Above the Law is the 1988 action movie that launched Steven Seagal's movie career. In the film, he plays Nico Toscani, a Chicago cop with a CIA past and family in the Mafia.
Chicago cop Nico Toscani (Steven Seagal) carries a Colt Government as his main sidearm in the film. During the shootout in the meatpacking district, his Government changes several times to a Commander (see below). In reality, Steven Seagal owns and uses in real life several 1911s.
After he returns home to get his wife and child out of the house, Toscani retrieves a bag containing several weapons, including a Colt Commander (or Combat Commander).
The Heckler & Koch P9S is the main sidearm of Nelson Fox (Chelcie Ross) when he reunites with Toscani later in the film. After he's shot in the parking garage, Fox hands off his P9 to Toscani.
Toscani keeps a Mossberg 500 Cruiser in his arsenal of weapons at home. Zagon also uses one in the apartment shootout
when he wounds Toscani's partner Delores "Jacks" Jackson (Pam Grier).
One of the men sent to kill Toscani uses a Norinco Type 56 rifle to shoot up the car.
