Beretta 92SB-C
A henchman posing as a messenger (Archie Hahn) pulls a Beretta 92SB-C with wood grips after gaining entry into Jack Putter's apartment. Later, Scrimshaw's blonde henchman (Jason Laskay) has a Beretta 92SB-C in a shoulder holster. Lydia steals it from him after knocking him out. Apparently, he fired it several times prior as the weapon runs empty after being fired only twice (once in the air to get the villains' attention, and a second time accidentally while gesturing with the weapon).
