The Glock 19 is the sidearm of the majority of the NYPD detectives in the film including Detective Terry Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg) and Detective Allen Gamble (Will Ferrell). Gamble is also seen being forced by Capt. Mauch (Michael Keaton) to carry a wooden version of a Glock as a "holster stuffer" replacement of his service gun after he is talked into, by Det. Fosse (Damon Wayans Jr.) and Det. Martin (Rob Riggle), doing a "desk pop". Gamble shoots his Glock into the ceiling of the police station as a brave stunt, prompting all the other officers in the room to draw their weapons on him, Gamble proudly saying "Hey, guys! I did my first desk pop!" Glock 19s are also seen in the hands of a couple of criminals. Throughout the film, the actors have fairly good trigger discipline, despite being, in Will Ferrell's case, very little weapon studded films.(IMFDB thanks The Golden Closet for providing the documentation on this gun; also see their sales page for Mark Wahlberg's weapon, here.)

In Detective Hoitz's flashback his Glock has switched into a "Non Gun" Glock. This was probably done for the safety of the actors during the scene.
One of the gags in The Other Guys begins when Det. Gamble is tricked into performing a "Desk Pop" with his Glock 19 inside of the police station and has his weapon temporarily confiscated and replaced with a wooden gun shaped like a Glock 19 throughout much of the film. (IMFDB thanks The Golden Closet for providing the documentation on this gun, as well as the image seen below.)

Det. Danson (Dwayne Johnson) is seen with what appears to be a nickel Colt Mk IV with pearl grips as his main sidearm. (IMFDB thanks The Golden Closet for providing the documentation on this gun; also see their sales page for the weapon, here.)
Det. Terry Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg) keeps a Charter Arms Undercover with pearl grips as his back-up gun. He is most notably seen wielding it during the boardroom shootout.
Roger Wesley (Ray Stevenson) carries a SIG-Sauer P226R as his sidearm throughout the film. Some of Wesley's thugs also use P226Rs.

Wesley's P226R changes into a "Non Gun" SIG during the climax.
Wesley's accomplice, simply billed as the "Brazilian Woman" (Tess Kartel) uses a two-tone SIG-Sauer P232 as her sidearm in the film. She most notably uses it in the boardroom shootout.
Captain Gene Mauch (Michael Keaton) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 36 as his sidearm through the film. Altough Mauch confiscates Allen's Glock and comments that he'll give it back to him when he knows how to handle it, it seems that Mauch is the one with poor gun handling. This was probably done for comedic effect.
Det. Gamble has an nickel plated Taurus PT92 AFS in his hand during a brief flashback from his pimping days in college. It has an accessory rail under the dustcover. (This is still up for debate.)
One of the Rasta robbers fleeing from Highsmith and Danson in the beginning uses an FN Minimi (aka M249, the US adopted version of the light machine gun) to fire at Highsmith's Chevelle SS. He later dumps it as Highsmith comes crashing on the Rasta's Cadillac Escalade with his Chevy Chevelle SS.

SIG SG 556 Classic
A couple of Chechen assassins use SIG SG 556 Classic rifles from a helicopter to shoot at Gamble and Hoitz during the climax. The rifles appear to have a CAR stocks installed instead of the original factory folding stocks.

Desert Eagle
In some publicity material for the film (such as the poster above), Mark Wahlberg can be seen dual-wielding Desert Eagles with stainless steel finishes, spoofing various John Woo-style movie posters. On the movies web site, Wahlberg is seen firing these, hanging from cables, mocking the poster before crashing into Will Ferrell. Ferrell comments that he dropped his "$1,000 gun". Most Desert Eagles run in range from approximately $1,500-$2,200, making his comment somewhat correct.
In some of the aforementioned publicity material, Will Ferrell can be seen wielding both a Desert Eagle and what appears to be a SIG-Sauer P220 Sport with an accessory rail integrated into the compensator.
