The following weapons were used in the film Shutter Island:

Handguns

Smith & Wesson Model 10

Deputy U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver with a 4-inch barrel as his sidearm. In the book and film it has a dent in the barrel where a suspect shot at him. In reality, Teddy's revolver is a toy gun given by the staff of the psychiatric hospital, and breaks easily during the climax of the film.

Colt Detective Special

Deputy U.S. Marshal Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) carries a Colt Detective Special as his sidearm. It can be identified by the grips when he hands the gun to the guards.

Walther PP

The Nazi commandant uses a nickel-plated Walther PP to commit suicide in Dachau concentration camp flashback; Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) moves it away from the commandant to prolong his death. The filmmakers selected the nickel-plated model due to the way it contrasted with the wooden floor of the office despite being historically inaccurate that back during WWII nickel-plated Walthers did not exist yet.
