During the trek into East St. Louis to search for gold, Don ([[William Sadler]]) takes along an [[M1911 pistol series|M1911]]-type pistol which has a long slide. This gun is also used frequently by Vince ([[Bill Paxton]]) in several scenes. It is not clear exactly what type of 1911 this is; it looks somewhat like an [[M1911 pistol series#AMT Hardballer|AMT Hardballer]], but the Hardballer was only ever offered with a stainless finish, whereas the gun in the movie has a regular blued finish. Hopefully, somebody can use these screencaps to identify the pistol.

:It has Pachmyr grips, the rear sights match the AMT's exactly, and the slide is 6" with non-venitalted barrel ribbing. I'll try to match it. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::What's weird is that in terms of its styling, it looks like a very old 1911, yet who was offering longslide 1911s before about 30 years ago? This might be something that was custom-built by the movie's armorer. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]
:::If it is a custom gun built by the armorer, don't rule out the Hardballer. The slide could have been bead-blasted and blued. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::::Yeah, but that seems like kind of a weird modification to make. I can't think of any reason anyone would do that. Also note that the trigger is a standard M1911A1-style, not the longer trigger of the Hardballer. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]
::Not really. By remaking it blue, it makes it look more classic. And triggers can be swapped out easily enough. If someone was making a custom gun in an attempt to make it look classic, they'd most likely swap out the triggers for something more simple. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

Trespass is a 1992 film directed by Walter Hill, about a pair of firemen, Vince and Don (Bill Paxton and William Sadler, respectively), who come across a map to a stash of gold stolen in the 1940s. Things become complicated, however, when they witness a gangland execution by a group of drug dealers led by King James (Ice-T) and his right-hand man Savon (Ice Cube), which leads to a hostage situation and a stand-off.
During the trek into East St. Louis to search for gold, Don (William Sadler) takes along an M1911-type pistol which has a long slide. This gun is also used frequently by Vince (Bill Paxton) in several scenes. It is not clear exactly what type of 1911 this is; it looks somewhat like an AMT Hardballer, but the Hardballer was only ever offered with a stainless finish, whereas the gun in the movie has a regular blued finish. Hopefully, somebody can use these screencaps to identify the pistol.
Early in the film, when Vince (Bill Paxton) and Don (William Sadler) are putting out a fire in a burning building in Arkansas, they run into an old man named Eugene DeLong (Hal Landon Jr.) who holds a Colt Detective Special on them briefly before giving them a map to the gold he stole from a Catholic Church in 1940. Later in the film, the drug dealer Wickey (Stoney Jackson) can also be seen using a Colt Detective Special as his weapon-of-choice. When the drug dealers bring in a cache of heavier weapons, he rejects the opportunity to re-arm with an AR-15, saying that he "don't need no big-ass gun". He then takes out his Colt Detective Special, which prompts the other gangsters to mock him.
King James (Ice-T) carries a snub-nose Smith & Wesson Model 686 with ivory grips as his sidearm throughout the movie. Later, this weapon is taken by Bradlee (Art Evans).
When the hostage situation begins, King James calls up his arms dealer Raymond (Bruce A. Young) and requests "heavy artillery". Raymond brings along a cache of weapons including a half-dozen Colt AR-15 Sporter-1 (SP1) assault rifles. Although the weapons have M16A2-style hand guards, they can be recognized as AR-15 SP1s by the "slab side" lower receiver (visible in several shots), and the fact that none of the weapons are ever fired on full-auto. Most of King James' men, including Savon (Ice Cube), Moon (Byron Minns), Cletus (Tommy 'Tiny' Lister), and Davis (Tico Wells) use AR-15s after this.

Note that the pistol grip and hand guards have rubber bands wrapped around them, which seems to be characteristic of almost every gun used by the drug dealers in this movie.Error creating thumbnail: File missingVideo (T.E.

Note that in this shot, the blank-firing adapter (BFA) is clearly visible within the rifle's flash hider.
Steyr SSG
Another of the weapons that Raymond (Bruce A. Young) brings along is a Steyr SSG sniper rifle with an extended box magazine, which is subsequently used by Luther (Glenn Plummer), who claims to have been a marksman in the Army.
Raymond also brings along several sawed-off shotguns which are seen in the trunk of his car. One of them, a Remington 870, is used by King James during the later part of the movie.
