A [[Colt Model 1903/1908]] is a personal handgun of young hitman Jo ([[Alain Delon]]). In several scenes the pistol falls in hands of Maine ([[Edwige Feuillère]]) and Félix Seguin ([[Bernard Blier]]). Henri Godot ([[Jean Servais]]) also uses a Colt 1903.

== FN Model 1910 ==
Godot's henchman Fred ([[Jean Lefebvre]]) is armed with an [[FN Model 1910]]. Due to a continuity error, Félix Seguin's ([[Bernard Blier]]) Colt M1903 switches to an FN M1910 that is then used by Maine ([[Edwige Feuillère]]).

== Compact M1911-style pistol ==
Kuntz (Jean-Marie Serreau) shoots himself with a compact [[M1911 pistol series|M1911-style]] pistol. Same looking pistol (probably same gun reused) is confiscated by Fred ([[Jean Lefebvre]]) from Bobby's henchman Le Vilain (Alain Nobis).
