A bar owner Robert Dassa is killed by the henchmen of crime boss Tavernier. Dassa's old friends, criminals Dan Rover and Viletti avenge him, but when they in turn kill Tavernier, police inspector Barnero is also slain. Barnero's friend inspector Favenin is glad that Tavernier is dead but the death of Barnero makes Favenin mad, and now he takes the justice in his hands.

The following weapons were used in the film The Cop (Un condé):

Revolvers

Astra Cadix

An Astra Cadix is one of two revolvers used by Dan Rover (Gianni Garko) during the assassination of Tavernier. The revolver has a six round cylinder indicating that it is chambered in .32 S&W.

Dan Rover cocks his Astra Cadix. Note the inscription on the frame.

Rover and Viletti fire their revolvers.

Astra Cadix is seen from below.

A close view of both Rover's revolvers. An interesting remark: in previous moment Dan holds Astra in the right hand and Smith & Wesson in the left while here the revolvers are hold vice versa.

Smith & Wesson Model 36

Another Rover's revolver is a Smith & Wesson Model 36. Viletti (Michel Constantin) also carries Model 36. In the scene when Inspector Favenin (Michel Bouquet) appears in Viletti's apartments, he finds and uses Viletti's revolver.

Smith & Wesson Model 36 - .38 Special - 5 shot. First pattern with flat latch cylinder release.

Viletti cocks his revolver.

A close view of Rover's revolver. The size and position of the inscription on the frame matches S&W revolver but the number and position of screws differs, so this revolver is supposed to be some clone of Model 36.

Favenin holds Viletti at gunpoint with his own revolver.

Favenin fires Viletti's revolver. He fires a five-shot revolver six times in a row but the revolver is seen only during first four shots so an extra shot can be a mere sound effect.

Unidentified Colt revolver

In one scene the chief of local police (Adolfo Celi) is seen in the shooting range with a revolver that appears to be some Colt model, most likely a Colt Official Police or a Colt Police Positive.

Pistols

Walther PP

A Walther PP (most likely a Manurhin-manufactured pistol) is Inspector Favenin's (Michel Bouquet) personal firearm.

Post war Walther PP Pistol - .32 ACP. Though most of the pistols built immediately after the war were made by Manurhin of France (under license), the guns are marked "Made in West Germany".

Favenin aims his pistol at Lupo.

The grip of the pistol is seen when Favenin carries it in shoulder holster.

Luger P08

A Luger P08 is a personal firearm of Georges "Nice Smile" Duval (Henri Garcin), Tavernier's henchman. Later Duval's pistol is seen in hands of Inspector Favenin (Michel Bouquet) and Lupo (Théo Sarapo).

Luger P08 - 9x19mm

"Nice Smile" Duval draws his Luger.

Inspector Barnero (Bernard Fresson) holds confiscated Duval's Luger.

Inspector Favenin enters the room with Duval's pistol in hand.
