San Diego Police Department Detective Michael Dooley (James Belushi) carries a Beretta 92SB with wood grips as his primary weapon in this movie. The handgun is most prominently seen when Dooley lays his gun on the hospital tray table. In one scene, he mentions to "Jerry Lee", his new German Shepherd partner, that he's going to pull out his "revolver". (How do you mistake a Beretta 9mm for a revolver?!!)
Lyman (Kevin Tighe) uses a 9mm Smith & Wesson 5906 in stainless steel. He uses it first to hold Dooley's wife, Tracie (Mel Harris) at gunpoint, and again to shoot Jerry Lee (the dog in the film). When Dooley says the line "You think this is a Nine Millimeter mistake?", he wasn't kidding. People have said that it is really a 4506, but close examination of freeze frames reveal it's a 9mm 5906.
Throughout the film, uniformed officers of the San Diego PD can be seen wearing and aiming Smith & Wesson Model 14 revolvers. Contradictions state that the guns are really Model 27s, but examination of the barrel reveals it is really a .38 Model 14.
