Dormer also carries a [[Walther PPK]] as a backup weapon.  He keeps in the three o'clock position in a back holster.  In the film it is referred to as being a 9mm, which it would be if it is chambered in .380ACP. The German caliber of that is 9mm Kurz (short).

Walter Finch ([[Robin Williams]]) keeps a [[Smith & Wesson Model 10]], .38 Special that once belonged to his uncle.  Detective Farrell ([[Larry Holden]]) is shot in the leg with one in the beachfront scene. Dormer finds it and later uses it to try and frame Finch for shooting his partner Hap Eckhart. However, Finch outsmarts Dormer and passes the frame on to Randy Stetz ([[Jonathan Jackson]]).

[[Glock 23]] handguns are carried by several Nightmute police officers including Ellie Burr ([[Hilary Swank]]).  In their discussion of the discoverd 9mm shell casing, Ellie mentions that "None of us carries a 9mm weapon or a backup weapon," which means that they are likely carrying .40 caliber Glocks.  Finch is seen later holding one.

== Walther PPK ==
Will Dormer ([[Al Pacino]]) carries one as a backup weapon, and accidentally shoots his partner with it. In the film it is referred to as being a 9mm, when in reality a PPK in chambered in .32 and .380.
Technically it would be a 9mm if it is chambered in .380ACP. The German caliber of that is 9mm Kurz (short).

Walter Finch ([[Robin Williams]]) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 10, .38 Special that once belonged to his uncle. He used it to shoot Detective Farrell ([[Larry Holden]]) in the leg in the beachfront scene. Dormer finds it after Finch drops it, and later uses it to try and frame Finch for shooting his partner Hap Eckhardt. However, Finch outsmarts Dormer and passes the frame on to Randy Stetz ([[Jonathan Jackson]]).

== Glock 17 ==
Carried by Ellie Burr ([[Hilary Swank]]). Ellie actually carries either a Model 22 or 23. I say this becuase in the bar scene when dicussing finding the 9mm shell casing, she says, "None of us carries a 9mm weapon or a backup weapon." So no 9mms means they are likely carrying .40 caliber Model 22 or 23s.
