Handguns
Glock 23
Boston PD Detective Thomas Craven (Mel Gibson) carries a Glock 23 as his main sidearm throughout the film. He uses it on multiple occasions, most notably to dispatch some of Northmoor's private security personnel working for Jack Bennett (Danny Huston). When Craven enters David Burnham's (Shawn Roberts) apartment, the "23" slide markings are clearly visible. The Glock 23 is also the real life issue weapon of Boston Police Department's officers and detectives.

Craven comes knockin' on David Burnham's (Shawn Roberts) apartment door. Note in this shot we can see the slide markings '23', 'AUSTRIA', and '.40', which confirm the gun as a Glock 23. Also note the depressed trigger, indicating the weapon has not been made ready.
This is not a preferable method for Law Enforcement to enter a room or building, as a suspect lying in wait could easily grab the gun before the officer is through the door - which is exactly what happens to Craven.
"Like your name and what you're doin' here" - Craven aims his Glock at Darius Jedburgh (Ray Winstone).
