The trigger guard looks a bit too rounded to be a P22


I want to say it looks like a PSM, PSS, or maybe a Type 77


In the movie it was said to be a 9mm ceramic gun to bypass metal detectors, could be movie BS. If compared to the P22, then it could have been a P99

That is not a Walther product what so ever...it looks nothing like anything walther has made in the time period that the movie was made...NOT a walther. Spades of Columbia

Glock 17

Shaw (Wesley Snipes) then gets a Glock 17 fitted with a suppressor from a former operative's secret cache of weapons. NYPD officers as well as FBI Special Agent Frank Capella (Maury Chaykin) also carry the Glock.

That's weird...I remember Bly's weapon distinctly being a 92D. Several closeups on the gun (which aren't seen here) show the smoothed "flat" hammer that the 92D equips, instead of the spurred, exposed hammer from the 92FS. Can anyone confirm this? --Clutch 01:34, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Beretta 93R

An assassin is seen with a Beretta 93R later in the film.

Actually, this is just a M92 modified to fire bursts, what is usually done in films. (triggerguard and safety on the slide give it out)

Nope, this is an actual 93R. Look closer - the safety's frame-mounted and the trigger guard is accurate. --Clutch 01:36, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Beretta 92D

Shaw is seen shooting his leg chains with a Beretta 92D. The D model of the 92 has a smooth back end of the slide (like a Taurus) aka no decocker/safety. One might confuse it with a Taurus if it were not for the clear view of the rest of the pistol. The "D" model also has a shaved hammer and is a strictly DAO pistol.
