==SIG-Sauer P226== | |||
The [[SIG-Sauer P226]] pistol is the unofficial star of ''The Negotiator'', and is used heavily by many characters in the movie. When Lieutenant Danny Roman ([[Samuel L. Jackson]]) is accused of murdering his partner as part of a corruption scandal, he takes the accusing Internal Affairs investigators hostage using a P226 that he acquires from one of them during a scuffle. There are several extreme closeups of the P226 where it is easy to see that, as with all prop SIG-Sauer pistols used in Hollywood, the lock-up on the barrel has been filed down in order to make the gun function with blanks. HBT officer Hellman ([[Nestor Serrano]]) also carries a P226 which is also briefly wielded by Inspector Grant Frost ([[Ron Rifkin]]) near the end of the film. HBT Commander Beck ([[David Morse]]) also uses a SIG P226 at the climax of the film. | |||

The SIG-Sauer P226 pistol is the unofficial star of The Negotiator, and is used heavily by many characters in the movie. When Lieutenant Danny Roman (Samuel L.
