The Sentinel (2006)

The Sentinel is a 2006 thriller starring Michael Douglas as Pete Garrison, a veteran US Secret Service Agent who goes on the run when he's accused of being involved in a plot to assassinate the President. Kiefer Sutherland co-stars as David Breckinridge, the agent who heads up the task force assigned to find him and who has a complicated history with Garrison. The film's cast includes Eva Longoria and Kim Basinger and was directed by Clark Johnson (S.W.A.T.). The movie is based on the 2003 novel of the same name by former U.S. Secret Service agent Gerald Petievich (To Live and Die in L.A., Boiling Point).

The following weapons were used in the film The Sentinel:

Pistols

SIG-Sauer P228

SIG-Sauer P228 9mm pistols are used by US Secret Service agents, including Agents Pete Garrison (Michael Douglas), David Breckinridge (Kiefer Sutherland) and Jill Marin (Eva Longoria). When one of their agents is found dead, Breckinridge notices that the safety on the agent's SIG is still on, meaning that the agent wasn't ready to fire (since Secret Service agents are trained to draw and flick off the safety in one motion). Note: The standard sidearm of the United States Secret Service is the SIG-Sauer P229 chambered for .357 SIG rounds. The Secret Service did use the SIG-Sauer P228 sometime between the late 1980s and early 1990s, after switching from the .357 Smith & Wesson 66-2 revolver. However, since the movie takes place in 2006, the Service had already adopted the .357 SIG P229 by then. As a technical aside, neither the P228 or P229 have an external safety to be disengaged before firing.

-[[Sig Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG P228| Sig Sauer P228]] 9mm pistols are used by all the actors portraying US Secret Service agents, including Agents Pete Garrison ([[Michael Douglas]]), David Breckinridge ([[Kiefer Sutherland]]) and  Jill Marin ([[Eva Longoria]]). Note: The real firearm used by the US Secret Service is the SIG Sauer P229 .357 SIG.   I would suspect Hollywood to use 9mm blanks since .357 SIG blanks seem harder to find. And since the real Secret Service Agents were using 9mm, P228's are more abundant than P229's in 9mm I think.)

-NOTE:  The above note is somewhat correct.  Current agents are using the 229 in .357 sig, but when the secret service transitioned from revolvers they started with the p228.
