Strapped is a 1993 film that went directly to HBO, and was directed by actor Forest Whitaker. The movie is perhaps most notable for being the acting debut of its star, Bokeem Woodbine, who subsequently went on to a lengthy career in TV and cinema. Strapped is also controversial amongst American gun owners due to its depiction of the relationship between Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) and the illegal arms trade.
Please note that IMFDB does not endorse this movie's anti-gun message, which may offend American gun owners in general, and FFLs in particular.
The following weapons can be seen in Strapped:

Ruger Speed Six
At the beginning of the film, Diquan Mitchell (Bokeem Woodbine) stumbles upon two kids arguing in his apartment building, one of whom draws a Ruger Speed Six with a spurred hammer and stainless finish and then kills the other. Diquan takes the Ruger and hides it behind a speaker in his room. He later uses it at the end of the film.
Jennings 32
When Diquan goes into the sandwich store run by the gun dealer Mike (Jaime Tirelli), he is shown a number of inexpensive, compact pocket pistols ("Saturday Night Specials"). One of them is a Jennings pistol; Diquan says it looks like a .25 ACP, but Mike corrects him and says it's actually a .32 ACP. This gun is also visible in the trunk of Ben's (Craig Wasson's) car.
Raven MP25
Mike opens up a styrofoam food container to show Diquan several pistols inside. Two of them are Raven MP25s, one blued, the other nickel. The nickel MP25 is later offered to Bamboo (Fredro Starr) by Ben.
Seecamp LWS-32
A Seecamp LWS-32 is also visible in the food container, next to the Raven MP25s. Later, Bamboo can be seen selling this gun to the female customer, for $350.
Intratec TEC-9
After Diquan asks Mike to show him the "real deal", Mike opens up a storage cabinet filled with various 9mm pistols and several Intratec TEC-9s. Diquan tries out one of the TEC-9s, pretending to be interested in buying it, but Mike says he is selling the weapon for $1,000, out of Diquan's price range.
Smith & Wesson 6906
When Diquan brings in his friend Willie to purchase a "Nine" from Mike, Mike offers Willie an older-model Smith & Wesson 6906 with a squared trigger guard for $900. A newer-model 6906 (recognizable by the rounded trigger guard) is also visible in the Georgia gun shop's display case.
Trivia: Willie is played by a then-unknown Isaiah Washington, later of Grey's Anatomy infamy.
Calico M950A
When Ben wants information about Bamboo, he goes to Busta (Busta Rhymes) and offers him a Calico M950A pistol for only $350 (far less than the weapon's retail or street price) if he can provide information.
