FBI Special Agent Art Jeffries ([[Bruce Willis]]) carries as his sidearm throughout the film the Subcompact version of the [[Smith & Wesson Sigma#Smith & Wesson Sigma Subcompact 380|Smith & Wesson Sigma]]. At one point in the film, Kudrow ([[Alec Baldwin]]) tells the SWAT team leader ([[James MacDonald]]) ''"I got a 9mm down on the sidewalk"'', referring to Art's Sigma. This weapon is chambered in .380 ACP (AKA 9mm Short), though Kudrow likely meant 9mm as in '9x19mm' or '9mm Parabellum', which would make this line of dialogue a slight goof.

Handguns

Smith & Wesson SW9M

FBI Special Agent Art Jeffries (Bruce Willis) carries the Smith & Wesson SW9M (the 9mm subcompact version of the Smith & Wesson Sigma) as his sidearm throughout the film. Near the end of the film, Art (Bruce Willis) tells the FBI SWAT team leader (James MacDonald) "I got a 9mm down on the sidewalk", referring to his Sigma. This was previously listed as the 380 version of the Sigma Compact (Smith & Wesson SW380), however the rear serrations, silver barrel, and overall size of the firearm seen in the film, shows that Art carries the SW9M. The Heritage Auctions website also shows the screen used SW9M, used in the film.
