1930's Gangster, police and their guns.

Hello everyone,

I'm in the process of bulding a nice wood gun display with a glass cover to put on my wall. The idea is to have 3 guns on this display all of which would be examples of the guns used by the gangsters and the police during Al Capone's days. A Thompson Sub-Machine gun with the drum magazine would definately be there and my question is what was the handgun carried by the Chicago police back than, and was it the same gun Eliot Ness carried? What was the most common handgun used by the bad guys?

In my idea of the final project all the 3 guns would be in the display and each would be associated with a picture of either a gangster (I haven't decided which) holding the Tommy Gun gun or a picture of a police officer or Eliot ness holding the police handgun. The 3rd gun which would be the most commonly used handgun by the Gangsters would also be beside a picture of a gangster holding one.

So, what 2 handguns am I looking for?

Thanks in advance,

André
