The Python is displayed prominently throughout the film. We can see it from the main titles:

Note that, in this pic, the cylinder holes are not completely round. Maybe a blank gun was used in this scene.

MAB 1935

Mathieu Carrière, as inspector Ménard uses a MAB 1935 pistol, although it is never seen well, and it is difficult to obtain a good vidcap.

MAB model D

It is hard to be sure, but I think that the police officer standing behind the car carries a MAB model D pistol.

Miscellaneous

M1911 pistol

At the beginning of the movie, we can see several long guns and handguns in a gun rack, in Ferrot’s house. The handgun at the left looks like a M1911. Note that the gun has a lanyard loop.

Unidentified Firearms

Ferrot keeps a rifle, a shotgun and several handguns in a gun rack. The long guns are never seen well, and I cannot identify the handgun in the middle (it is probably a French handgun).

Interesting Details

At the beginning of the movie, we see that Ferrots handloads his own ammo at his reloading bench.

He even casts his bullets.
