Having a debate with a friend (Otomik) and we want some clarification.

In the scene where she is skating across the ice shooting the car. She's using a handgun. What is it.

I say:
It's a Sig P220ST.

Otomik says:
The Sig P220ST did not exist when the movie was made in 1996. Instead it's an silver alloy frame P226 with a nickel slide and nickel controls.

Here is a link to a picture of the scene: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/pigasuspress/photos/geena-lkg2.jpg

Please help us decide this debate.

PS: Anyone know the first year of the P220ST?

Thanks in advance.

[otomik]

it's playing again at 2:30 am eastern time on TBS, one of my favorite movies.

The 220ST wasn't even around back then. I think it came out in '01 or '02 but that's just a guess.

[Vex]

Then what is it? weird aftermarket finished 226 like otomik thinks? I highly doubt it.

It's definitely a 220. Look at the size of the bore and the angle of the grip. Did the 220 come in an alloy frame with silver slide? The two-tone model has a silver slide.... I don't think it was nickel. So where did this all silver 220 come from?

[otomik]

looking at the picture I'm pretty sure I see a slightly more steep angle of the dustcover and an angled cut on the frame between the decock lever and the dissasembly latch that indicates the doublestack magwell of a P226. The front of the slide also seems to have the P226's more rounded edge (some people say the P220 has a lot of sharp edges).

It'd probably be too hard to deduct from just this photograph.
You two should fight to the death.

Or it could have been a P220 that had been fully nickled. I seem to remember seeing some years ago. But I agree that the P220ST had not come out when that movie was made. The first stainless Sig I remember was a P229 Sport with this ugly snot looking compensator on the front.

Sorry, I can't help with the gun debate, but this is one of my very favorite movies. It has some of the funniest lines ever in a movie.

"What, now you're a sharp shooter?"

"Chefs do that."

"When I first met you, you were like 'Oh, fooey, I burned the darn muffins.' Now, you go into a bar, five minutes later sailors come running out. What up with that?"

[CAS700850]

Looking at the picture, I'm going to guess: Sig 226, after-market finish, with some type of compensator which makes the bore size look larger. The reason I'm guessing 226 is I think I can see the little ledge behind the take-down lever where the frame size expands to allow for the double-stacked magazine.

Can't helpwith the gun ID...But I also like this movie alot...didn't watch it last night, 'cause I'd just watched it a couple weeks ago...but definitely a classic.

Anyway, this is what I thought it was: http://w3.jura.ch/slc/images/P220.jpg

P220, all silver. This particular model is a 9mm.

[Sungun09]

Isn't that the movie, produced in 1996 or so, where the Government attempts to stage a mass murder and uses the corpse of an arab to blame "outside parties" to help increase their funding ?

Sorry if i ruined the plot for some of you..

"Vegetarian Fury?" Look, we all tried to warn you about the roughage. But you had to go for it anyway.

Don't get too overconfident Vex, he may know Corn-Fu.

Besides, even if it is a total beat-down, it would prove to be amusing.
