|
| Hoyt ([[Ethan Hawke]]) carries the LAPD standard issue 9mm [[Beretta 92]] throughout the film. Much like Hoyt the [[Beretta 92]] has a history of reliability, accuracy and ruggedness. For a "by the books" man like Hoyt the [[Beretta 92]] is a great choice.

| == S&W 645 ==
| |
|
| |
| Alonzo ([[Denzel Washington]]) carries twin [[S&W 645|Smith & Wesson 645s]] in .45 ACP with custom rear sights throughout Training Day. The [[S&W 645]] has a history of flashy owners, Det. James 'Sonny' Crockett ([[Don Johnson]]) carried a [[S&W 645]] in seasons 3 and 4 of Miami Vice. To my knowledge the [[S&W 645]] has never been a standard issue pistol in the LAPD, although it has seen standard issue service with other law enforcement departments throughout the country. For Alonzo a pair of [[S&W 645]]s are fitting; the imposing presence of a [[Colt 1911]], more powerful than the standard issue LAPD 9mm, and unique enough to get noticed.

| == Glock 17 ==
| |
|
| |
| Mark, one of the men in Alonzo's unit, carries a [[Glock 17]]. In my opinion this was a poor choice by the films Armorer for Mark's character. We know very little about the men in Alonzo's unit, but we do know that Mark wears nice suits. For a man in a nice tailored suit a Glock 17 would be his last choice, it's simply too pedestrian - something along the lines of a custom, or factory custom Sig Sauer P229 in .40 S&W, would have been a better choice.
