Handguns

Smith & Wesson 4506-1

Detective Tom Ludlow (Keanu Reeves) uses a Smith & Wesson 4506-1 with Novak Lo-Mount sights as his on-duty sidearm in the film, but uses a customized Colt MK IV Series 80 for his off duty activities. He most notably uses it near the beginning of the film, when he hides it in the trunk of a car and uses it to single-handedly takes down four Korean slavers. Although it is not visible in the movie, the 4506 used in the movie has a pair of snake eyes dice and "Vice Special" printed on the right side of the slide between the ejection port and the muzzle. This 4506 was later re-used in several episodes of the TV series Dark Blue (which had the same armorer as this movie).

Custom Colt MK IV Series 80

Detective Tom Ludlow carries a Colt MK IV Series 80 .45 pistol as his off duty piece. The .45 is customized with raised adjustable sights, beaver tail grip safety, a combat hammer, extended ambidextrous slide stop safety, extended slide release, beveled magazine well, stainless barrel, and long type combat trigger. The magazines Ludlow uses also have butt pads. The particular Series 80 from Street Kings would later be re-used in several other movies and TV series, carried by Dylan McDermott in Dark Blue and Cole Hauser in Chase. Special thanks to Terence Morgan, the armorer on all three productions, who provided the picture of the weapon (as seen below).

Heavy Weapons

Browning M2

Ludlow pretends to sell a Browning M2 heavy machine gun to two of the Korean slavers in order to provoke them into stealing his car and the gun, thus allowing him to track them to their final location.
