LAPD SWAT members including Jack Traven (Keanu Reeves) and Harry Temple (Jeff Daniels) keep M1911A1 pistols as their sidearms in the film. Since LAPD SWAT wanted something less limiting then revolvers after the North Hollywood shootout, they chose M1911A1 pistols. These 1911 models varied differently for each user, many of which where handguns originally confiscated from criminals and tricked out by the department "gun cage jockey" who would turn the guns into tactical weapons. These were also the first guns to be fitted with frame mounted flashlights. After deciding to have the department issue these guns so the officers wouldn't have to buy them, they tested several models until they decided upon the Kimber Custom II as their sidearms. Since this film is before the issue of these guns, the 1911s can be any type of model.

Harry curses him for this and he shrugs a "what did you expect" shrug.
Jack points his M1911A1 at Payne, who is now without a hostage.
