If I remember right, the gun was actually a 12ga Remington 870. While there is technically a shotgun shell with 9mm diameter, not quite the same thing. The m36 they made for 7 years, and a total of 20k were made. The ammo was not made for years, and only semirecently has Fiocchi started making it as a specialty in small batches for collectors. The guy was some innercity thug type, so I doubt he'd be using 85-90 year old guns with extremely rare ammo.
Another similar example was in another movie, where one character had told another to that their Glock's "safety was still on", and they proceeded to work the slide release.
