What type of gun is used for most hits? Is there a special gun/caliber? Or is it all over the board?
Should probably ask Mr. Kierney. I guess if you're Italian, you should be in prison. I've read the RICO Act, and I can tell you it's more appropriate... for some of those guys over in Washington than it is for me or any of my fellas here

If you've ever heard a silenced .22 go off, rain makes more sound... Great line!... I'll always remember where I was when I first heard it... 
N..... or no, bastard had balls, shame to kill him... I got nuthin', I got nuthin...

.22 silenced. The bullet will ricochet inside the brain causing more damage. If you've ever heard a silenced .22 go off, rain makes more sound, lol. I think a lot of Philly guys preferred the .22. no doubt it has been used a fair # of times, but its a very poor choice imo for a bunch of different reasons. #1 its a very underpowered round, and it may not even penetrate the skull, just ask john veasy. the problem is only amplified when the even weaker subsonic .22lr ammo is used with a suppressor. #2 rimfire ammo can be very unreliable, especially in semi-auto pistols, and having a gun jam during a hit is never a good thing.

its hard to pin down one specific make/model, and i'm sure it has changed over the years. with that said, i think its fair to say that the .38 special revolver has probably been used in more hits/murders than most other weapons. its reliable, and doesn't expel any casings which could be used to gather forensic evidence. I think this would be a good choice. A good bit more stopping power than a .22 and the revolver won't jam like a semi-auto.

Yeah, I see your points. 38 would be the most reliable. I think there's .22 ammo though with higher FPS. Think I saw something like that on Youtube.

As far as the jamming issue goes,if your weapons are properly cleaned and maintained the odds that they will jam are extremely low. the reliability factor has more to do with the rimfire ammo, as opposed to the firearm. .22lr ammo, even the more "premium" stuff, is notorious for being unreliable, especially is semi-automatic pistols. there are a number of reasons for this, i will try to explain. the primers are much less reliable than any centerfire rounds, and any rimmed ammo has a much greater chance to produce a FTF(failure to feed) or an FTE(failure to eject) simply because the rim is more likely to catch or get hung up, as opposed to the bottlenecked design much more common to other semi-auto loads. these problems are amplified when low powered rounds are added to the equation. you don't run into those same problems with a bolt or lever action rifle in .22lr, as the rounds are chambered manually. revolvers are a different ballgame because of the revolving cylinder, thus no feed issues which is one of the many reasons they are renowned for their reliabilty. there are a number of revolvers chambered for .22lr, but a suppressed revolver is extremely uncommon and expensive due to the fact that you would need a custom made threaded barrel, as well as something to muffle the sound caused by the gas escaping from the cylinder gap, and its highly unlikely that a hitman will go to all that trouble for a throwaway gun. .22lr ammo also has the problem of often being mass produced so cheaply, and on such a huge scale, that weak rounds are common, which again will fail to cycle the action properly. the same problems exist for the subsonic loads used in suppressed weapons, as the are naturally less powerful to achieve the sub-sonic velocity needed to lesson the sound.

Great thread! most prefer the 22 calibre because there are gunshot radar detectors in nyc that can detect time and location, this doesn't apply to the 22.

The link below shows the .22 used to kill Sam Giancana. Copy the link and paste in your url. Please let me know if it works.

How does a gunshot detector work? Nyc has sound detectors which are set in areas where there is higher incidence of shootings.

Nicodemo used a .357 in the murder right ? Yes he (or whoever) did use a 357 according to reports. Gravano said to use a revolver on a hit so you won't have to risk the gun jamming. I think he said he liked 38 specials but i'd go with Nicodemo on this one. If your going to use a 38 special you might as well use a 357 for the extra pop. You can shoot 38 specials out of most 357 revolvers but you can't shoot 357's out of a revolver that was made to fire 38 specials. So you might as well just go with the 357.
