SIG-Sauer P229

All the Secret Service Agents including Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) and Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox) carry the SIG-Sauer P229 as their standard sidearms. The agents use this weapon in a .357 Sig round. There is also a continuity error when Dennis Quaid is seen firing many more rounds than the magazine holds before reloading. The gun only holds 13 rounds; 12 in the magazine, and 1 in the chamber.

After the ambulance crash scene, Veronica's Beretta 92FS can be seen lying next to her

Could these be Vector Z-88s? I say this because in the last picture, I do not see the traditional Beretta roundel. Instead, there appears to be a triangle.SAWGunner89 00:55, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
