    Ooops, the gun on the right looks like a Walther PP (or a clone).

    I agree with Neal on the larger one. Need quality close-ups of the smaller. Could be any one of a number, of smaller German or Spanish made 25's?

    Spanish would make sense, as that's where he was captured.
    "Moran, 31, had been on the run since 2009 after he assaulted four security guards, vaulted over the dock and escaped while on trial at Burnley Crown Court." Without in any way condoning his crime, the guy must have some balls!

    The right one is a PP, you can see the Walther Banner on the grip.
    The smaller has the shape of an Astra but with that finger extention I'm not sure. Most likely it's not a weapon importable to the US due to the GCA68 hence hard to ID.

    One on left looks like a Beretta 22s/25 Minx/Jetfire, or clone, and the one on the right has too sharp of a transistion line to be a PP, and leads me to Makarov.
