Training Day (2001)

Beretta 92

Hoyt (Ethan Hawke) carries the LAPD standard issue 9mm Beretta 92 throughout the film. Much like Hoyt the Beretta 92 has a history of reliability, accuracy and ruggedness. For a "by the books" man like Hoyt the Beretta 92 is a great choice.

S&W 645

Alonzo (Denzel Washington) carries twin Smith & Wesson 645s in .45 ACP with custom rear sights throughout Training Day. The S&W 645 has a history of flashy owners, Det. James 'Sonny' Crockett (Don Johnson) carried a S&W 645 in seasons 3 and 4 of Miami Vice. To my knowledge the S&W 645 has never been a standard issue pistol in the LAPD, although it has seen standard issue service with other law enforcement departments throughout the country. For Alonzo a pair of S&W 645s are fitting; the imposing presence of a Colt 1911, more powerful than the standard issue LAPD 9mm, and unique enough to get noticed.
