably the same prop for budget restrictions and also, possibly, identifying people who has problems with AIDS. It's first seen in the scene of a suicide of a young couple (who think that they're HIV-positive, while they're not) and later in the hands of John Knot (Rutger Hauer) in the scene where he threatens Zaccarias with it.

Slightly another angle. A nice look on the trigger guard.

Knot aims his pistol at Zaccarias. The pistol is in the shadows but it's definently Beretta Model 70 - look at the trigger guard and the hammer.

Knot aims his pistol at his wife Joelle, because he want her not to be infected with his blood after struggle with Zaccarias. It's hard to recognise Rutger Hauer on this screen. But it's him.
