The detectives both reload their snub-nosed revolvers. Both actors use the guns' ejector rods to push out the empty .38 shell, instead of just vigorously shaking the guns. This is quite rare in Hollywood.

Unknown handgun

The Sikh bodyguards employed by Simon Kestral (Sam Elliott) are seen carrying compact semi-auto handguns in holsters. They could be Glock 19s, or propwise plastic or rubber casts of the real things, just that the holsters wouldn't look empty.
