The SIG-Sauer P228 is the main sidearm of nearly all the NCIS agents in the series including Special Agents Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), Anthony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly), and Timothy McGee (Sean Murray). Mossad Officer Ziva David (Cote de Pablo) and Director Jenny Shepard (Lauren Holly) also carry the SIG.
The Beretta 92FS (used in lieu of the Beretta M9) appears as the issued sidearm of various military personnel and in the hands of various characters throughout the series. In Season 3's "Kill Ari, Part 1", terrorist Ari Haswari (Rudolf Martin) holds Dr. Mallard's assistant, Gerald, hostage with one. Gibbs also keeps one in his car during the events of "Kill Ari: Part 2," as it is seen while he and Jenny are staking out Ari's safe house. Port Security Chief Matthew Lake (Daniel Roebuck) pulls a Beretta in the later Season 3 episode, "Boxed In".
In Season 3's "Light Sleeper" (S3E14), a .40 caliber Beretta 8040 Cougar F owned by Marine Sgt. Malcolm Porter (Tim Griffin) is identified as the murder weapon in the shooting of two military wives. While examining it in her laboratory, Abby embarks on a brief segue on a critics' description of the .40 S&W round as a "Short and Wimpy," when measured against the 10mm Autoload. The handgun appears to be Inox variant.
A kidnapper is seen about to use a suppressed Walther P99 on a kidnapped Marine right before Gibbs and the team breach the room in Season 3's "Honor Code".
