7For questions about guns in movies, I'd recommend checking out the Internet Movie Firearms Database.– HypnosiflDec 1, 2015 at 21:23

AMT Hardballer .45 Longslide with Primitive Laser Sight - The Terminator (1984)
The most visually striking firearm from the dark-toned The Terminator (1984) was the AMT Hardballer .45 Longslide featured at the beginning of the film and shown on the movie poster. The popular-at-the-time 1911-based pistol was fitted with a primitive laser sight made by a designer from the company that would become SureFire. It's the T-800's primary weapon until he loses it in the club Tech Noir after being shot by Kyle Reese's Ithaca 37 shotgun.
As a bonus we also know what's The Terminator's first weapon other than his bare hands of course.

2Given its superior hand-eye coordination and everything, what could the T-800 possibly need laser sight for? I think that premise is almost as flawed as the humans-as-batteries thing in The Matrix ;) Oh wait, that's a question in its own right.– GhanimaDec 1, 2015 at 22:42
