Handguns

Glock 17

The Glock 17 is first used by San Francisco Police Inspector Scott Roper (Eddie Murphy) when he asks for one from a SWAT officer. Roper also carries the Glock as his sidearm throughout the film. Officer McCall (Michael Rapaport) pulls his Glock during the final standoff with Roper. All of the Glock 17s in the film are 1st Generation models, even though the 2nd Generation version would have been widely available when this movie was filmed. However, when Roper asks for a Glock from a SWAT officer, the officer hands him a rubber Glock 17 which was cast from a 2nd Generation model (detailed below).

Korda holds a real Beretta 92FS.

Non Gun Beretta

In some scenes, particularly on the cable car, Korda's Beretta becomes a Non Gun Beretta 92FS. This is likely because it is fired in close proximity to actors in a confined space, where the noise would be difficult to manage even with ear plugs.
