Beretta 92FS
George Kuffs (Christian Slater) carries the Beretta 92FS as his main sidearm in the film. He buys it from a gun store, where he asks the salesman to give him "a really big gun that holds a lot of bullets", to which the salesman replies, "God bless you, young man", and then shows him a "9 millimeter Beretta, 15 in the clip, 1 in the pipe." Kuffs then decides to buy two. A Beretta 92FS is also fired by one of Sam's thugs during the rooftop shootout.
Smith & Wesson Model 29
The Smith & Wesson Model 29 is the main sidearm of Brad Kuffs (Bruce Boxleitner) at the beginning of the film. A Model 29 is also carried by SFPD Officer Ted Bukovsky (Tony Goldwyn) during the final rooftop shootout; he buys it at a gun store, where he refers to it as a ".44 Magnum".
Smith & Wesson 639
The Smith & Wesson 639 is used by the suicidal jumper to shoot Kuffs before he jumps out the window. High speed film of a gun being actually fired was used for this sequence.
Smith & Wesson 5900
Police special officer Donnelly (Joshua Cadman) fires a Smith & Wesson 5900 during the rooftop shootout.
SIG-Sauer P226
The SIG-Sauer P226 is fired by both Kuffs and Officer Bukovsky during the final rooftop shootout. The weapon is purchased by Bukovsky at the gun store; he even refers to it specifically as a "SIG 226".
