Glock 19

Det. Nick Peretti (Judd Nelson) carries a Glock 19 as his personal weapon for the entire movie. In one scene, he uses a suppressor with his Glock to shoot a "smiley face" on a paper target hanging up in his own penthouse apartment as Scotty (Ice-T) and Lieutenant Stone (Mario Van Peebles) look on, questioning his sanity. Later on, he uses the same gun to save Scotty's life when confronting the Duh Duh Man (Bill Nunn). Scotty is later seen threatening Nino with the Glock.

Along with The Hard Way and Toy Soldiers, this film marks one of the earliest appearances of the Glock 19. One of the screen-used Glock 19s from the film was later sold in a 2018 Heritage Auction listing.
