Walther PPK

Dormer also carries a Walther PPK as a backup weapon. He keeps in the three o'clock position in a back holster. In the film it is referred to as being a 9mm, which it would be if it is chambered in .380ACP. The German caliber of that is 9mm Kurz (short).

Smith & Wesson Model 10

Walter Finch (Robin Williams) keeps a Smith & Wesson Model 10, .38 Special that once belonged to his uncle. Detective Farrell (Larry Holden) is shot in the leg with one in the beachfront scene. Dormer finds it and later uses it to try and frame Finch for shooting his partner Hap Eckhart. However, Finch outsmarts Dormer and passes the frame on to Randy Stetz (Jonathan Jackson).

Glock 23

Glock 23 handguns are carried by several Nightmute police officers including Ellie Burr (Hilary Swank). In their discussion of the discoverd 9mm shell casing, Ellie mentions that "none of us carries a 9mm weapon or a backup weapon," which means that they are likely carrying .40 caliber Glocks. Finch is seen later holding one.
