It looks like a stainless 1911 , but it could be a stainless BHP and he calls it a 9mm.

IIRC theres never been any official recognition of the "soul theory", in fact I believe it was intentionally left vauge to enspire conversations such as this one.
I have a huge poster of John and Sam standing next to one another guns aimed, and in this shot it is definatly a .45 caliber hole at the end of a very shiny 1911, but that dosn't really mean much, they may have just used those for close ups??
Jules and Vincent had a Star and an AO. They were on display a while back as part of a movie guns display at the National Firearms Museum at NRA HQ.
Oh, and from imdb trivia...
The gun Vincent uses is a 1911A1 Auto Ordnance .45 ACP pistol that has been chromed and given pearl grips. Jules' gun is a Star Model B 9mm pistol that has been chromed and given pearl grips, too.

It's been so many years since I've seen Repoman.That looks like the same glowing briefcase!

Actually in Repoman it was trunk that glowed.
If it was the same thing as what was in the trunk from Repoman why wasn't Travolta turned to dust
After at least 15 minutes of exhaustive research I have uncovered the truth of what was hidden in the briefcase
It's an apparatus for trapping lions in the Scottish Highlands.
In the briefcase...
Guess it wasn't the Ark of the Covenant, since we know from another movie that those spirt-thingies would have flown out and smited the robbers in the restaurant.

As fun as it is to think up what's in the briefcase, the answer is: No one knows, even Tarantino. It's a MacGuffin.

From all American Girl, Tarantino made a guest appearance and brought a briefcase with him, when he opened it he took out one of those portable book lights. So that's what I think is it. A portable book light.
I dont really think that the coffee shop hoodlum would have been likely to recognize the physical embodyment of a man's soul immediatly upon opening the briefcase.

I surely thought it was a Nickle-plated 9mm Springer. I thought I recognized the markings on the slide. You get a pretty good look at it, near the end, when Sam Jackson has 'Ringo' sit down at his table. (That's a great scene...)
I did notice that he 'decocks' his 1911 though! Blasphemy! That would make no sense with a Springer 9mm 1911....
