__TOC__ 
 
=Pistols=
==Colt MK IV Series 70 Government Model==
Mr. Longbaugh (Benicio del Toro) and Mr. Parker (Ryan Phillippe) use Colt Series 70 Government Model pistols as their main handguns. Used throughout the movie. Unlike most films where handguns are "Mexican carried", they carry theirs in IWB holsters which is a much safer and smarter way to carry. The Colts used in the film are 9mm caliber noted by the tapered barrels and crimp indention in the magazines.
==Heckler & Koch USP ==
Taye Diggs as Jeffers and Nicky Katt as Obecks use the 9mm Heckler & Koch USPs as their main handguns.
