Talk:Taken (2008)

Overview

How's it look? This movie was kind of hard to screencap due to its fast pace. Many guns I had to constantly go back and go frame by frame to grab. If I missed any, they would be too hard to ID anyway, but I think I got them all. The introduction of newer guns was a refreshing challenge, and a step up from the typical movie guns. - Gunmaster45

Awesome job, I was hoping one of you guys would take up this movie soon, I was considering it for awhile. When Jean-Claude was trying to arrest Brian, were there any clear shots of the guns his men had when they found his phone/walkie talkie? I can't remember. Diego Wolfwood

I'll check, there could be a possibility. - Gunmaster45

It looks great! I rented this movie Friday and thought about screencapping it myself, but I'm really busy with my class, so I didn't have time to do it myself. I think you pretty much got everything. In fact, you even got some guns that I think I would have missed. -MT2008

SIG P229 to P239

I'm not sure this is a P229. The trigger guard seems too round. I think it is actually a P239. -MT2008

I agree, it looks more like a P239, it has a rounded trigger guard and a it is a bit smaller.-GunnutHk

If you look at a SIG P239, the slide cuts stops 3/4ths of the way to the end of the slide. This cut goes all the way to the end, so I figured it was a P229. - Gunmaster45

Huh? Sorry, I don't follow. Only on the older model P220s and P226s (the ones with the mandrel-stamped slides) is there a .75" space between the cocking serrations and the rear of the slide. The P239 doesn't have that. Also, look at the first screenshot of him taking the gun out. On a P229, the slide profile makes the cocking serrations visible if seen from the front (they hang out from the side), while a P239 doesn't have that. Also, the hammer seems to be the wrong shape, too. I say, definitely P239. -MT2008

Okay, here's my explaination (read closely, this is hard to explain).

Okay, see how the cocking serrations are full length and the single line going horizontally across the slide stops at the serrations? Well on a P229, the line goes through the cocking serrations and the serrations are cut to half their size.

It's hard to explain but you look at the shots from the movie:

Note how the horizontal line goes through the cocking serrations, unlike a P239.

Now, I agree it doesn't quite match a P229, maybe it is a DAK model? - Gunmaster45
