John Wick is a 2014 action thriller starring Keanu Reeves as the title character, a retired hitman who seeks vengeance against a mobster's son and his cronies for stealing his car and killing his puppy, a final gift from his recently deceased wife. The film was directed by Chad Stahelski and David Leitch (both were veteran stunt and action coordinators in the film business prior to their feature film directing debut here, although Leitch is uncredited). Reeves would return for several sequels: 2017's John Wick: Chapter 2, 2019's John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum in addition to 2023's John Wick: Chapter 4.

The following weapons were used in the film John Wick:

WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!

Handguns

Heckler & Koch P30L

John Wick (Keanu Reeves) uses a Heckler & Koch P30L fitted with a custom compensator as his primary firearm through the film. He swaps it for a Glock 26 during the Red Circle Club shootout when the P30L runs out of ammunition. After escaping captivity, he most likely uses a second pistol or returns the first one, but later drops it anyway at the port before a hand-to-hand fight with Viggo in the film's climax. As it turns out in John Wick: Chapter 2, Wick returns both guns at the end of the movie.
