Pistols

When Frank Riva (Alain Delon) comes back in Paris, his old friend Xavier Unger (Jacques Perrin), now the director-general of the General Directorate of the National Police, hands back Riva's Colt M1911 that was kept by Unger for a quarter century. Riva uses this pistol throughout the season.

Smith & Wesson 6906
Drug boss Maxime Loggia (Luis Marquès) uses a Smith & Wesson 6906 when he takes as hostage pregnant Nina Rizzi (Mélanie Maudran), Frank Riva's daughter. A female enforcer of Colombian drug mafia Minda Fierro (Carmela Ramos) uses same looking pistol, most likely same prop.

M1911-style pistol
A stainless steel (or possibly but less credible nickel plated) M911-style pistol is used by Marie Forlo (Alice Taglioni) during her revenge on aged and retired criminals who killed Marie's father many years ago. The pistol has uncommon combination of classic 1911-style slide with vertical serration and angular trigger guard.
Marie Forlo fires at ex-gangsters.
Another M1911-style pistol is seen in hands of Loggia's bodyguard (this character, armed with a Taurus PT908 (see below) was gunned by Commissioner Herzog but then he appears again, this time holding the M1911-style pistol). This pistol also has vertical slide serration and angular trigger guard, but differs in finish (blued) and has adjustable rear sight.
Another view of the pistol.
One more M1911-style pistol is used by the enforcer of Colombian drug mafia Jimmy Esperanza aka Jefferson Villa (Eric Defosse).

Mireille Darc).

Beretta 92 style
A pistol, used for assassination of Commissioner Tony Rezzoni, is hidden by Jean-Luc Roth and later found by Frank Riva. Riva threatens Roth with this pistol. This is Beretta 92 style pistol but as the back of the slide together with the grip and trigger guard is wrapped in some soft cloth, it's impossible to identify the gun as Beretta, a Taurus PT92 or some other Beretta clone.
For comparison: Beretta 92FS - 9x19mm
Riva holds the pistol at Roth's head.
A closeup of the pistol. The lack of slide-mounted safety allows to differ this pistol from Beretta 92FS.
Another close view of the pistol.

Beretta 92FS

SIG-Sauer P220 style
A SIG-Sauer P220 style pistol, fitted with weaponlight, is used by an officer of special police unit during the attack on drug dealer Eric Chaelle's hideout. Some holstered pistols, seen in this scene, may be of same model.
For comparison: SIG-Sauer P226R fitted with a weaponlight - 9x19mm

A drug dealer at the right holds a pistol with long barrel. The general shape resembles small caliber target pistols.
The commander of special police unit holds a pistol with Beretta-style open-top slide but a different muzzle part. He also carries a Manurhin revolver in holster.
Non-Gun Beretta 92F

Roth aims at Rezzoni who is engaged in shootout with criminals.
Mockup pistols
In several scenes real guns are substituted with mockups.
When Frank Riva holds his M1911 at Jean-Luc Roth's head, the pistol switches to a mockup.

What appears to be replica of Beretta 92FS (possibly airsoft, judging by the hole in the grip ) is a weapon of female driver (Candice Hugo) of van, loaded with drugs.
