Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Pistols
Glock 17
Motorcycle officers are seen carrying Glock 17s in their holsters.
SIG-Sauer P226
Secret Service Agents Tim Collin (Dennis Haysbert) and Bill Burton (Scott Glenn) carry SIG-Sauer P226 pistols, even though the SIG-Sauer P228 was standard at the time for the Secret Service.
SIG-Sauer P228
A SIG-Sauer P228, the standard at the time for the Secret Service, is seen on an office table.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Seth Frank (Ed Harris) can be seen with a Smith & Wesson Model 10 with a 4" barrel in his holster.
Rifles
Remington 700 (Custom Black Stock)
Secret Service Agent Tim Collin (Dennis Haysbert) and hit man Michael McCarty (Richard Jenkins), having both been contracted to kill Luther Whitney (Clint Eastwood) (each without the other realizing it) both use take-down Remington 700 rifles with major customizations to improve accuracy. The rifle used by Agent Collins is a similar configuration to the one used by Geena Davis in the film The Long Kiss Goodnight (released a year before).
Remington 700 (Walnut Stock)
Contract hit man Michael McCarty (Richard Jenkins) uses a Remington 700 action fitted with a suppressor and in a walnut target stock similar to one used for the Keppeler 300, a German rifle.
Sako TRG-S
One of the two other agents at the range has some sort of take-down version of a Sako M995 TRG-S. It is probably the same rifle used in the film Most Wanted.
