Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) and other Secret Service agents, including Agent Roma (Cole Hauser), use current-production SIG-Sauer P229 E2 pistols as their sidearms. Banning uses the P229 during the initial attack on the White house, but later discards it after running out of ammunition.

Former Agent Dave Forbes (Dylan McDermott) also uses the P229 as his sidearm.

In a continuity error, Kang Yeonsak's (Rick Yune) SIG-Sauer P229 E2 changes into a SIG-Sauer P228 near the film's climax.

Some of the North Koreans who invade the White House are armed with Glock 17 pistols. Metropolitan Police Department officers use Glocks while battling the terrorists. Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) kills one of the terrorists, and takes his equipment, including a Glock 17, after his P229 runs out of ammunition.
