The following firearms can be seen in Brannigan (1975):

Brannigan (1975)

Colt Diamondback

Carried and used by Brannigan (John Wayne) throughout the movie. It is a source of tension between Brannigan and Commander Sawnn (Richard Attenborough)since it is against Scotland Yard procedure and English law for Brannigan to carry the Diamondback. Naturally Brannigan continues to carry it and uses it as well.

A screencap from the opening credits.

Brannigan (John Wayne)opens fire on the contract killer (Daniel Pilon) sent after him.

Later in the movie Brannigan (John Wayne) is again engaged in a firefight with the contract killer Gorman (Daniel Pilon).

Brannigan takes careful aim as Gorman is bearing down on him in his Jaguer.

The "Money Shot".

Colt Detective Special

Carried by Commander Swann (Richard Attenborough) of Scotland Yard. There is only a brief glimpse of the revolver, but it appears to have the lines of a second generation Colt Detective Special.

M1911

Carried and used by Mr. Fields (Mel Ferrer). Lawyer to the gangster Larkin (John Vernon) who is the criminal that Brannigan (John Wayne) is in London for. It is clearly a Model 1911. In the screencap there is no arched mainspring housing. In 1974 (the year of the movie's production) Colt was still manufacturing the 1911A1 with the arched mainspring housing. Also considering that the movie was filmed in England there is a strong possibility that the 1911 is one of the models chambered for .455 auto.

Original Colt M1911 (dated 1913) - .45 ACP

A tense moment for Larkin (John Vernon) as he wonders if Fields (Mel Ferrer) is actually going to betray him.Note the flat backstrap on the grip indicating that its a 1911 model.
