The Chinese boy steals a [[SIG-Sauer P220]] (Judging from the lack of a double stack ridge) off Nicoletti ([[Will Patton]]) from his drawer and then takes Det. Reuben Goetz ([[Dermot Mulroney]]) hostage.
Inspector Nicoletti ([[Will Patton]]) carries a [[SIG-Sauer P220]] (Judging from the lack of a double stack ridge) as his sidearm. The SIG P220 is notably seen when Nicoletti removes it from his holster and puts it in his drawer, however he forgets to lock the drawer which results in a detained suspect, a Chinese boy stealing it and then takes Det. Reuben Goetz ([[Dermot Mulroney]]) hostage. Another police officer holds his own P220 at the Chinese boy. Several SFPD SWAT officers carry SIG P220 pistols as well with at least one drawn during the evacuation of Foley’s burning house.

Later in the film, Detective M.J. Monahan (Holly Hunter) carries a backup sidearm in addition to her SIG-Sauer P230. This firearm appears to be another small .380 caliber pistol, possibly a Colt Mustang or a Mustang Plus II. The secondary sidearm also appears to have a blued finish, so it is obviously not the Colt Combat Commander that she used earlier in the film or a Para-Ordnance P-12, due to the size it is in her hand. We can't be sure, but it's probably a Colt Mustang. Either way, Monahan sure likes her .380s.
Colt Combat Commander with Seecamp Conversion
Detective M.J. Monahan (Holly Hunter) uses a double action converted Colt Commander with satin stainless finish and wraparound rubber Pachmayr grips while shooting on the gun range.
Beretta 92F
Detective Reuben Goetz (Dermot Mulroney) uses a Beretta 92F as his sidearm, most notably at the ballistic shootout gun range. One of the desk jockey cops at the station also is seen with a holstered older model, likely a Beretta 92F, judging by its glossy black grips.
Smith & Wesson Model 28 Highway Patrolman
Daryll Lee Cullum (Harry Connick Jr.) steals a Smith & Wesson Model 28 Highway Patrolman off the policeman who comes to the bathrooms. Peter Foley (William McNamara) also has a Model 28 revolver in his police gun belt holster in a attempt to replicate Hellen’s experience, however he never draws it.
SIG-Sauer P220
Inspector Nicoletti (Will Patton) carries a SIG-Sauer P220 (Judging from the lack of a double stack ridge) as his sidearm. The SIG P220 is notably seen when Nicoletti removes it from his holster and puts it in his drawer, however he forgets to lock the drawer which results in a detained suspect, a Chinese boy stealing it and then takes Det. Reuben Goetz (Dermot Mulroney) hostage. Another police officer holds his own P220 at the Chinese boy. Several SFPD SWAT officers carry SIG P220 pistols as well with at least one drawn during the evacuation of Foley’s burning house.
A cop is seen sitting at a desk in the station is seen carrying a holstered black semi-automatic in what appears to be a black leather holster. We here at the IMFDB were stumped for years as to what exactly this gun was (because of poor quality screen grabs and an overall lack of clear shots of the weapon in the film). There were several culprits based on size and color, though few enough to narrow down a few likely suspects, such as a Smith & Wesson 6904 or a compact Glock 19 (the Glock 26 was not introduced until several years after this film was made). It is not clearly seen enough to identify from the side (even on higher quality prints of the film), though a front shot of the cop reveals what appears to be a Glock "cup"-style rear sight. The size of the pistol in the holster makes it likely that it is a Glock 19, mostlikely a second-generation model.
