Hollywood Homicide is a 2003 action comedy starring Harrison Ford as LAPD Detective Joe Gavilan, who has to juggle his job as a homicide detective working out of the Hollywood Division of the LAPD with his sideline job as a real estate broker. While breaking in a rookie partner (Josh Hartnett), Gavilan tries to solve a multiple homicide involving musicians in the rap industry. The film was directed by Ron Shelton (Dark Blue) and was co-written by Robert Souza, a former LAPD homicide detective who based the screenplay on his own real-life experiences.

The following weapons were used in the film Hollywood Homicide:

Handguns

Smith & Wesson 4566

LAPD Detective Sergeant Joe Gavilan (Harrison Ford) carries a Smith & Wesson 4566 as his sidearm throughout the film. This is quite accurate as the S&W 4566 is actually one of several .45 ACP pistols authorized for carry by officers of the Los Angeles Police Department.

Beretta 92FS

Det. K.C. Calden (Josh Hartnett) keeps a Beretta 92FS as his sidearm throughout the film. LAPD officers are also seen with Berettas, one of which is snatched by a criminal being arrested, who fires it around the police parking lot with his hands cuffed behind his back. K.C counts the shots fired and goes to jump him after 15 shots (which, if closely counted, is the full 16 shots), only to be shown by Joe that the gun still has "One in the 'spout'" (meaning one still loaded in the chamber).

Beretta 92FS - 9x19mm

K.C. fires his Beretta 92FS on the firing line at the film's start.

K.C. firing his 92FS. Throughout the film, Hartnett seemed to be a little gun shy, blinking after near every shot. Note how his eyes are closed. This is deliberate, as according to the IMDB trivia for this movie Harrison Ford is actually a poor shot and dislikes guns, while Hartnett is something of a marksman.

"You got a live gun here, you're gonna get yourself shot."
The officer's 92FS lays on the ground after being used by the criminal.

K.C.: "What are you talking about? It's a standard-issue Beretta, 15 shots, I counted."
Joe: "And one in the spout!"
Joe shows K.C. the officer's 92FS still had a round in the chamber.

K.C. fires his 92FS (serial number BER148278Z) on the range at night. First he fires 13 shots, then reloads. He then fires 14 shots and the slide locks back, despite how a fully loaded 15 shot mag plus a round in the chamber makes 16 rounds, not 14. Although this may have been done to fit within the allotted time for the scene. Note that this shot was later reused in 21 Jump Street.

K.C. retrieves his Beretta 92FS.

Glock 17

Danny Broome (James MacDonald) is seen with a Glock 17 2nd Generation with chromed slide which he shows to Joe and K.C. in an attempt to intimidate them. Antoine Sartain (Isaiah Washington) is later seen using the same Glock to fire at Joe as he pursues him.

Smith & Wesson 3913

Lieutenant Bennie Macko (Bruce Greenwood) is seen with a compact Smith & Wesson auto, most likely a Smith & Wesson 3913.

Walther PPK/S - .380 ACP.
