Beretta 92D

A Beretta 92D is seen used by Operative Bly during a confrontation at the UN. Shaw is also seen shooting his leg chains with a Beretta 92D. The D model of the 92 has a smooth back end of the slide (like a Taurus) aka no decocker/safety. One might confuse it with a Taurus if it were not for the clear view of the rest of the pistol. The "D" model also has a shaved hammer and is a strictly DAO pistol.
