Revolvers
Nagant M1895
Communications officer Lt. Irina Rotan (Anna Kotova-Deryabina) uses a Nagant M1895 revolver when she is revealed as an Abwehr agent. Nagants are also used by several Soviet counterintellegence service and Navy officers.

Pistols
TT-33
TT-33 pistols are widely used by Soviet officers, notably Capt. 2nd rank Sergey Aleksandrovich Saburov (Pavel Trubiner), Capt. 3rd rank Elena Soley (Ekaterina Vilkova), Capt. Lt. Pavel Vazhin (Konstantin Adaev), Capt. Lt. Andrey Budnichniy (Denis Konstantinov), Capt. Lt. Boris Lesberg (Soslan Fidarov), and also by Abwehr agent Nikolay Borisovich Panin (Evgeniy Miller) and German saboteur Schulz (Mikhail Buber). Nearly all TTs are of post-1947 version; a sinlgle pre-1947 TT is seen in hands of Saburov in one scene.

TT-33 (VPO-501 "Lider")
In one scene Capt. Lt. Andrey Budnichniy (Denis Konstantinov) holds a TT with unnaturally large bore. This feature allows to identify the gun as a rubber-firing VPO-501 "Lider" ("Leader"). These guns, chambered in 10x32 mm, were converted from real TTs by replacing of the rifled barrels with smooth tubes.
