The following firearms can be seen in the film The Getaway:
When McCoy (Steve McQueen) fires his 1911, a Star Model B is substituted, as the Colt was not reliable with blanks.
Colt Python
Rudy Butler (Al Lettieri) carries a .357 Magnum Colt Python revolver during the bank robbery, his kidnapping of Harold Clinton (Jack Dodson) and Fran Clinton (Sally Struthers), and the final hotel shootout.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Frank Jackson (Bo Hopkins) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 10 during the bank robbery, which he uses to shoot the bank guard. Some of the Texas policemen also have Model 10s in their holsters. Several of the cowboys at the end that shoot it out with Doc and Carol in the hotel have Model 10s.
Jack Benyon (Ben Johnson) has a Smith & Wesson Model 36 out on his table when Doc brings him the bank robbery money to count. He grabs it just before he is shot by Carol.
When McCoy is in the gun shop, we can see briefly several guns, including a Ruger Mk I Standard, hanging on the wall (I think there is also a Colt Woodsman, but I am not really sure).
High Standard 8111
Doc McCoy (Steve McQueen) goes into a gun shop to buy a 12-gauge pump shotgun and is given this rarely-seen High Standard 8111 by the shopkeeper.
In a continuity mistake of the movie, we see that Rudy's Colt Python is replaced for a Colt Trooper Mk III in a few scenes at Laughlin's (Dub Taylor) hotel. Cully (Roy Jenson) also has a Trooper during these scenes.
