'''''Hostage''''' is a 2005 action thriller film starring [[Bruce Willis]] as Jeff Talley, a former Los Angeles SWAT officer and hostage negotiator who moves to a quiet California town after failing in a hostage negotiation. The quiet town's peace is shattered when a criminal's home is taken hostage, which results in Talley's own family being taken hostage. Talley is forced to once again act as a hostage negotiator to save his family. The film, which was directed by [[Florent Siri]] (''[[Intimate Enemies]]''), features remarkably accurate gun choices and handling.

{{Spoiler}}


=Handguns=
==Kimber Custom TLE II==
Chief Jeff Talley ([[Bruce Willis]]) keeps a [[Kimber Custom TLE II]] .45 caliber handgun as his personal sidearm. He is seen with it tucked as a belly gun in the opening standoff and uses it to save his family at the end of the film. Clear shots can be seen showing Kimber's engraving on the gun. On the other side, a clear shot can be seen reading "LAPD SWAT CUSTOM", which makes sense as LAPD SWAT teams use Kimber Custom IIs, and Talley was a veteran of the LAPD SWAT.

Note again, "LAPD SWAT CUSTOM" is visible on the slide. That careful attention to detail is incredible and rarely seen in Hollywood productions!]]


==Glock 26==
A [[Glock 26]] is used by Chief Jeff Talley ([[Bruce Willis]]) as his backup weapon. He keeps a rubber band tightly wrapped around the grip for a better grip on the gun. The gun is classified as a Glock 26 based on its 10+1 capacity accurately depicted. The Glock 26 is also seen in the hands of Walter Smith ([[Kevin Pollak]]).

[[Image:HostageGlock26-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The slide locks empty on Talley's Glock 26 after 11 shots. This is correct for a Glock 26, which has a magazine capacity of 10 rounds. Talley must have had one in the chamber for the correct 11.]]

==[[Glock|Glock 26]]==
Used by Chief Jeff Tally ([[Bruce Willis]]) as his spare rod. He keeps a rubber band tightly wrapped around the grip as the Glocks have been said to jam more due to vibrations in the nylon-based polymer frame if not squeezed tightly. Whether this is true isn't entirely known, but it is still a good idea just in case. The gun is classified as a Glock 26 based on its 10+1 capacity accurately depicted. **ACTUALLY the rubber band is more likely just an improvised way to improve his grip on the pistol. The Glock certainly doesnt need a rubber band to keep it from jamming....***

He is seen with it tucked as a belly gun in the opening standoff and uses it in the end to save his family. Clear shots can be seen showing Kimber's scripture writing on the gun. On the other side, a clear shot can be seen reading "LAPD SWAT CUSTOM", which makes sense as LAPDs use Kimbers.

Hostage is a 2005 action thriller film starring Bruce Willis as Jeff Talley, a former Los Angeles SWAT officer and hostage negotiator who moves to a quiet California town after failing in a hostage negotiation. The quiet town's peace is shattered when a criminal's home is taken hostage, which results in Talley's own family being taken hostage. Talley is forced to once again act as a hostage negotiator to save his family. The film, which was directed by Florent Siri (Intimate Enemies), features remarkably accurate gun choices and handling.

Handguns

Kimber Custom TLE II

Chief Jeff Talley (Bruce Willis) keeps a Kimber Custom TLE II .45 caliber handgun as his personal sidearm. He is seen with it tucked as a belly gun in the opening standoff and uses it to save his family at the end of the film. Clear shots can be seen showing Kimber's engraving on the gun. On the other side, a clear shot can be seen reading "LAPD SWAT CUSTOM", which makes sense as LAPD SWAT teams use Kimber Custom IIs, and Talley was a veteran of the LAPD SWAT.

Glock 26

A Glock 26 is used by Chief Jeff Talley (Bruce Willis) as his backup weapon. He keeps a rubber band tightly wrapped around the grip for a better grip on the gun. The gun is classified as a Glock 26 based on its 10+1 capacity accurately depicted. The Glock 26 is also seen in the hands of Walter Smith (Kevin Pollak).
