Pistols

SIG-Sauer P226/P228

SIG-Sauer pistols (The SIG-Sauer P226 and/or SIG-Sauer P228) are used by all of the Massachusetts State Police officers in the movie, including Sergeant Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon), Detective Brown (Anthony Anderson), and numerous other characters.

A stated-as-verified screen-used gun used by Matt Damon is currently on display at the National Firearms Museum located at the NRA Headquarters in Fairfax, VA, and it is in fact a SIG-Sauer P228. However, the screencaps show what appear to be P226 pistols rather than P228's, though it is possible P228s were also used as standby guns.

In real life, the P226 has been standard-issue for the Massachusetts State Police since 1987. However, during the scene where Collin is sitting in a class on ballistics while at the academy, the instructor mentions that the department's service pistols are chambered for 9mm hollow-point rounds. This is a slight inaccuracy; the Staties have been using the .40 S&W version of the P226 since the mid-1990s (and more recently switched to the double-action-only DAK model, whereas the guns in the movie are SA/DA models).
