Revolvers

Smith & Wesson Model 36 Snub

At the film's beginning, Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro) is seen using a Smith & Wesson Model 36 to fire into the trunk of a car. Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) later pistol-whips Bruce (Mark Evan Jacobs) with a snub-nosed Smith & Wesson Model 36 with a square butt, which he gives to Karen (Lorraine Bracco) to hide. Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) keeps a Model 36 snub as his personal weapon, notably using it to beat Billy Batts (Frank Vincent) and wounding Spider (Michael Imperioli). During the poker games, both Tommy's Model 36 snub and his M1911A1 can be seen with the Model 36 snub tucked into his left waist band and the M1911A1 hanging from his right side. This is accurate as the real Tommy DeSimmone was known as "Two Gun" Tommy (for obvious reasons).

During a drunken stupor, Tommy whips out his S&W Model 36 snub and pretends to be Humphrey Bogart in The Oklahoma Kid before firing it at Spider (Michael Imperioli). Seven shots are heard (a mistake as the Model 36 can only hold five rounds) as Tommy fires on Spider.

Smith & Wesson Model 66 Snub

Tommy is seen armed with a Smith & Wesson Model 66 revolver hidden in a paper bag during a truck hijacking. He later is seen firing it in the air. This revolver also appears to be the one held by Tommy at the film's end.

Smith & Wesson Model 64 Snub

Karen Hill (Lorraine Bracco) wakes Henry (Ray Liotta) up from a nap with a snub-nosed Smith & Wesson Model 64 in his face after finding out he's been cheating on her. It is clearly marked as .38 Special on the barrel. Its use is an anachronism as the scene is set before its introduction in 1981.

In some shots of Karen Hill (Lorraine Bracco) holding the gun on Henry, it turns into a Smith & Wesson Model 60 as noted by its 5-round cylinder. Henry then takes it from her and threatens her with it.

Colt Commander

Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) uses a suppressed Colt Combat Commander when entering the apartment of Stacks Edwards (Samuel L. Jackson).

Highlight for Spoilers: Tommy puts the suppressed Colt Commander to the head of Stacks Edwards (Samuel L. Jackson). Note the shorter 4.25 inch slide compared to a standard M1911’s 5 inch slide and rounded hammer. When the Commander is fired, the hammer is seen dropping, but the pistol’s slide doesn't cycle, likely because the firearm was most likely unloaded and special effects spray was added offscreen. This was done because firing blanks at any person this range is be extremely dangerous.

Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) is seen in super slo-mo firing the suppressed Commander repeatedly. The Commander’s 4.25 inch slide is better visible here proving it’s not a standard M1911 from earlier. Since the actor being fired at isn't visible in the frame(and thus, out of harm's way), the gun recoils as Tommy fires it.
