In the Season 1 finale "What Kind of Day Has It Been" (S1E22), one of the white supremacists uses what appears to be a Beretta 92SB to open fire on President Bartlet (Martin Sheen) and his people.

SIG-Sauer P228
In "Mr. Willis of Ohio" (S1E06), SIG-Sauer P228 are seen drawn by Secret Service agents after Zoey Bartlet's panic button is activated in a bar. The SIG-Sauer pistol also is fired by a Secret Service Agent in the Season 1 finale "What Kind of Day Has It Been" (S1E22). In Season 2's episode "In the Shadow of Two Gunmen, Part II" (S2E02), White House Communications Director C.J. Cregg (Allison Janney) mentions that the pistol that the Secret Service carries is a ".357 SIG-Sauer" (only the P229 is chambered for .357), but the weapon seen in the finale appeared to be the 9mm P228.
US Secret Service Agent Simon Donovan (Mark Harmon) pulls his SIG-Sauer P226 in Season 3's finale "Posse Comitatus" (S3E21). In reality, the P228 was the issued sidearm around the time of the episode's airing and the Service was in the process of switching over to the P229. USSS Agent Wesley Davis (Taye Diggs) draws his SIG-Sauer pistol in Season 4's "Commencement" (S4E22), but the pistol changes to a Glock later in the episode.
In Season 3's "We Killed Yamamoto" (S3E20), US Secret Service Agent Simon Donovan (Mark Harmon) is seen firing a .357 Smith & Wesson Model 686 on the range. When Donovan mentions that it's a .357 Magnum, C.J. Cregg (Allison Janney) mentions that "it's a good brand". She also gets to shoot the revolver, but the recoil puts her on the ground.
What appears to be a Glock 34 is held by Secret Service Agent Wesley Davis (Taye Diggs) after he exits the club in Season 4's "Commencement" (S4E22). This is a continuity error as he appeared to carry a SIG-Sauer earlier. The Glock is also not the usual firearm issued by the Secret Service.
In Season 2's "In the Shadow of Two Gunmen, Part II" (S2E02), SWAT officers are armed with Heckler & Koch MP5A3's as they apprehend one of the suspects in the assassination plot against the President.

In the episode "In the Shadow of Two Gunmen, Part II" (S2E02), White House Communications Director C.J. Cregg (Allison Janney) mentions that the weapon used was a "726 caliber" custom made rifle designated a "JAR" (Just Another Rifle), but the one seen here appears to be the 700PSS.
