Pistols

Beretta 92F

In preparation for the shipyard heist. John Sedley (Mickey Rourke) purchases a Beretta 92F and Glock 17 from a gun dealer. Larry (J.W. Smith) is also seen with what appears to be one towards the end of the film.

Beretta 92F - 9x19mm. The cosmetic differences are very slight and hard to see. Most of the changes are the inner workings of the gun.
